| 1 | Angiotensin II vs Norepinephrine in PAN-AKI allocation and interim analysis trial.
We will enroll approximately 1022 (up to 1222 patients based on the results of the interim analysis) adult patients scheduled for cardiac surgery (CABG surgery, valve surgery and combined CABG/valve surgery) with CPB who meet the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria, and will randomly assign them in a 1:1 ratio to receive either angiotensin II (intervention group) or norephinephrine (control group). Randomization will be stratified by site and type of surgical procedure (coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery, combined CABG/valve surgery).
