Trial summary

Transfusion of washed intra-operative cell salvage post-operatively in the PCICU can be performed safely without increased risk of bleeding or release of inflammatory mediators. This will reduce the need for allogeneic blood products as well as crystalloid and colloid infusions and thus decrease the length of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Post-operative Infusion of Intra-operative Cell Salvage Reduces Allogeneic Blood Product Transfusions and Volume Resuscitation in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Improves Clinical Outcomes

Transfusion of washed intra-operative cell salvage post-operatively in the PCICU can be performed safely without increased risk of bleeding or release of inflammatory mediators. This will reduce the need for allogeneic blood products as well as crystalloid and colloid infusions and thus decrease the length of ventilation and intensive care duration for these infants.

What participants receive

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

  • Cell Saver RBCsOther

    Use of cell saver RBCs to decrease the infusion of allogeneic PRBCs, crystalloid, and colloid in post-operative infants following CPB as needed for hemodynamic instability

  • Conventional volume infusionOther

    Infusion of allogeneic PRBCs, crystalloid, and colloid as needed for hemodynamic instability

Study groups in NCT01211366
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Conventional TransfusionActive comparatorInfants will receive PRBCs, crystalloid, and colloid for hemodynamic instability per the usual routine at the discretion of the attending intensive care physician
Receives: Other: Conventional volume infusion
Cell SaverExperimentalInfants will receive washed cell-saver RBCs for hemodynamic instability in the first 24 hours post-operative period as long as Hgb is < 13 gm/dL and cell-saver is available.
Receives: Other: Cell Saver RBCs

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of volume of allogeneic blood products and crystalloid/colloid infusions between groups

    To compare the volume of allogeneic blood products and crystalloid/colloid infusions between patients randomized to receive washed intra-operative cell salvage vs our current standard for volume replacement for the first 24 hours post-op

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. comparison of bleeding, use of coagulant products, and inflammatory markers between groups

    To compare measures of bleeding (MT drainage, Hgb, platelet counts) , the use of coagulant products (FFP, platelets, cryoprecipitate) and inflammatory/immunomodulatory markers [C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6/IL-10 ratio]between patients randomized to receive washed intra-operative cell salvage vs our current standard of care for volume replacement.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. comparison of clinical outcomes between groups

    To compare clinical outcome measures (ventilator days, PCICU duration, thrombosis, bacterial infections and mortality) between patients randomized to receive washed intra-operative cell salvage vs our current standard of care for volume replacement.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cell Saver RBCs and Conventional volume infusion in people with Transfusion, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2012. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Comparison of volume of allogeneic blood products and crystalloid/colloid infusions between groups (time frame: 2 years). 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 13 Feb 2012.
