Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A comparison of 2 different anaesthetic agents (propofol and sevoflurane) and their affect on cardioprotection in non insulin diabetic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. 2 groups of 20 patients each will be randomised to receive either propofol or sevoflurane to maintain general anaesthesia whilst on cardiopulmonary bypass. Anaesthesia leading up to bypass will be the same in each group. At 15 minutes post separation from bypass, both groups will receive sevoflurane anaesthesia alone. Otherwise, management will be as per normal for coronary artery bypass patients.

Summary
Brief summary
Diabetic patients will be randomised to receive one of two commonly used anaesthetic drugs to maintain general anaesthesia whilst on cardiopulmonary bypass. We will be investigating which one offers better cardioprotection as determined by measuring an enzyme called cardiac troponin i. This enzyme is commonly measured to detect whther a myocardial infarction "heart attack" has occurred.
