About this trial

The objective is to determine the effectiveness of pulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass to reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery. Investigators will also evaluate the safety and impact of pulsatile flow on clinical outcomes compared to non-pulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Able to provide informed consent

Scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass

Disqualifiers

Emergency procedures

Scheduled for heart or lung transplantation

Scheduled for ventricular assist device implantation

Use of the Medtronic Elongated Once-Piece Arterial Cannula

Trial design

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Non-pulsatile blood flow

    Other intervention
