Project Details

MINS Study: Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery sub-study of the VAPOR-C Trial

Hypothesis and aims

We hypothesise that the use of intraoperative intravenous lidocaine infusion during major surgery will reduce the incidence of MINS compared to placebo.

Primary aim:
1) To compare the incidence of MINS with the use of intraoperative intravenous lidocaine to placebo.

Endpoint definition: MINS will be defined as a Troponin level (Troponin I or Troponin T) greater than the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit, in accordance with the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction [24].

Secondary aim:
1) To measure the association between perioperative inflammatory changes, troponin rise, MINS and postoperative outcomes.

Endpoints: length of stay (days); postoperative complications and mortality at 30 days and 1 year. Perioperative inflammatory change will be measured by perioperative change in C-Reactive Protein (CRP), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and inflammatory cytokines.

Study population

Participants recruited to the VAPOR-C Trial will be eligible for inclusion in the MINS Study and approached for recruitment.
