Trial Outcomes & Findings for Delayed Rewarming for Neuroprotection in Infants Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery (NCT NCT03036072)

NCT ID: NCT03036072

Last Updated: 2020-07-13

Results Overview

In a population of infants with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, does delayed rewarming administered during the 12 hours after surgery, compared to standard care, decrease brain injury as measured by levels of serum biomarkers of brain injury, s100b and neuron specific enolase during the four days after surgery?

Measure
Strict Normothermia
Patients will be rewarmed to 36.5 degrees centigrade in the operating room and maintained here by conventional means in the PICU. Strict normothermia
Delayed Rewarming
Patient will be rewarmed to 35.0 degrees centigrade in the operating room, then slowly rewarmed to normal physiologic temperature (36.5) over 12 hours by using a servo-controlled cooling blanket. Normothermia will be maintained by the cooling blanket for an additional 12 hours. Delayed Rewarming: Use of the servo-controlled cooling blanket for delayed rewarming to target temperature.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 days

Population: Laboratory storage and transportation issues resulted in less than expected number of viable specimens that could be analyzed at all 5 time points.

In a population of infants with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, does delayed rewarming administered during the 12 hours after surgery, compared to standard care, decrease brain injury as measured by levels of serum biomarkers of brain injury, s100b and neuron specific enolase during the four days after surgery?

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 days

In a population of infants with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, is there evidence for increased frequency of severe, moderate or other adverse events in the delayed rewarming group compared to the standard of care group?
