What this Trial Is About

This research investigates how different priming solutions used in the heart-lung machine affect the body's acid-base balance, electrolyte levels, and clinical outcomes during cardiac surgery. The study focuses on patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft or aortic valve replacement surgery, aiming to fill knowledge gaps about optimal priming fluid composition for better patient care and safety. Participants are randomly assigned to one of four groups receiving different priming solutions: Ringer's Acetate alone, Ringer's Acetate with 80 mmol sodium chloride, Ringer's Acetate with 160 mmol sodium chloride, or Plasmalyte alone. Each solution is used to fill the heart-lung machine circuit with 1100 mL before connecting to the patient. This approach helps compare how these fluids influence the body's chemical balance during surgery. Throughout the study, blood samples are collected at various times before, during, and after surgery to measure acid-base balance, sodium levels, osmolality, and other electrolytes. Urine output and hydration status are monitored until the first postoperative day. Additional kidney function and neurological assessments are performed up to three months after surgery. This comprehensive monitoring helps researchers evaluate the impact of each priming solution on patient health and recovery.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Surgery and Immediate Post-operative Care

Duration - Day of surgery and up to 24 hours post operative

Participants undergo cardiac surgery with the heart-lung machine primed with one of the study solutions. Various blood measurements and urine output are taken during and immediately after surgery to assess acid-base balance, electrolyte composition, and kidney function.

1 surgery day visit and monitoring during 24 hours post operative

Post-operative Follow-up

Duration - Up to 4 days post operative with additional assessment at 3 months

Participants have follow-up assessments to monitor acid-base balance, electrolyte levels, kidney function, and neurological outcome after surgery.

Visits at 1 hour, day 1, day 4 post operative and 1 visit at 3 months
