Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of nitric oxide on pulmonary vasculature and right ventricular function in postoperative cardiac surgery patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will evaluate modifiable pathophysiological treatments for postoperative pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction.

One pharmacological, inhaled nitric oxide, and one non-pharmacological, the OLA strategy combining lung recruitment and stabilization with individually optimized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and the possible synergistic effects of both interventions on right ventricular performance. Apart from acting specifically on the pathophysiological mechanisms described, the combination of an OLA strategy and iNO may be particularly beneficial, as modification of pulmonary status by OLA may, in theory, enhance the effects of iNO by significantly increasing gas exchange area and thus alveolar ventilation.

A number of closely related physiological variables will also be studied to better characterize the effects of both strategies and their combination. This may help to better establish the indication for iNO in cardiac surgery patients and improve our understanding of mechanisms that are also present in ARDS patients, albeit on a different scale.

This is a prospective randomized controlled physiological prospective study to be performed in two hospitals. The intervention period is limited to the first 2 -3 hours postoperatively. A total of 54 patients will be recruited.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard treatment (CONT)

The patient will be managed according to the routine clinical protocol, homogenizing the interventions in both participating centers.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

iNO 20-40 ppm

In this arm, inhaled nitric oxide therapy will be initiated at 20 ppm immediately after randomization and after initial data collection. The dose will be reassessed after the first 30 min and may be increased to a maximum of 40 ppm depending on the response observed in ventricular function.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nitric Oxide

Intervention Type DRUG

Administer nitric oxide upon arrival from cardiac surgery and assess cardiac and pulmonary function afterwards.

iNO 20 - 40 ppm + Lung recruitment (iNO-RM)

After 30 min after initiation of nitric oxide therapy following randomization, once patient stability has been confirmed, a brief recruitment maneuver will be performed and the subsequent PEEP level will be individualized according to the best lung compliance. Ventilation will then continue with the standard baseline ventilator settings, but with the PEEP level individually optimized.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Alveolar recruitment maneuver

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Progressive pressure increase on the ventilator to recruit collapsed alveoli and improve pulmonary ventilation.

Nitric Oxide
