This study aims to investigate the effects of normoxemia and hyperoxia on cardiac function in anesthetized stable chronic CAD patients. By using TEE to assess myocardial strain, early changes in cardiac function can be promptly measured, helping anesthesiologists to better tailor oxygen therapy for patients undergoing general anesthesia with CAD.
Background: Supplemental oxygen (O-2) is used routinely during anesthesia. In the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, it has been established that hyperoxia is to be avoided, whereas information on benefit and risk of hyperoxia in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) remain scarce, especially in the setting of general anesthesia. This study will compare the immediate effects of normoxemia and hyperoxia on cardiac function, with a primary focus on changes in peak longitudinal left-ventricular strain, in anesthetized stable chronic CAD patients using peri-operative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods: A single-center randomized cross-over clinical trial will be conducted, enrolling 106 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery. After the induction of anesthesia and prior to the start of surgery, cardiac function will be assessed by 2D and 3D TEE. Images will be acquired at two different oxygen states for each patient in randomized order. The fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) will be titrated to a normoxemic state (oxygen saturation of 95-98%) and adjusted to a hyperoxic state (FIO2 = 0.8). TEE images will be analyzed in a blinded manner for standard cardiac function and strain parameters. Conclusion: By using myocardial strain assessed by TEE, early and subtle signs of biventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction can be promptly measured intraoperatively prior to the onset of severe signs of ischemia. The results may help anesthesiologists to better understand the effects of FIO2 on cardiac function and potentially tailor oxygen therapy to patients with CAD undergoing general anesthesia.
