Conditions

Pulmonary Hypertension Due to Left Heart Disease

Brief summary

The investigator compared difference between inhaled and intravenous milirinone in patiens with severe pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiac surgery

Detailed description

Milrinone is widely used in cardiac surgery as an inotrope and pulmonary vasodilator agent But , intravenous milrinone has been associated with systemic hypotension and increased requirement for vasoactive drugs The investigator compared difference between inhaled and intravenous milirinone in patiens with severe pulmonary hypertension undergoing cardiac surgery

Interventions

DRUGMilrinone inhalation

After induction of anesthesia and stable hemodynamics inhaled milrinone( 1 mg/ml) is initiated and intravenous placebo ( normal saline )infusion are administered

After induction of anesthesia and stable hemodynamics inhaled placebo( normal saline) is initiated and intravenous ( 1 mg/ml) (0.5 μg/kg/min)infusion are administered

Inclusion criteria

* Patients scheduled to undergo mitral valve surgery by cardiopulmonary bypass with estimated mean pulmonary artery pressure =\>55 estimated by using preoperative Doppler echocardiography

Exclusion criteria

Patients were excluded if they had surgery without CPB, preoperative hemodynamic instability (defined as acute requirement for vasoactive support or mechanical device),Patients with severe LV dysfunction (LV ejection fraction of less than 30% congenital heart disease, a contraindication to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), emergency surgery or re-do surgeries severe renal or hepatic disease , coagulopathy, and thromboembolic disease treated with anticoagulants

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
mean arterial pressurechange in mean arterial pressure is recorded 10 minutes after milrinone administration after induction (T1), at the end of nebulization (T2), before cardiopulmonary bypass (T3) and after cardiopulmonary bypass(T4)The effect of inhaled milrinone on mean arterial pressure is compared with the effect of intravenous milrinone

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
systemic vascular resistancechange in systemic vascular resistance 10 minutes after milrinone administrationThe effect of inhaled milrinone on mean pulmonary pressure is compared with the effect of intravenous milrinone
mean pulmonary arterial pressurechange in mean pulmonary arterial pressure 10 minutes after milrinone administrationThe effect of inhaled milrinone on mean pulmonary pressure is compared with the effect of intravenous milrinone
pulmonary vascular resistancechange in pulmonary vascular resistance 10 minutes after milrinone administrationThe effect of inhaled milrinone on mean pulmonary pressure is compared with the effect of intravenous milrinone
