Determining and comparing the clinical and laboratory results of adding ascorbic acid to prime fluid in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery
Design
A randomized, triple-blinding clinical trial, with the parallel groups, Phase 3 on 110 patients
Settings and conduct
In this triple-blind randomized clinical trial study, 110 eligible patients, referring to Isfahan Chamran Hospital, will be included in the study and will be randomly divided into two groups. Ascorbic acid will be added to the prime solution for patients in the first group and normal saline in the second group. In this study, the patient, the researcher, and the statistical analyst will not have any knowledge of the type of intervention. Then the inflammatory factors and blood parameters of the patients will be evaluated and compared between the two groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria include patients who are candidates for elective CABG surgery in Chamran Hospital, age category over 35 years, EF over 30%, consent to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria include patients who have other cardiac surgeries at the same time as coronary bypass surgery, having a history of vitamin C use in the last three months, a history of corticosteroid use before hospitalization, having severe kidney or liver failure, re-surgery(, having Drug sensitivity is having a history of celiac disease (due to the effect on vitamin C levels) or malabsorption problems.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: 25 mg/kg of ascorbic acid will be added to the prime solution Control group: 25 mg/kg placebo (normal saline) will be added to the prime solution.
Main outcome variables
Troponin; C-reactive protein (CRP); Ejection fraction (EF), Drainage rate of chest tube
