Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
It is estimated that up to 20 in 100 patients undergoing cardiac (heart) surgery have a pre-existing kidney impairment that is associated with an increased risk of death during or after the operation. Earlier studies have demonstrated that applying blood filtration (haemofiltration) within the first 48 hours after the operation halves the risk of death. The performance of the procedure two days after surgery may be too late to protect the patient's kidneys from further injury. The aim of this study is to investigate whether haemofiltration performed at the point when the patient is connected to the heart and lung bypass machine during surgery may be more beneficial.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 18 or over, undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and who have impaired kidney function.

What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated into two groups. The control group undergo on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery without haemofiltration. The intervention group undergo on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery with haemofiltration. Participants are followed after the operation to determine their kidney function and length of ICU stay.

Scientific titleThe impact of continuous haemofiltration with high volume fluid exchange during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery on the recovery of patients with impaired renal function - a pilot study
Study acronymFOBS (Filtration on Bypass Surgery)
Study objectivesWe hypothesise that intraoperative haemofiltration significantly reduces incidences of intensive care unit stay longer than 3 days for patient with preoperative impaired kidney undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Ethics approval(s)Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, Medical Research Ethics Committee (MREC), 09/06/2010
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPreoperative renal impairment; coronary heart disease; cardiac artery bypass graft surgery
InterventionPatients that fulfil inclusion and exclusion criteria will be fully informed about the study and asked to give consent for the study. They will be randomised into two study groups by a computer-generated programme:
1. Control group: Patients with estimated GFR <60 ml/min undergoing ON-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery without intraoperative haemofiltration
2. Intervention group: Patients with estimated GFR <60 ml/min undergoing ON-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery with intraoperative haemofiltration
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureIncidents of ICU stay >3 days for patients with renal impairment identified as an estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) <60 ml/min
Secondary outcome measures1. Clinical outcomes:
1.1. Composite of perioperative incidences:
1.1.1. Bleeding
1.1.2. Sepsis
1.1.3. Death
1.1.4. Arrhythmias
1.1.5. Stroke
1.1.6. Myocardial infarction
1.2. Need for postoperative continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) in the ICU and wards - Indications for requirement of postoperative continuous veno-venous haemofiltration must adhere to our strict NHS Trust criteria and guidelines.
1.3. Mechanical ventilation time
1.4. Hospital stay
1.5. eGFR at 6 weeks follow-up
2. Economic outcomes: Resource utilisation and costs associated with each of the two pilot arms such as:
2.1. ICU stay and hospital stay
2.2. Mechanical ventilation
2.3. Medications
2.4. Tests and procedures undertaken until the end of the follow-up period
