Study aim
-
In case of proving the protective, preserving and increasing antioxidant effect and countering the negative effects of N-acetylcysteine free radicals, a more appropriate strategy can be adopted to reduce the complications of ischemia and reperfusion.
-
Design
-
Patients are divided into two groups of 30 based on randomized block size 4. A list of how patients are crashed into a closed envelope is provided to the researcher and patients are assigned to each of the intervention and control groups before the aortic clamp is opened, performed by the researcher.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This research is a randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial to investigate the protective effect of adding N-acetylcysteine to Del Nido's cardioplegia solution in patients undergoing elective open heart surgery, including coronary artery procedures, in Shahid Rajaei's operating room.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
No history of heart surgery, Left ventricular ejection fraction greater than 30% Hemoglobin above 10 milligram per deciliter No kidney or liver dysfunction Lack of impaired lung function tests
-
Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group, the amount of 50 mg/kg N-acetylcysteine will be injected in Del Nido's cardioplegia solution. The control group will only receive Del Nido Rutin cardioplegia solution. During surgery, moderate hypothermia (32-34°C) will be induced and mean arterial pressure will be maintained at 50-80 mm Hg.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Determining and comparing the mean ejection fraction Determining and comparing the mean level of cardiac enzymes (troponin, creatine kinase-MB, lactate dehydrogenase) Determining and comparing the mean level of malonyldialdehyde as the main biomarker of oxidative stress, glutathione peroxidase enzyme level before and after open Aortic clamping
