Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The aim of this study is to assess whether opioid-based xenon-anaesthesia,as compared to opioid-based sevoflurane anaesthesia, can be safely administered to patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.;Secondary Objective: Evaluation of: - MACCE (major adverse cardiac and cerebral events, i.e. death from any cause; perioperative myocardial infarction (occurring until discharge from hospital); requirement of surgical revisions; postoperative coronary. - Any cerebrovascular accident not included in MACCE - Any complication occurring in the early postoperative period and not mentioned above (i.e. wound infection, bleeding) - Duration of postoperative intensive care unit and hospital stay - Severity of postoperative critical illness as indicated by the new simplified acute physiology score (SAPS II) - Occurrence and duration of postoperative delirium assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM or CAM-ICU for patients in ICU), to be assessed in combination with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) - Incidence of further AE, SAE and SUSAR not included above ;Primary end point(s): The feasibility and safety of xenon application compared to sevoflurane application after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, as assessed by Depth of anaesthesia, Arterial and peripheral oxygen saturation, Perianaesthetic haemodynamic profile, Renal function and Requirement for blood (product) transfusion. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 6 months after discharge from the hospital.
