Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants, patients undergoing elective or urgent surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, will be randomised to 1 of 3 equal groups. The groups consist of a control group, a group receiving intravenous lidocaine (1.5mg/kg bolus followed by 2mg/kg/hr infusion) during their operation, a group receiving oral doxycycline (200mg tablet) in the holding bay 0-90mins prior to being brought into theatre.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
3 equal groups of 20 (totalling 60) will be written on paper concealed in opaque envelopes.
This will then be broken into 5 bundles of 12 (with 4 from each of the 3 treatment arms).
Envelopes within each bundle will then be shuffled repeatedly to ensure randomisation.

This technique is to facilitate interim analysis with equal numbers from each group represented.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Comparisons will be made using means paired analyses, computed with “PRISM” statistical software. Being a pilot we are in the hypothesis generating phase and have not performed power analysis.
It will be analysed using a "per protocol" approach.

Summary
Brief summary
Heart surgery is known to cause damage to the inner lining of blood vessels called the "endothelial glycocalyx". This damage can affect bleeding, swelling and inflammation which can harm organs and delay recovery after surgery. Damage to this layer can be measured using special blood tests. Currently there are no drugs used to protect this layer during surgery. Some experiments have shown the commonly used local anaesthetic "lidocaine" and the antibiotic "doxycycline" may be of benefit to protect this layer. We propose a project in which patients undergoing heart surgery are randomly allocated to receive one or other of the medicines or neither (a "control" group). Blood tests will indicate if these medicines have an effect on this layer. We hypothesise that lidocaine and or doxycycline may protect the endothelial glycocalyx during heart surgery.
