Levosimendan Versus Adrenaline in Patients With Low Left Ventricular Function Undergoing Elective On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. A Randomized Controlled Study

NCT05222256 NA COMPLETED

The aim of this study is to compare between levosimendan and adrenaline in patients with pre-existing impaired systolic function (EF 30-40%), undergoing elective on-pump CABG, as regards hemodynamics and echocardiographic parameters.

Conditions

• Open Heart Surgery

Interventions

• Levosimendan
• Adrenaline

Primary outcomes

• Systolic function (EF) will be measured in both groups Levosemindan and Adrenaline in patients with low ejection fraction (30-40%), undergoing elective on pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG). — 24 hour
  transesophageal echo (TEE) will be continuously used to monitor LV systolic and diastolic function during surgery and recordings will be made simultaneously with hemodynamic measurements. LV Ejection Fraction In the transgastric mid-papillary view, the echo machine will be switched to M-mode and the following measurements will be taken: o LV end-diastolic diameter o LV end-systolic diameter The machine will then calculate the LV ejection fraction according to Teich's method
