NCT06989762

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether monitoring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and adjusting blood pressure accordingly to maintain optimal renal perfusion pressure can reduce the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. The main question this study aims to answer is: \- Does IAP-guided blood pressure management improve renal perfusion and lower AKI rates in cardiac surgery patients? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:

  • Control Group: Standard ICU care with a conventional Foley catheter.
  • Intervention Group: Standard ICU care with an IAP-monitoring Foley catheter, where blood pressure is adjusted based on IAP readings to optimize renal perfusion pressure. All participants will undergo routine blood and urine tests to assess kidney function during their hospital stay. This study will help determine whether IAP-based hemodynamic management can improve postoperative kidney outcomes and provide a new strategy for AKI prevention in cardiac surgery patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) as defined by KDIGO Criteria

    Acute Kidney Injury will be defined using the KDIGO criteria: an increase in serum creatinine by ≥0.3 mg/dL within 48 hours or an increase to ≥1.5 times the baseline.

    Perioperative.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • ICU Length of Stay

    Perioperative

  • Hospital Length of Stay

Study Arms (2)

Control Group - Standard ICU Care with Conventional Foley

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive standard ICU care after cardiac surgery with a conventional Foley catheter. Blood pressure management will follow routine ICU protocols without intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring.

Device: Conventional Foley Catheter(Medline)

Intervention Group - IAP Monitoring and Renal Perfusion Pressure Optimization

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive standard ICU care after cardiac surgery with an IAP-monitoring Foley catheter. Blood pressure will be adjusted based on IAP readings to optimize renal perfusion pressure(41mmHg).

Device: Accuryn Foley Catheter

Interventions

The Conventional Foley Catheter is a standard urinary catheter used in ICU care to monitor urine output. It does not have intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring capabilities.

Control Group - Standard ICU Care with Conventional Foley

The Accuryn Foley Catheter is an FDA-approved urinary catheter with continuous intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring capability.

Intervention Group - IAP Monitoring and Renal Perfusion Pressure Optimization
