Intraoperative Oxygen Treatment, Oxidative Stress, and Organ Injury Following Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

JAMA SurgPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Among adults receiving cardiac surgery, intraoperative hyperoxia increased intraoperative oxidative stress compared to normoxia but did not affect kidney injury or additional measurements of organ injury including delirium, myocardial injury, and atrial fibrillation.

Study context

Population
Adults (>18 years) undergoing elective open cardiac surgery without preoperative oxygen requirement, acute coronary syndrome, carotid stenosis, or dialysis
Participants
200 adults
Comparison
Intraoperative hyperoxia vs normoxia
  • Hyperoxian = 100
  • Normoxian = 100reference
Primary endpoint
Primary mechanistic: F2-isoprostanes and isofurans (oxidative stress); primary clinical: change in serum creatinine from baseline to POD 2
Methodological detailsparticipant- and assessor-blinded, single-centre, Conducted April 2016 to October 2020 with 1 year of follow-up
