Objective: To investigate the effect of aortic root injection of adenosine on myocardial protection in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Study design: double blinded randomized clinical trial.
Inclusion Criteria All CAD patients candidate for coronary artery bypass surgery( CABG) in Shiraz hospitals; completing the consent form for participation in the study.
Exclusion criteria:
Ejection Fraction less than 40%; over 70 years of age; using a balloon pump (IABP); receiving preoperative inotrope; redo –surgeries; combined surgery; emergency surgery; pulmonary disease; chronic atrial fibrillation; chronic arrhythmia treatment.
Methods:
52 patients are divided into two groups of 26patients. After sternotomy and grafting , cannulation is performed.
Aorta is clamped, 12 mg adenosine is injected through the cardiopulmonary cannula and cold blood cardioplegia solution with antigrad method will be injected.
And in the control group (B), they receive the same amount of placebo before the injection of the cardioplegia solution.
The cardiac immobilization time from the onset of cardioplegia solution injection to cardiac asystol will be recorded.
After aortic declamping, we record the momentum of the beat of the heart.
Arterial blood samples are taken for determining the serum level of CPK-MB enzymes, troponin I, at the induction of anesthesia 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery.
Arrhythmia, type and dose of inotropes, homodynamic changes (systolic and diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure) heart rate, and mechanical ventilation time at 6 and 24 hours after surgery will be recorded.
