Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the use of Sugammadex will reduce time from reversal to extubation and improve other post extubation outcomes in Coronary artery bypass grafting patients. This study is a prospective, clinical interventional, randomized single blinded single-center design. The nurses in the cardiac intensive care unit will be blinded to treatment allocation (Group 1 or 2).

Detailed Description

Enhanced recovery pathways and early extubation of subjects undergoing cardiac procedures has now become mainstay, especially with the advent of minimally invasive procedures .

To facilitate optimal recovery after extubation; muscle strength is vital to prevent reintubation, improved deglutition and quicker transition to lower oxygen requirements, and better respiratory and cardiac hemodynamics. It also expedites de-escalation of acuity of care. Several studies have shown residual muscle weakness after full reversal with neostigmine and glycopyrrolate. Sugammadex is a direct reversal agent and can provide superior muscle strength, which optimizes respiratory function thereby preventing atelectasis, hypoxia and potentially avoiding reintubation.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Group One

Group 1: Intubation with rocuronium at 1.0-1.2 mg/kg (vitals maintained within 20% of baseline). Subjects may be re-dosed with rocuronium at 0.1-0.4 mg/kg during the procedure to maintain 1-2 twitches on TOF watch monitor reading recorded every 15 minutes. Group 1 (control) will receive reversal with neostigmine (0.04-0.07 mg/kg up to 5 mg maximal dosage) and glycopyrrolate (0.07-0.015mg/kg up to 1 mg maximal dosage).

Drug: Rocuronium
Intubation with Rocuronium 1.0-1.2 mg/kg (vitals maintained within 20% of baseline. Subjects may be re-dosed with rocuronium at 0.1-0.4 mg/kg during the procedure.

Drug: Neostigmine
Reversal with neostigmine (0.04-0.07 mg/kg up to 5 mg maximal dosage)

Drug: Glycopyrrolate

Active Comparator: Group Two

Group 2: Intubation with rocuronium at 1.0-1.2 mg/kg (vitals maintained within 20% of baseline). Subjects may be re-dosed with rocuronium at 0.1-0.4 mg/kg during the procedure to maintain 1-2 twitches on TOF watch monitor reading recorded every 15 minutes. Group 2 (treatment) will receive reversal with Sugammadex (2mg/kg).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Time to Extubation [at 0 minutes of study drug to 3 days after study drug administration]

    Time to extubation: West Virginia University Hospitals use an electronic medical record (EMR) to chart "procedure stop." The definition for "time to extubation" is from the time the investigators chart "procedure stop" to the time of "extubation".

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Heart rate [at 0 mintues to 2 hours after study drug administration]

    Heart rate post-reversal prior to extubation

  2. Blood Pressure [at 0 mintues to 2 hours after study drug administration]

    Blood pressure post-reversal prior to extubation, both systolic and diastolic

  3. Tidal Volume [between 30 minutes to 1 hour after extubation]

    Tidal volume post-reversal prior to extubation

  4. Peak Flow Rate [30-60 minutes post-extubation]

    Peak flow rate - measured by peak flow meter post-extubation at 30-60 mins

  5. Swallowing Capacity [30-60 minutes post-extubation]

    Swallowing capacity measured by Functional Dysphagia screen administered at 30 - 60 mins post extubation.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Oxygen Saturation [2 hours post-extubation every 15 minutes]

    Oxygen saturation post-extubation for subsequent 2 hours documented every 15 minutes

  2. Post-extubation Oxygen Requirements [2 hours post-extubation]

    Post-extubation Oxygen requirements in subsequent 2 hours

  3. Length of Stay cardiac intensive care unit [0 days after study drug to 100 days after study drug]

    Length of stay in the cardiac intensive care from onset of reversal drugs

  4. Reintubation Incidence [24 hours post-extubation]

    Reintubation incidence in the first 24 hours post-extubation

  5. Occurrence of Postoperative Respiratory Complications [0 hours after study drug to 24 hours after study drug]

    Postoperative respiratory complication

  6. Occurrence of Postoperative Cardiac Complications [from 0 hours after study drug to 2 hours after study drug]

    Postoperative cardiac complications.
