Trial summary

Heparinized solution has been used for maintenance of arterial catheter during perioperative period. Although the infused dose of heparin is very low, the investigators examine whether the heparin effect is remained or not in blood using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) analysis.

About this study

Official title: Influence by Heparinized Flush Solution of the Radial Artery Catheter: INTEM and HEPTEM Analysis.

Heparinized solution has been used for maintenance of arterial catheter during perioperative period. Although the infused dose of heparin is very low, the investigators examine whether the heparin effect is remained or not in blood using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. INTEM test

    INTEM is not an abbriviation. INTEM is one of the ROTEM test and it is an coagulation test name (such as prothrombin time test) using patient's whole blood. We put the blood sample of patinet into the machine, so the result comes out automatically. It will be checked twice at pre- and postopertive 30 minute and it'll be analyzed and compared.

    Measured: at 30 min before operation and 30 min after operation

  2. HEPTEM test

    HEPTEM is not an abbriviation. HEPTEM is one of the ROTEM test and it is an coagulation test name (such as prothrombin time test) using patient's whole blood. We put the blood sample of patinet into the machine, so the result comes out automatically. It will be checked twice at pre- and postopertive 30 minute and it'll be analyzed and compared.

    Measured: at 30 min before operation and 30 min after operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total infused units of heparin

    Measured: periond from starting operation to finishing operation (espected average of 5 hours).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Tumor and Spinal Stenosis, run by Seoul National University Bundang 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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

INTEM test (time frame: at 30 min before operation and 30 min after operation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Aug 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
