ABSTRACT: Introduction
Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) occurs in up to 40%~60% of paediatric patients and increases postoperative morbidity and mortality. A goal-directed perfusion (GDP) strategy aimed at maintaining indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i) above the critical threshold (reported to be 260~300?mL/min/m2 in adults) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), is effective in reducing the incidence of CS-AKI. However, no clear standards of paediatric critical DO2i exist. Our prior prospective cohort study exploring the critical DO2i threshold during paediatric CPB has found the nadir DO2i <353 mL/min/m2 was an independent risk predictor of CS-AKI. Based on this background, this trial is designed to further determine whether the implementation of the GDP initiative aimed at maintaining DO2i ?360?mL/min/m2 would reduce the rate of CS-AKI in paediatrics and improve clinical outcome.Methods and analysis
This is a prospective, single-centre, randomised controlled trial. In total, 166 paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery will be randomly allocated to the GDP group or control group. Patients in the GDP arm will be treated with a GDP strategy during CPB aimed to maintain DO2i at ?360?mL/min/m2 (to ensure safely above the risk DO2i threshold we found). The perfusion strategy for patients in the control arm will be factored on body surface area and temperature. The primary outcome is the rate of postoperative CS-AKI (it is defined according to paediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of renal function and End-stage renal disease criteria). The secondary end points include: (1) the other oxygen metabolism parameters during CPB; (2) major complication and all-cause mortality (in-hospital or within 30 days postoperatively); (3) short-term clinical outcomes (ie, time to extubation, mechanical ventilation time, hospital stay).Ethics and dissemination
The study has been approved by the Biomedical Research Ethics committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan University (approval number: 2019(863)). Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conferences.Trial registration number
