Scientific titleImpact of N-acetylcystein and sodium bicarbonate administration on the prevention of contrast media-induced nephropathy in endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. A prospective, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.
Study acronymNACASRI
Study objectivesThe hypothesis underlying this trial is that perioperative intravenous hydration with sodium bicarbonate with perioperative administration of N-Acetylcystein can reduce the incidence of post operative renal failure by 30%, by reducing the incidence of contrast media-induced nephropathy.
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Research Ethics Committee of CHUM (Comité d'éthique de la recherche du Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal [CHUM]), Canada on December 18th 2008 (ref: 08.110)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAortic surgery. Renal failure.
InterventionPatients will be randomly allocated, according to a computer-generated list, to one of two groups:
A. Group NB (N-acetylcystein plus sodium bicarbonate)
B. Group S (N-acetylcystein plus Saline).

1. Fifteen minutes before the induction of general anaesthesia, on the day of the surgery, patients in both groups will receive 150 mg/kg IV N-Acetylcystein diluted in 500 ml of normal saline.
2. N-Acetylcystein 1200 mg PO will be given again at 9:00 PM the evening of the surgery and will be given twice (BID) for the first post operative day. It will then be discontinued.
3. Also, one hour prior to the injection of contrast media, which means at the time of induction of general anesthesia, patients in group NS will receive an infusion of sodium bicarbonates (154 MEq/L sodium bicarbonates diluted in 1L of Dextrose 5% in water) at the rate of 3 ml/kg/h, for one hour. This infusion will be continued in these patients at the rate of 1 ml/kg/h for the entire duration of the surgery, until 6 hours post operatively, after which it will be stopped. Patients in group S will receive, at the same infusion rate, a placebo (normal saline).
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. the incidence of post operative renal failure;
2. the incidence of post operative renal failure requiring dialysis in the first 30 days following surgery;
Secondary outcome measuresThe 30-day mortality of patients who had such a surgery.
