Trial summary

Regardless of the development of cardiac surgery techniques and technologies, the question of an optimal extracorporeal circulation is still unanswered. There are globally accepted standards of perfusion, however, keep many of these procedures was not evidence-based review. Read more about this study

About this study

Regardless of the development of cardiac surgery techniques and technologies, the question of an optimal extracorporeal circulation is still unanswered. There are globally accepted standards of perfusion, however, keep many of these procedures was not evidence-based review.

Generally accepted are flow rates during cardiopulmonary bypasses of 2.5 L/min/m2. This target was derived from the physiological conditions, but they are not the result of an adapted adjustment to the fundamentally non-physiological processes during extracorporeal circulation. Among other things, an increased metabolic demand during re-perfusion is not taken into account.

An increasing and optimizing of the standard flow rate of 0.5 L/min/m2 should be the aim of this investigation. Under optimal perfusion, the investigators are maintaining the microcirculation and organ protection in receipt of endothelial function and oxygen transport.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Flow rate in people with Tissue Perfusion, run by Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 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 6 Aug 2014. 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 Germany. 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?

Contact Arndt H Kiessling, MD (+49696301 ext. 6705, arndt.kiessling@kgu.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Microcirulation (time frame: intraooperative). 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 6 Aug 2014.
