Study Summary
This trial compares two drugs to maintain blood pressure during cardiac surgery. Primary outcome is kidney injury; secondary outcomes include mortality, stroke, etc.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 years old who are undergoing coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery, or both can join this trial. It's not for those with severe heart pump issues (ejection fraction <35%), significant lung blood pressure problems, certain heart muscle dysfunction, planned use of a radial artery in the surgery, or if they need to stop their circulation during the operation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is comparing two drugs—Vasopressin and Phenylephrine—to see which one is better at preventing kidney injury when used as the first choice drug to maintain blood pressure during and after heart surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from Vasopressin include chest pain, fast heartbeat, skin paleness while Phenylephrine may cause headache, high blood pressure, and reflex bradycardia (slowing down of the heart).
