NCT05652179

Brief Summary

The incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiopulmonary bypass cardiac surgery is high, which increases postoperative mortality and is not conducive to the prognosis of patients. Stellate ganglion blocks increase renal blood flow, reduce inflammation and stress, and protect the heart muscle. In this study, stellate ganglion block was used to promote rapid recovery of kidney function after cardiopulmonary bypass cardiac surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The incidence and severity of CSA-AKI

    Postoperative serum creatinine was detected once a day from the patient's arrival in the ICU until postoperative day 7. The severity of CSA-AKI was graded by the change in the plasma creatinine levels, according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria

    From the end of surgey to postoperative day 7

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Changes of intraoperative left RBF parameters

    5 minutes after general anesthesia induction,15 minutes after the SGB procedure in Group S and 20 minutes after the completion of the first TEE examination in Group C, and 30 minutes after the end of CPB

  • Changes of perioperative BNP, CK-MB, IL-6, CRP, IL-18, and norepinephrine levels

    preoperatively, Immediately after the surgery,the first day after surgery,the second day after surgery, and the seventh day after surgery

  • Comparison of recovery indicators between the 2 groups

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

  • Hemodynamic changes during surgery.

    after radial artery cannulation,5 min after general anesthesia induction,15 min after the SGB procedure ,30 min after CPB initiation,30 min after the end of CPB,and the end of surgery.

Study Arms (2)

Stellate ganglion block

EXPERIMENTAL

For patients in Group S, left SGB was performed after the first TEE examination. The patient's head was tilted to the right. A high-frequency probe (6-13 MHz) was placed between the C6 and C7 transverse processes to obtain the best image of the longus colli muscle. After iodine disinfection, a 22-G atraumatic needle for peripheral nerve blocks (B. Braun Melsungen AG, Melsungen, Germany) was used to puncture the site posterior to the left carotid artery and on the surface of the longus colli muscle via an in-plane technique. Then,5 mL of 0.375% ropivacaine hydrochloride injection was administered provided that no blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or gas was suctioned out

Drug: Stellate ganglion block

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Patients in Group C did not undergo the SGB procedure.

Interventions

After the induction of general anesthesia and before the start of the surgery,ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block is performed, injecting 5 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine.

Stellate ganglion block

  • non-sinus rhythm, reoperation;
  • contraindications for TEE or SGB;
  • abnormal preoperative renal function;
  • severe preoperative heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction \< 30%, multi-organ dysfunction;
  • and severe infection requiring continuous antibiotic treatment;
  • enrolled in another clinical trial.
  • Elimination criteria:
  • incomplete follow-up data;
  • withdrawal during the procedure;
  • SGB failure or complications;
  • insufficient ultrasonographic imaging of the left renal artery on TEE;
  • repeated CPB during surgery;
  • need for cardiac assist devices (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intra-aortic balloon pump, or ventricular assist devices) after CPB completion.
