Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the relationship between the duration of rewarming patients and the incidence of acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass surgery
Design
A randomized, single-blinding clinical trial, with the parallel groups, Phase 3 on 80 patients
Settings and conduct
In this randomized, single-blind clinical trial study, 80 eligible patients referred to Chamran Hospital in Isfahan will be enrolled in the study and randomly divided into two groups. Rewarming of patients in the first group will be done at a fast rapid and in the second group at a slow rapid. In this study, the interventionist is aware of the type of intervention in each group, but the patient, researcher, and statistical analyst will not be aware of the type of intervention. Then, the incidence of acute kidney injury and blood parameters of the patients will be evaluated and compared between the two groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria included patients who were candidates for elective coronary artery bypass grafting, aged 40 to 75 years, EF greater than 40%, and written consent to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria included the creatinine level greater than 1.4 mg/dl before surgery, candidate for multiple surgeries simultaneously, need emergency surgery, reoperation, history of angiography in the past 72 hours, history of stroke, history of any kidney disease.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: In this group the patient is rewarmed to a temperature of 37°C with a maximum gradient of 10°C between the nasopharyngeal temperature and the warm water (Fast rate group). Control group: In this group, the patient is rewarmed to a temperature of 37°C with a maximum gradient of 5°C between the nasopharyngeal temperature and the warm water (Slow rate group).
Main outcome variables
Acute kidney injury; Creatinine; Urine output; Glomerular Filtration Rate(GFR); Complications

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, 80 eligible patients are randomly selected. For this, the letter A is written on 40 sheets, and the letter B is written on 40 sheets and each of them is placed in an envelope. Each patient is then asked to choose one of the envelopes. Depending on the selected envelope, the patient is assigned to one of two groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
In order to comply with the blinding conditions, due to the difference in the intervention method in each group to adjust the speed of rewarming of the patient, the interventionist is aware of the type of intervention in each group. It should be noted that it has also been explained to the patient before including the study that one of the two rewarming methods will be performed for them by chance and they may be placed in one of the two groups and if they consent, they will be entered into the study. Therefore, the patient undergoes this process during surgery and therefore will not be aware of the type of intervention. Also, the person collecting the data and the statistician will not have any knowledge of the type of intervention in each group.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: In this group, patients are cannulated in the ascending aorta and right atrium after systemic heparinization. Cardiopulmonary bypass is performed under mild hypothermia (30°C). Mean arterial pressure is maintained at 80-90 mmHg throughout the coronary artery bypass. After the last distal anastomosis, rewarming is performed to 37°C with a maximum gradient of 10°C between nasopharyngeal temperature and warm water (rapid rate group).

Treatment - Surgery

2

Description
Control group: In this group, patients are cannulated in the ascending aorta and right atrium after systemic heparinization. Cardiopulmonary bypass is performed under mild hypothermia (30°C). Mean arterial pressure is maintained at 80-90 mmHg throughout the coronary artery bypass. After the last distal anastomosis, rewarming is performed to 37°C with a maximum gradient of 5°C between nasopharyngeal temperature and warm water (slow speed group).
