Risk of Oxygen During Cardiac Surgery (ROCS) Trial

The investigators will recruit and randomize 200 elective cardiac surgery patients to receive
physiologic oxygenation (normoxia) or hyper-oxygenation (hyperoxia) during surgery to test
the hypothesis that intraoperative physiologic oxygenation decreases the generation of
reactive oxygen species, oxidative damage, and postoperative organ injury compared to
hyper-oxygenation.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Open-heart cardiac surgery, defined as surgery on the heart or aorta that requires
sternotomy or thoracotomy.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Current acute coronary syndrome (defined as ST elevation myocardial infarction or
non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (troponin leak within 72 hours of surgery or
consent +/- EKG changes consistent with myocardial ischemia)).

- Home supplemental oxygen use.

- Preoperative supplemental oxygen requirement to maintain arterial O2 sat of 92%.

- Right to left intracardiac shunt including atrial septal defect and ventricular septal
defect with Cor Pulmonale.

- Carotid stenosis defined as >50% stenosis.

- Cardiac surgery that requires intraoperative circulatory arrest, such as aortic arch
replacement.

- Current use of hemo- or peritoneal dialysis.

- Pregnancy
