Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Increase in mean arterial pressure with intravenous noradrenaline infusion.
Noradrenaline will be infused through a central venous catheter at th enecessary dose to achieve and maintain a MAP 20 mmHg grater than baseline for 30 minutes while the patient is on cardiopulmonary bypass and for 2 hours after the patient is returned to ICU.

The noradrenaline infusion will then be decreased after such period and the patient returned to baseline levels.
This cross over will have no washout period.
After the noradrenaline infusion, patients will then be immediately crossed over to the standard care arm,
Intervention code [1] 269565 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Standard care.
This involves invasive monitoring of blood pressure, cardiac output and central venous pressure and administration of drugs and fluids to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 60-70 mmHg. This will occur during cardiopulmonary bypass in the period before and after the intervention.
Standard care will also be delivered after cardiopulmonary bypass in the period after cessation of intervention and will continue as clinically indicated thereafter.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 279815 0
Hepatic vein oxygen saturation.
This is measured by the insertion of curved catehter from the femoral vein guided by X-ray into the hepatic vein.
The catheter can be used to obtain blood form the hepatic vein which is the then taken to a blood gas machine, where arterial blood gases and oxygen saturation can be measured.
Timepoint [1] 279815 0
each 2 hours of intervention
Secondary outcome [1] 294502 0
Level of cytokines.

The blood levels of interleukin 6, interleukin-10 and tumour necrosis factor will be measured by ELISA techniques in blood obtained form the radial artery cannula and from the hepatic vein cannula.
