About this trial

Randomized, multi-site, study assessing the feasibility of lower limit of autoregulation targeted mean arterial pressure (MAP) vs. standard MAP management in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. After eligibility screening and consent, subjects will be randomized to either the intervention (study) or control group.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All neonates (<30 days of age)

Undergoing cardiothoracic surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass

Disqualifiers

Less than full term (<37 weeks gestation)

Weight < 2.50kg

Genetic abnormality or syndrome except heterotaxy syndrome

Major non-cardiac anomalies (e.g. congenital diaphragmatic hernia, - omphalocele, holoprosencephaly, anencephaly)

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Surgery with Active MAP Management

    Device

    Neonates undergoing cardiothoracic surgery (CT) utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) who will have active management of their mean arterial pressure (MAP) to keep the MAP above the LLA as measured by a novel autoregulation monitoring modality.

  • Surgery without Active MAP Management

    Other intervention

    Neonates undergoing cardiothoracic surgery (CT) utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) who will have management of their MAP by institutional practice without guidance from an autoregulation monitoring modality.

Treatment groups

130 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Intervention (Study) GroupExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Control GroupSham comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Aim 1: Hypotension Exposure

Primary outcome is to reduce hypotension exposure, defined as the product of duration and magnitude of arterial blood pressure below LLA measured in the operating room and for the first 72 hours in the ICU.

Time frame
From beginning of surgery until 72 hours post-surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Aim 2: Lower Limit Autoregulation Monitoring (LLA)

To determine LLA targeted MAP vs standard MAP management in real time will not increase perioperative mortality and morbidity in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB

Time frame
First 30 days post-surgery in the ICU

Other outcomes

1

Aim 3: Mean Arterial Pressure Management

Compare LLA targeted MAP vs standard of care MAP management in reducing white matter injury and seizure occurrence and improve neurodevelopment outcomes.

Time frame
Seizure assessment by EEG first 48 hours post-op, White matter injury assessment by Brain MRI 7-21 days post-op, neurodevelopmental outcome (neurobehavioral assessment at 30 days or at discharge by the NBO, Bayley-4 at 6 and 12 months).
