Monitoring system to predict kidney injury after heart surgery

A Monitoring System Based on the Multifactorial Dynamic Perfusion Index to Predict and Prevent the Onset of Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery, Based on a Dynamic Collection of Hemodynamic and Clinical Parameters During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Observational IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato · NCT06786416

This study is testing a new monitoring system to see if it can help predict and prevent kidney injury in adults and infants undergoing heart surgery.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to validate a predictive algorithm called the Multifactorial Dynamic Perfusion Index (MDPI) that assesses the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The study will involve 800 adult patients and 200 infants, collecting dynamic hemodynamic and clinical parameters during surgery to enhance the predictive accuracy of the MDPI. The goal is to develop a monitoring tool that allows for real-time adjustments during surgery to potentially prevent kidney injury. The study is structured into three work packages focusing on validation, development for infants, and exploration of additional outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 18 and infants under 6 years old weighing less than 20 kg who are scheduled for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Not a fit: Patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis or those undergoing emergency surgery may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, improving postoperative outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While there are existing risk scores for acute kidney injury, this approach utilizing dynamic intraoperative variables is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in similar studies.
