Perioperative usefulness of Samtus

Basic Information

Recruitment status Recruiting
Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studiedPatient after cardiovascular surgery for congenital heart disease
Date of first enrollment02/06/2023
Target sample size32
Countries of recruitment
Study typeInterventional
Intervention(s)Dissolve 8 mg or 16 mg of sodium tolvaptan phosphate (SAMTAS) for intravenous infusion in 4 mL of saline or 5% glucose solution and further dilute the dissolved drug with 50 mL of saline or 5% glucose solution before use. When used, the drug should be administered intravenously over 1 hour once a day (not as a rapid intravenous infusion (bolus)). As a rule, the treatment period is 7 days (maximum 14 days). The initial starting dose is 0.2 mg/kg/day, and the physician will assess efficacy on a daily basis. If an increase in dose is deemed necessary, the dose should be increased by 0.1 mg/kg/day (maximum 0.3 mg/kg/day). On the other hand, if a dose reduction is necessary due to the appearance of dehydration that worsens circulatory and respiratory kinetics, the dose should be reduced by 0.1 mg/kg/day.

Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeEffect of Samtas use on fluid retention (change in body weight and urine output (% change in urine output per kg body weight) from baseline (before Samtas administration) to last dose)
Secondary OutcomeA) Preoperative evaluation items 1) Basic patient background: age at surgery, gender, weight at surgery, height at surgery, underlying disease 2) Preoperative diuretic use, drug name and dosage, and history of cardiac surgery B) Intraoperative evaluation items 1) Name of surgery, presence or absence of emergency surgery 2) Intraoperative evaluation items: duration of surgery, duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, duration of aortic blockade, intraoperative fluid balance, and minimum rectal temperature C) Postoperative evaluation items 1) PF ratio during postoperative ventilator management (efficacy against heart failure judged as the percentage of improvement from baseline (before Samtas administration) to the last dose of Samtas), postoperative intubation (ventilator use) time, intensive care unit stay time, length of hospital stay, electrocardiographic changes 2) Postoperative urine output (per day), drainage volume (per day), fluid balance (per day), and central venous pressure (all four items were evaluated for each underlying disease and surgery) 3) Time of use and amount of Samtas, names and amounts of diuretics other than Samtas 4) Postoperative blood collection results: blood count (white blood cell count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, white blood cell fraction (neutrophil, eosinophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil, other)), coagulation (PT, APTT, fibrinogen), Na, K (Na and K should be determined within 24 hours after the start of Samtas treatment at least) BUN, Cre, eGFR, AST, ALT, gamma-GTP, t-bil, Alb, plasma AVP concentration, BNP concentration, renin activity (blood samples will be collected daily from the day following the start of treatment until the day following the end of treatment for about 1 week) 5) Number of postoperative observation days
