-Summary

During open cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is used to temporarily replace the function of the heart and lungs. Renal ischemia resulting in acute kidney injury is common after cardiac surgery. The renal oxygenation is impaired during CPB, but the oxygenation may be improved by increasing the CPB blood flow. In this randomized study, two CPB flow rates will be compared regarding renal outcome (biomarkers and renal oxygenation/renal blood flow), as well as markers of inflammation and hemolysis. Additionally, urine oxygen tension will be measured during CPB and the early intensive care phase and compared to renal oxygenation. Regional oxygen saturation assessed with near infrared spectroscopy from the brain and kidneys will be monitored during and after surgery.

+Arms and interventions

ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
Normal CPB flowNo interventionIn this group, the target flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) will be 2.4 L/min/m2 throughout the CPB period.
High CPB flowExperimentalProcedure: High CPB flowIn this group, the target flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) will be 2.9 L/min/m2 throughout the CPB period.
  • High CPB flow (Procedure): Target CPB flow 2.9 L/min/m2 throughout the CPB period

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Biomarker u-NAG [24 hours]: Tubulus injury biomarker N-acetyl-ß-d-glucoseaminidase (NAG) will be analyzed in urine with a spectrophotometric method and corrected for urine creatinine.
  • Biomarkers Nephrocheck [24 hours]: Renal biomarker assay Nephrocheck (IGFBP-7 x TIMP-2) will be analyzed in urine
  • Renal oxygen delivery and blood flow [6 hours]: Renal oxygen delivery during and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)

Secondary outcomes

  • Serum creatinine and acute kidney injury (AKI) [48 hours]: Changes in serum creatinine
  • Inflammation IL-1 [24 hours]: Differences in inflammatory marker IL-1
  • Inflammation IL-6 [24 hours]: Differences in inflammatory marker IL-6
  • Inflammation IL-8 [24 hours]: Differences in inflammatory marker IL-8
  • Inflammation IL-10 [24 hours]: Differences in inflammatory markers IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNFa
  • Inflammation TNFa [24 hours]: Differences in inflammatory marker TNFa
  • Complement activation [24 hours]: Differences in complement activation
  • Hemolysis [24 hours]: Differences in markers of hemolysis (free plasma Hb, LD, haptoglobin)
  • Erythropoetin [24 hours]: Differences in serum-erythropoietin
  • Neuroinflammation Tau [4 days]: Changes in Tau
  • Neuroinflammation NF [4 days]: Changes Neurofilament
  • Kidney function [24 hours]: Measured glomerular filtration rate (iohexol clearance) on postoperative day 1
  • Renal function [24 hours]: Measured glomerular filtration rate by iohexole clearance on the first postoperative day

Other outcomes

  • Urinary pO2 [24 hours]: Changes in urinary pO2 measured with laser doppler technique. Correlation with global renal oxygenation will be explored.
