NCT ID:
NCT06917859
Brief Summary:
The aim of the planned study is to assess the prophylactic effect of intraoperative administration of a single dose of methylprednisolone 2 (mg/kg) in decreasing the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury after cardiac surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Detailed Description:
Patients undergoing any type of elective cardiac surgical procedure requiring CPB will be randomly assigned into one of the following groups
1. Placebo group / Control group will receives normal saline as a placebo after the induction of anesthesia and before initiating CPB.
2. Methylprednisolone group / Interventional group receives a single intra-venous dose of methylprednisolone (2 mg/kg) after the induction of anesthesia, and before the initiation of CPB.
Measurements:
Primary outcome:
Incidence of occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury for 7 days according to the RIFLE criteria.
Secondary outcome:
1. Incidence of postoperatively hyperglycemia (blood glucose level of ≥ 140 mg/dl) for 7 days,
2. Duration of ICU stay,
3. Length of hospital stay (LOS),
4. Incidence of wound infection,
5. Incidence of peptic ulcer,
6. Incidence of sepsis.
