Trial summary

Although data on cardioprotective effects (as profile of troponin I)of perioperative maintenance of normothermia during CABGs are already known, little is known about the effects of maintaining normothermia on clinical outcomes of patients submitted to coronary surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: To Examine the Effects on Patients Outcomes of Maintaining Body Core Temperature During CABGs With Thermowrap

Although data on cardioprotective effects (as profile of troponin I)of perioperative maintenance of normothermia during CABGs are already known, little is known about the effects of maintaining normothermia on clinical outcomes of patients submitted to coronary surgery. Being acute renal failure (ARF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) the two most frequent complications of this surgery, this study compare as primary end point the rate of postoperative ARF and AF in two group of patients, one actively warmed with Thermowrap and the control group receiving standard institutional care.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Allon Thermowrap. MTRE Advanced Technologies Ltd.Device

    Thermowrap set at 37 °C before induction of anesthesia and maintained until initiation of CPB; during CPB set to "monitoring" and set again to 37 °C from rewarming during CPB to end of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Allon Thermowrap. MTRE Advanced Technologies Ltd. in people with Anesthesia and Hypothermia, run by Centro Cardiologico Monzino at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of atrial fibrillation (time frame: First 48 postoperative hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00791050, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2008.
