About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Effects of Colloid (HES 130/0.4) Versus Crystalloid (Ringer's Lactate) on Bleeding in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Primary CABG, Single Valve Repair/Replacement, or Combined Single Valve/CABG Surgery"

The overall aim of this study is to determine if there is a bleeding risk associated with the use of starch-containing fluids during cardiac surgery. The specific purpose of this study will be to examine, in a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled fashion, the effects of colloid (HES 130/0.4) vs. crystalloid (Ringer's Lactate) on bleeding in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery. The primary end point of this trial will be chest tube output at 24 hours. In addition, a range of secondary end points focusing on transfusion parameters, as well as other important end-organ outcomes, will be determined.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the effect of colloid (HES 130/0.4) administration on blood loss (as determined by chest tube drainage in the first 24 postoperative hours) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

    Measured: first 24 postoperative hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Transfusion requirements (RBC and other blood products) both at 24 hours and for duration of hospitalization

    Measured: first 24 postoperative hours

  2. Re-exploration for bleeding

    Measured: first 24 postoperative hours

  3. Total intravenous volume administration required in OR and during first 24 hours post-op hours.

    Measured: first 24 postoperative hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HES (130/0.4) and Ringer's Lactate in people with Bloodloss, run by St. Boniface Hospital.

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 16 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 3 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the effect of colloid (HES 130/0.4) administration on blood loss (as determined by chest tube drainage in the first 24 postoperative hours) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). (time frame: first 24 postoperative hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Dec 2008.
