Brief summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized clinical trials.

Detailed description

Prospective randomized multi-center trial involving about 502 subjects will be enrolled in 3 centers. Patients will be randomized to two groups in equal proportion. Investigators set a hypothesis that precision cardiac anesthesia, which involves the modification of several crucial anesthetic modalities, would reduces the incidence of postoperative cognitive function and delirium in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDUREPrecision cardiac anesthesia

Aperi-operative anesthetic management through target-controlled infusion to accurately control the patient blood concentration, with combination of bispectral index and neuromuscular monitoring to adjust the dosage of general anesthetics.

PROCEDUREConventional cardiac anesthesia

The anesthesia strategy is mainly depending on the anesthesiologist's clinical experience

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of postoperative deliriumPostoperative day 1 to 5Delirium assessed by using Confusion Assessment Method-ICU (CAM-ICU) in the postoperative period

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative painPostoperative day 1 to 5, at 1,6 and 12 months after surgeryAssessed by NRS (from 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome)
CRPBefore surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h after surgeryBlood Biomarker (CRP)
S-100β proteinBefore surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h after surgeryBlood Biomarker (S-100β protein)
GenotypeBefore surgeryNumber of participants with target gene
Postoperative cognitive functionIn hospital,up to 10 days, at 1,6 and 12 months after surgeryAssessed by MoCA (score range from 0 to 30, higher scores mean a better outcome) or MMSE (score range from 0 to 30, higher scores mean a better outcome)
Ventilation timeup to 1 month after surgeryMechanical ventilation time after surgery
Length of stayup to 2 months after surgeryLength of hospital and ICU stay
Costup to 2 months after surgeryhealth care costs of hospital and ICU
PONVPostoperative day 1 to 5To quantify postoperative nausea and vomiting the following score was used: 0 = no nausea, 1 = nausea, 2 = retching, 3 = single vomiting, 4 = multiple vomiting.
IL-6, IL-8, IL-10Before surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h,after surgeryInflammatory factor (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10)
TNF-αBefore surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1(POD1 )morning, 24h after surgeryInflammatory factor (TNF-α)
IGF-1Before surgery, 6h, postoperative day 1 (POD1) morning, 24h after surgeryBlood Biomarker (IGF-1)

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient's life qualityAt 1,3 and 12 months after surgeryQuality of life was assessed by SF-36. A self-administered 36-item question- naire covering eight different domains: physical functioning, physical role functioning, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role functioning, and mental health. Raw points are transformed into a score from 0 to 100 for each dimension, with 100 reflecting the best possible health-related quality of life.
Rate of mortalityIn hospital,up to 10 days, at 1,3 and 12 months after surgeryAll-cause mortality
Rate of postoperative complicationsIn hospital,up to 10 days, at 1,3 and 12 months after surgeryPostoperative main complications
