Scientific titleQuantification of lipid and leukocyte filtration and the effects on cerebral and renal injury markers and pulmonary function during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Study objectivesThe hypothesis being tested is that the filtration of lipid emboli and activated leucocytes from the blood will result in lower levels of organ injury as seen by biochemical marker analysis.
Ethics approval(s)The Oxford Research Ethics Committee C, 25/06/2009, ref: 10/H0606/30
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardiopulmonary bypass
InterventionUse of the RemoweLL Oxygenator containing a lipid and leucocyte depleting filter against current standard oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. Concentration of lipid microemboli measured using light microscopy and Oil Red O staining before and after cardiopulmonary bypass compared to control
2. Percentage of activated leucocytes using flow cytometry marker CD11b before and after cardiopulmonary bypass compared to control
Secondary outcome measuresLevels of biochemical markers of organ injury, specifically
1. Brain (neuron-specific enolase [NSE])
2. Kidneys (Cystatin C and standard laboratory tests) and
3. Pulmonary function as measured by calculation of the respiratory index
Comparison between before and after results with trial and standard oxygenator.

Age groupAdult
Lower age limit18 Years
SexBoth
Target number of participants50 patients, 25 in each group
Key inclusion criteria1. Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study - any documented history of cognitive impairment will exclude the patient as this may have an effect on biochemical markers of cerebral injury

3. Patients undergoing elective Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery
4. Angiographically proven coronary artery stenosis
Key exclusion criteria1. Age less than 18 or more than 90 years old
2. Emergency CABG surgery
3. Previous CABG surgery
4. Gross haemodynamic instability:
4.1. Hypertension (systolic blood pressure >160mmHg)
4.2. Hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90mmHg)
4.3. Bradycardia (heart rate <60 beats/min)
5. Diabetes
6. Obesity (BMI >30)
7. Pre-operative heparin regime
8. Abnormal preoperative white cell count (<4 or >10x109 cells/L)
9. Renal failure (serum creatinine >150µmol/L)
