Scientific titleDoes mini-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) reduce cellular stress and inflammation compared with standard CPB?
Study objectivesIschaemia-reperfusion, mechanical trauma and other stimuli associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can lead to the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can enhance inflammatory activation via activation of NF-kB, p38 MAP kinase and other pathways. Given that CPB leads to ischaemia and mechanical stimulation of leucocytes, it is likely to induce ROS in leukocytes and other cell types.

Hypotheses:
1. CPB leads to rapid induction of ROS in leukocytes which is associated with early activation of pro-inflammatory signalling (e.g. p38 activation) and with delayed activation of anti-inflammatory/anti-oxidant mechanisms
2. Mini-CPB is associated with reduced ROS/pro-inflammatory activation in leucocytes and attenuated systemic inflammation compared to conventional CPB
Ethics approval(s)Brompton, Harefield and NHLI Research Ethics Committee, 24/07/2008, ref: 08/H0708/67. Amendment approved on 29/04/2010, ref: AM02.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Cardiovascular; Subtopic: Cardiovascular (all Subtopics); Disease: Cardiovascular
InterventionAll patients referred for primary elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) will be considered for inclusion within the clinical trial. Trial participants will be randomised into one of three different treatment groups:
1. Positive control group in whom standard CPB is used
2. Negative control group in whom CPB is not used at all ('off pump' group)
3. Investigative group in which the mini-CPB technique is used ('miniCPB' group)

Participants will be reviewed up until they are discharged from hospital. Intervention timings are as follows:

Blood tests:
1. Pre-op (baseline)
2. Post induction
3. Start of CPB
4. 15 minutes CPB
5. 30 minutes CPB
6. 45 minutes CPB
7. 60 minutes CPB
8. 2 hours CPB
9. 6 hours CPB
10. 24 hours CPB

Cantharadin blister tests:
1. Pre-op (baseline)
2. CPB 5 hours

Myocardial tissue sampling:
1. Start of CPB
2. Before end of CPB
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureBlood parameters of cellular stress - reactive oxygen species detection; p38 MAP kinase signalling
Secondary outcome measuresSupporting conventional markers of the inflammatory response will be measured including white cell count
