Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The effect of an enhanced mixture of blood with cell membrane stabilizing agents called as Terminal 'Hot Shot' cardioplegia(THS) is studied. THS consists of
20% Mannitol 20 ml
2% Xylocaine 60mg
15% Magnesium Sulphate 500mg
8.4% Sodium Bicarbonate 20ml
Hot water 50ml
Patients own warm Blood at 37 degree celsius 400ml

500ml of THS at 37°C, is administered both in the saphenous vein grafts at 100ml/each and the rest is delivered in the aortic root via intraortic infusion, at the termination of coronary artery bypass grafting while the patient is on Cardiopulmonary Bypass machine. The whole process of administration took 5-6 minutes by the lead cardiac surgeon.
Adherence to intervention was documented in operative report.
Cold blood cardioplegia was administered after placing the patient on Cardiopulmonary Bypass machine to arrest the heart in all patients. After arresting the heart, aorta was cross clamped and grafting started. In approximately 60mins of arrest (stated by the mean Aortic cross clamp time) THS administration was started.
THS administration was done in the intervention group after the aortic cross clamp was removed after all the distal anastomosis was performed, prior to doing proximal anastomosis , while the patient was on CPB.

Diagnosis / Prognosis
Intervention code [2] 329124 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Composition of cold blood cardioplegia includes patients own blood with the following composition.
potassium, 21.5 mmol/L; magnesium, 18.2 mmol/L; calcium, 2.2 mmol/L; sodium, 145.1 mmol/L; procaine hydrochloride, 1.1 mmol/L; acetate, 6.5 mmol/L; chloride, 154.9 mmol/L; and hydrogen carbonate, 28.9 mmol/L (pH 7.4; temperature, 4°C – 8°C).
It was administered in the aortic root by the cardiac surgeon to arrest heart.
It was administered to the intervention group as well for the same purpose.
Operative report documented it's administration.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 338912 0
Troponin I levels
Timepoint [1] 338912 0
Blood sample collected after the patients heart achieved sinus rhythm.
Secondary outcome [1] 437890 0
Troponin I levels
Timepoint [1] 437890 0
Fifth postoperative day
Secondary outcome [2] 437891 0
Creatinine Kinase MB
Timepoint [2] 437891 0
Blood sample collected after the patient heart achieved sinus rhythm and at fifth postoperative day
Secondary outcome [3] 437892 0
Time to regain sinus rhythm after removing cross clamp on aorta
Timepoint [3] 437892 0
Since the aortic cross clamp is lifted to the time heart regained sinus rhythm
Secondary outcome [4] 437893 0
Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) time
Timepoint [4] 437893 0
Since the patient is placed on CPB till the time he is removed from CPB
Secondary outcome [5] 437894 0
Aortic cross clamp time
Timepoint [5] 437894 0
Since the time Aorta is cross clamped to the time cross clamp is removed
