Hyperoxia-induced deterioration of diastolic function in anaesthetised patients with coronary artery disease – Randomised crossover trial

BJA OpenPublished Randomised crossover trial

Authors' conclusion

Although the response of biventricular systolic variables is dependent on systolic function at normoxaemia, diastolic function consistently worsens under hyperoxia.

Study context

Population
Patients with coronary artery disease scheduled for elective CABG under GA
Comparison
FiO2 0.8 vs 0.3, randomised order
Primary endpoint
Changes in 3D peak strain (TOE)
Methodological detailsprospective
  • Prospective

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Systolic function (3D peak strain)
  • No statistical difference in systolic function between normoxaemia and hyperoxia

Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) response by normoxaemic LV-GLS (subgroup)

Normoxaemic LV-GLS poorer than cut-off (>−15.4%): improved with hyperoxia

Right ventricular GLS response by normoxaemic RV GLS (subgroup)

Same pattern as LV GLS, cut-off −24.1%
