Trial summary

Rapid infusion of red blood cells is known to result in the increase of plasma potassium. The researchers are trying to investigate the change in plasma potassium during rapid infusion of mixed blood components in the reservoir of the fluid management system (FMS) in liver transplant recipients.

About this study

Official title: Effect of Rapid Transfusion With FMS(Fluid Management System 2000®) on the Plasma Potassium Concentration in Adult Liver Transplantation Recipients)

Rapid infusion of red blood cells is known to result in the increase of plasma potassium. The researchers are trying to investigate the change in plasma potassium during rapid infusion of mixed blood components in the reservoir of the fluid management system (FMS) in liver transplant recipients.

Read the detailed description

FMS is a standard equipment to prepare for the massive bleeding during the liver transplant surgery. This device usually delivers a mixture of red blood cell (RBC), fresh frozen plasma and normal saline. Rapid infusion of RBC is known to result in the increase of potassium and the decrease of calcium in the plasma of the patient. However there is no report about the consequence of rapid transfusion of the blood mixture in the reservoir of the FMS, especially in the liver transplantation recipients. The primary end point of this study is to investigate the change in the plasma potassium and to assess the possibility of hyperkalemia and related morbidity. Changes of blood pH and plasma calcium will also be sought.

What participants receive

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

  • Fluid management system 2000 (FMS)Device

    The FMS has an integrated large volume (about 3000 ml) reservoir and delivers a blood mixture (4 unit RBC, 4 unit FFP and 800 ml normal saline) put in the reservoir at a maximum rate of 750 ml/min.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma potassium

    Four units of RBC, four units of FFP and 800 ml of normal saline are put into the FMS reservoir. Samplings of blood are made before, during and after the transfusion of 300 ml of blood mixture. Sites of blood samplings are the infusion line of the FMS and the arterial and central venous lines of the patient. This process is repeated 4 times in a patient. Acquired blood samples are immediately analyzed with a point of care test device (GEM Premier 3000). The result will be analyzed with appropriate statistics such as RMANOVA.

    Measured: Transfusion and sampling of blood are made intraoperatively, mainly during the period of hepatectomy. Overall time of data collection is usually within 4 hrs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fluid management system 2000 (FMS) in people with Liver Transplantation, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2013. 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 South Korea. 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?

Plasma potassium (time frame: Transfusion and sampling of blood are made intraoperatively, mainly during the period of hepatectomy. Overall time of data collection is usually within 4 hrs.). 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 16 Apr 2013.
