Effect of ketamine on pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine response in paediatric cardiac surgery: A prospective randomised controlled study.

ABSTRACT: Paediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a marked inflammatory response and triggers release of inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to study the effect of ketamine on the inflammatory response during correction of congenital cyanotic heart diseases.Sixty-six patients with congenital cyanotic heart diseases scheduled for cardiac surgery were randomised into three groups. Group A patients did not receive ketamine (control group), Group B patients received 2 mg/kg ketamine intravenous (IV) and Group C patients received ketamine 2 mg/kg IV and an IV infusion of ketamine (50 μg/kg/min). Interleukin (IL) levels for IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels were examined in the three groups at four timings: pre-operative (baseline), intraoperative (after weaning off the CPB) and post-operative (6 and 24 h after weaning off CPB). Paired sample t-test and ANOVA test were used for statistical analysis and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Within each group, the intra- and post-operative serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and CRP were significantly elevated from the baseline, however, TNF-α was not significantly elevated. There were no statistically significant differences in the IL, CRP or TNF-α levels between the three groups.Paediatric cardiac surgery for congenital cyanotic heart disease is a triggering factor for the inflammatory response, yet we could not detect any beneficial effect of ketamine on that response whether given either as an IV induction dose or continued as an IV infusion.

Project description:Cardiac surgery encompasses various stimuli that trigger pro-inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species and mobilization of leucocytes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of xenon on the inflammatory response during cardiac surgery.This randomized trial enrolled 30 patients who underwent elective on-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting in balanced anaesthesia of either xenon or sevoflurane. For this secondary analysis, blood samples were drawn prior to the operation, intra-operatively and on the first post-operative day to measure the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8/C-X-C motif ligand 8 (IL-8/CXCL8), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Chemokines such as C-X-C motif ligand 12/ stromal cell-derived factor-1? (CXCL12/SDF-1?) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) were measured to characterize xenon's perioperative inflammatory profile and its impact on migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).Xenon enhanced the postoperative increase of IL-6 compared to sevoflurane (Xenon: 90.7 versus sevoflurane: 33.7 pg/ml; p = 0.035) and attenuated the increase of IL-10 (Xenon: 127.9 versus sevoflurane: 548.3 pg/ml; p = 0.028). Both groups demonstrated a comparable intraoperative increase of oxidative stress (intra-OP: p = 0.29; post-OP: p = 0.65). While both groups showed an intraoperative increase of the cardioprotective mediators MIF and CXCL12/SDF-1?, only MIF levels decreased in the xenon group on the first postoperative day (50.0 ng/ml compared to 23.3 ng/ml; p = 0.012), whereas it remained elevated after sevoflurane anaesthesia (58.3 ng/ml to 53.6 ng/ml). Effects of patients' serum on chemotactic migration of peripheral mononuclear blood cells taken from healthy volunteers indicated a tendency towards enhanced migration after sevoflurane anaesthesia (p = 0.07).Compared to sevoflurane, balanced xenon anaesthesia triggers pro-inflammatory effects and suppresses the anti-inflammatory response in cardiac surgery patients even though the clinical significance remains unknown.This clinical trial was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EudraCT-number: 2010-023942-63) and at ClinicalTrials.gov ( NCT01285271 ; first received: January 24, 2011).

Project description:IntroductionCardiac 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 analysisThis 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 disseminationThe 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 numberChiCTR2000029232.
