About this trial

Cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a high incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs; 10% to 30% incidence). Ranging from atelectasis to acute respiratory syndrome, PPCs are associated with increased hospital length of stay and mortality. Cardiac surgery with CPB induces a complex pathophysiological response characterized by ischemia-reperfusion, activation of the contact system and hypoventilation. The individual immune and inflammatory response may contribute to the development of PPCs. Exploring the association between immuno-inflammatory response and post-operative clinical outcomes might enable a better understanding of the mechanism associated with PPCs and contribute to a more personalized approach to patient care.

This prospective observational cohort study will enroll 100 adult patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with CPB.

The primary objective of this research is to investigate the association between the perioperative immuno-inflammatory profile and the occurrence of PPCs within the first seven days following cardiac surgery under CPB.

To identify these profiles, blood and bronchoalveolar lavage samples will be collected at 5 (T0 -T4) and 2 (T0-T1) different times respectively.

Multiple biological analyses (RNA single cell, proteomics, flow cytometry, cell culture experiments) will be performed to characterize the immune and inflammatory response to the surgery.

PPCs are defined as atelectasis associated with hypoxemia (PaO2/FiO2 \< 200), pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The study hypothesis is that patients who develop PPCs have a different immune and inflammatory response to cardiac surgery with CPB.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Blood sample collection

    Other intervention

    Blood samples will be collected on Day 0 (the day of the procedure), Day 1, and Day 2, using the arterial catheter placed as part of routine care.

  • Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collection

    Other intervention

    Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collection will be performed on Day 0: * 1 BAL under general anesthesia after induction of anesthesia and before the start of the surgical procedure * 1 BAL under general anesthesia after the surgical procedure, upon arrival in the intensive care unit (4 hours after aortic clamping is released)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Differential gene expression (log2 fold change) and pathway enrichment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells measured by single-cell RNA sequencing.

Transcriptomic profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in relation to the development of postoperative respiratory complications following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) harvested before and after surgery will be analyzed using a commercially available single-cell RNA sequencing platform. Differential expression of immune-related genes and transcriptional pathways (log2 FC) will be compared between groups.

Time frame
Day 0 (preoperative) - day 1 - day 2

Secondary outcomes

1

Plasma concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers.

Plasma concentrations (relative log2-scaled units) of inflammatory cytokines and biomarkers of epithelial and endothelial injury will be measured using an Olink proteomic platform, and compared between groups.

Time frame
Day 0 (preoperative and postoperative) - day 1 - day 2
2

Bronchoalveolar lavage concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers

Inflammatory biomarker concentrations in BAL will be quantified (pg/mL), using commercially available multiplex immunoassays, and compared between groups.

Time frame
Day 0 - preoperative and postoperative
3

Phenotype of blood and bronchoalveolar leukocyte populations measured by flow cytometry .

Blood and bronchoalveolar leukocytes populations will be characterized using commercially available flow cytometry panels. The phenotype and activation status (percentage, absolute counts and median fluorescence intensity) of neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes and alveolar macrophage will be quantified and compared between groups.

Time frame
Day 0 (preoperative and postoperative) - day 1 - day 2
4

Expression levels of Hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha and its signaling pathway, compared between groups.

Time frame
Day 0 (preoperative and postoperative) - day 1 - day 2
