Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

About 6000 heart operations are performed in Sweden every year. A heart-lung machine is used almost exclusively in all heart operations. This machine fills the role of heart and lungs during surgery while the heart is stopped. The extra corporeal circuit (ECC) prime results in hemodilution, as assessed from the decrease in haematocrit, electrolyte concentration and total protein content. This hemodilution is an unavoidable consequence of the use of a heart-lung machine with nonblood ECC prime. The alteration of the patient´s blood volume and electrolytes is affected by the prime solution and can be maintained within normal limits. There are no clear recommendation regarding prime components and numerous prime solutions are in use worldwide.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of mannitol in heart-lung machine prime has an effect on electrolytes levels and osmolality when compared with patients who receive no Mannitol.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Diagnostic Test: Heart-lung machine primining solution which includes Mannitol
  • Diagnostic Test: Heart-lung machine primining solution which does not include Mannitol

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Mannitol Prime

This group will undergo cardiac surgery with heart-lung machine with priming solution of Ringer's acetate 1000 ml, Mannitol 200 ml, Heparin 10000 units and 80 mmol sodium.

Diagnostic Test: Heart-lung machine primining solution which includes Mannitol
This study group will undergo cardiopulmonary bypass with priming solution of Ringer's acetate 1000 ml, Mannitol 200 ml, Heparin 10000 units and 80 mmol sodium.

Active Comparator: NonMannitol Prime

This group will receive a priming solution of Ringer´s acetate 1200 ml, Heparin 10000 units and 80 mmol sodium.

Diagnostic Test: Heart-lung machine primining solution which does not include Mannitol
This study group will undergo cardiopulmonary bypass with priming solution of Ringer's acetate 1200 ml, Heparin 10000 units and 80 mmol sodium.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. osmolality [Measurements will be taken three minutes after administration of cardioplegia during cardiopulmonary bapass.]

    This study uses blood samples that are taken at predefined timepoints.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. urine outcome [Measurements will be taken during first 24 hours following cardiac surgery]

    Production of urine will be studed following cardiac operation
