Perioperative supplemental oxygen and NT-proBNP concentrations after major abdominal surgery – A prospective randomized clinical trial - 14/06/21
Abstract |
Study objective |
Supplemental oxygen is a simple method to improve arterial oxygen saturation and might therefore improve myocardial oxygenation. Thus, we tested whether intraoperative supplemental oxygen reduces the risk of impaired cardiac function diagnosed with NT-proBNP and myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) diagnosed with high-sensitivity Troponin T.
Design |
Parallel-arm double-blinded single-centre superiority randomized trial.
Setting |
Operating room and postoperative recovery area.
Patients |
260 patients over the age of 45 years at-risk for cardiovascular complications undergoing major abdominal surgery.
Intervention |
Administration of 80% versus 30% oxygen throughout surgery and for the first two postoperative hours.
Measurements |
The primary outcome was the postoperative maximum NT-proBNP concentration in both groups, which was assessed within 2 h after surgery, and on the first and third postoperative day. The secondary outcome was the incidence of MINS in both groups.
Main results |
128 patients received 80% oxygen and 130 received 30% oxygen throughout surgery and for the first two postoperative hours. There was no significant difference in the median postoperative maximum NT-proBNP concentration between the 80% and the 30% oxygen group (989 pg.mL−1 [IQR 499; 2005] and 810 pg.mL−1 [IQR 409; 2386], effect estimate: 159 pg.mL−1, 95%CI -123, 431, p = 0.704). There was no difference in the incidence of MINS between both groups. (p = 0.703).
Conclusions |
There was no beneficial effect of perioperative supplemental oxygen administration on postoperative NT-proBNP concentration and MINS. It seems likely that supplemental oxygen has no effect on the release of NT-proBNP in patients at-risk for cardiovascular complications undergoing major abdominal surgery.
Trial registration |
