Despite current resuscitation strategies, circulatory shock and organ injury after cardiac surgery still occur. The MicroRESUS study aims to measure microcirculatory and mitochondrial function in patients with circulatory shock and link these findings with clinical outcomes.
Background Despite current resuscitation strategies, circulatory shock and organ injury after cardiac surgery occur in 25-40% of patients. Goal-directed resuscitation after cardiac surgery has generated significant interest, but clinical practice to normalize hemodynamic variables including mean arterial pressure, cardiac filling pressures, and cardiac output may not reverse microcirculation abnormalities and do not address cellular dysoxia. Recent advances in technology have made it possible to measure critical components of oxygen delivery and oxygen utilization systems in live human tissues and blood cells. The MicroRESUS study will be the first study to measure microcirculatory and mitochondrial function in patients with circulatory shock and link these findings with clinical outcomes. Methods and analysis This will be a prospective, observational study that includes patients undergoing elective cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Microcirculation will be quantified with sublingual incident dark field videomicroscopy. Mitochondrial respiration will be measured by performing a substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titration protocol with high resolution respirometry on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at baseline and serial timepoints during resuscitation and at recovery as a possible liquid biomarker. Plasma samples will be preserved for future analysis to examine endothelial injury and other mechanisms of microcirculatory dysfunction. Thirty-day ventilator and vasopressor-free days (VVFDs) will be measured as a primary outcome, along with sequential organ failure assessment scores, and other clinical parameters to determine if changes in microcirculation and mitochondrial respiration are more strongly associated with clinical outcomes compared to traditional resuscitation targets. Discussion This will be the first prospective study to examine both microcirculatory and mitochondrial function in human patients with circulatory shock undergoing cardiac bypass and address a key mechanistic knowledge gap in the cardiovascular literature. The results of this study will direct future research efforts and therapeutic development for patients with shock.
