Trial summary

Clinical oedema is seen after open heart surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia in children. The oedema formation is due to increased fluid transport from blood to tissue. This transcapillary fluid transport is dependent on differences in interstitial and plasma colloid osmotic pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

Clinical oedema is seen after open heart surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia in children. The oedema formation is due to increased fluid transport from blood to tissue. This transcapillary fluid transport is dependent on differences in interstitial and plasma colloid osmotic pressure. The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate changes in interstitial colloid osmotic pressure before, under and after the use of cardiopulmonary bypass in children. The study hypothesis is that oedema developed during cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia is caused by increased micro vascular protein leakage and reduced colloid osmotic pressure gradient through the capillary membrane.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Defects, Congenital, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 1 Jul 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 Norway. 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?

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure (time frame: Before, during and after surgery). 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 1 Jul 2014.
