Scientific titlePropofol cardioprotection during ischaemia-reperfusion to preserve myocardial function: an interventional randomised efficacy study
Study acronymPRO-TECT II
Study objectivesElevated oxidant stress may occur during myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion, influencing release and action of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), which inhibits cardioprotective endothelial NOS (eNOS), enhances endothelin-1 (ET-1) formation, and promotes the conversion of nitric oxide to cardiotoxic peroxynitrite. These factors cause cardiac dysfunction. Effective antioxidant intervention during ischaemia-reperfusion will preserve myocardial function.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardioprotection for type II diabetics
Intervention1. Experimental - propofol cardioprotection:
Ten minutes prior to initiation of CPB, we will stop delivery of isoflurane, inject 1 mg/kg intravenous (iv) and then continuously infuse propofol at 120 µg/kg/min iv until 15 minutes after release of the aortic cross clamp (reperfusion).

2. Experimental - volatile anaesthesia preconditioning:
Anaesthesia will be maintained using an inspired concentration of isoflurane between 0.5 - 2% before, during, and after CPB, without administration of propofol. For ten minutes prior to the initiation of CPB we will deliver Isoflurane 2.5% end tidal then resume maintenance anaesthesia as described.

Total duration of treatment and follow up is currently up to 30 days post-operatively at the current time.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Propofol
Primary outcome measurePeri-operative plasma 15 f2t isoprostane, a biologically active marker of oxidative stress. Timeframe: 24 hours post-operation.
Secondary outcome measuresBiochemical outcomes:
1. Plasma total antioxidant concentration
2. Systemic and coronary sinus levels of troponin I, ET-1, TNF-a, and peroxynitrite formation in blood
3. Gene and protein expression of inducible NOS (iNOS) and eNOS
4. Protein expression of Akt and its activation
5. Evidence of superoxide formation in atrial tissue

Clinical outcomes:
6. Incidence rate of low cardiac output syndrome during the first 6 hours after surgery
7. Incidence rate of inotropic support or intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation required for greater than 30 minutes duration to treat low cardiac output syndrome
8. Intensive care unit and hospital lengths of stay
