Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To explore the effects of Cardioplexol on the protection of cardiac cells during the “ischemic” period in order to allow a rapid and complete reversibility of the cardiac arrest when used during a cardiac surgical intervention under the assistance of a heart-lung machine. ;Secondary Objective: To explore the effects on duration in ICU stay and on duration of hospitalisation To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Cardioplexol ;Primary end point(s): Maximal value of troponin-T (ng/ml) during the first 24 hours following myocardial reperfusion.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6, 12, 24, hours after myocardial reperfusion | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Maximal value of CK-MB during the first 24 hours following myocardial reperfusion. 2. Time between the aortic cross-clamping and the complete cardiac arrest. 3. Percentage of patients requiring catecholamines during aortic cross-clamping. 4. Cumulative dose of catecholamines during aortic cross-clamping. 5. Defibrillation rate after aorta unclamping and coronary reperfusion. 6. Cumulative dose of catecholamines during the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion or until ICU discharge (if discharge occurs before 24 hours). 7. Percentage of patients requiring the installation of an IABP during the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion or until ICU discharge (if discharge occurs before 24 hours). 8. Duration of intubation. 9. Duration of ICU stay. 10. Mortality during the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion or until ICU discharge (if discharge occurs before 24 hours). 11. Maximal ST elevation during the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion or until ICU discharge (if discharge occurs before 24 hours). 12. Duration of hospitalization. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Most secondary endpoints are measured during surgery or during the first 24 hours following myocardial reperfusion (details are described under E.5.2) | — |
