Task: Question Generation
Input (English): The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between intraoperative vasopressin infusion and postoperative cardiac enzymes.', 'A prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled study.', 'A single tertiary cardiac center.', 'One hundred consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery with or without cardiopulmonary bypass.', 'The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board, and patients provided informed consent to participate. Patients were randomized by computer into 2 equal groups: Vasopressin or control. The blinded study included vasopressin administered at a dose of 1.8 U/h or 1.8 mL/h of normal saline, along with catecholamines. The drug was administered continually during surgery while patients needed catecholamines. The intervention was discontinued upon admission to the intensive care unit when information regarding the true character of the drug was reported to the doctor in charge of patients in the intensive care unit by one of the investigators. Primary outcomes were CK-MB and troponin T levels measured at 0, 6, and 12 hours postoperatively.', 'Of the 100 patients, 8 were excluded; the remaining 92 were randomized to either the vasopressin (n = 47) or control (n = 45) group. There were no significant differences in demographic data between the groups. Postoperatively at 0, 6, and 12 hours, there were no differences in CK-MB (U/l) (37.5 ± 57.9 v 32.0 ± 21.5, 29.4 ± 41.1 v 24.4 ± 23.1, and 21.4 ± 21.3 v. 21.8 ± 32.4, respectively) and troponin T (752.4 ± 638.2 v 762.7 ± 557.1, 753.8 ± 507.3 v 777.6 ± 515.0, and 774.6 ± 572.6 v 698.7 ± 540.2, respectively) values.
Output (English): Does vasopressin raise cardiac enzymes following cardiac surgery : a randomized double-blind clinical trial?
