Official title

Pre-operative Intra-nasal Dexmedetomidine or Insulin for Prevention of Early Post-operative Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. A Comparative Randomized Bi-centric Study

Overview

On pump coronary revascularization is a very common leading cause for post-operative cognitive dysfunction regarding patient age grouping and diffuse systemic inflammatory response induced by bypass machine . Many factors are incriminated as pre-operative sleep disturbance, previous history of neurocognitive dysfunction. The accumulating evidence refers to an incidence between 20-40% with majority among geriatric population. The primary pathology is still elusive and many trials are under evaluation. Neuro-inflammation, hypo perfusion, fat emboli and reperfusion injury are among the most postulative aetiologias. The corner stone in the pathology of postoperative cognitive dysfunction is abnormal sleep rhythm. Intra-nasal insulin can provide neuroprotection via providing insulin growth factor and obtund neuronal apoptosis , while dexmedetomidine can antagonize neural-degeneration via regulation of systematic inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and NF-κB, inhibiting the expressions of Toll-like receptor , and through α2 adrenoceptor-mediated anti-inflammatory pathways

Interventions

  • Drug intranasal saline group
    3 ml of saline 0.9 % twice daily for 2 days preoperatively at fixed time ( 9 am and 6 pm)
  • Drug intranasal insulin
    20 IU of regular insulin on 3 ml saline 0.9% twice daily for 2 days preoperative via mucosal atomization device at fixed times ( 9 am, 6 pm)
  • Drug Intranasal dexmedetomidine
    1.5 mic/kg on 3 ml saline 0.9% twice daily for 2 days preoperative via mucosal atomization device at fixed times ( 9 am, 6 pm)

Primary outcome measures

  • Mini mental state examination [Time frame: PREOPERATIVE, 1,3,5, 7 days , on hospital discharge (up to 3 weeks post operative) AND 3 months post operative]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
  • Time for extubation [Time frame: 6 hours]
  • ICU stay [Time frame: one week]
  • serum glucose [Time frame: 1 day before surgery, at time of surgery, during bypass, 30 minutes after bypass at ICU admission, first day, second , third]
  • Serum troponin [Time frame: preoperative, on admission, 1, 3 days, 5 days]
  • procedure related complication [Time frame: 3 days]
