Trial summary

Total knee and hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis is performed on still broader indications even in elderly patients with previous or current medical conditions. Especially comorbidity like cardiovascular diseases and conditions with increased risk of bleeding or previous thrombo-embolic events are major challenges. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Autologous Blood Transfusion After Local Infiltration Analgesia With Ropivacaine in Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasty

Total knee and hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis is performed on still broader indications even in elderly patients with previous or current medical conditions. Especially comorbidity like cardiovascular diseases and conditions with increased risk of bleeding or previous thrombo-embolic events are major challenges.

To facilitate safe use of ropivacaine as an analgesic, information on the concentrations levels after autologous blood transfusion following local infiltration analgesia is very crucial. However, very limited data are available. To verify the safety of autologous blood transfusion, ropivacaine concentrations were studied in 52 patients undergoing either total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentrations of ropivacaine in serum

    Concentrations of ropivacaine in serum before and after autologous blood transfusion will be analyzed.

    Measured: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Analysis of ECG and pulse rate

    ECG, pulse rate and blood pressure will be analyzed in proportion to concentrations of serum before and after autologous blood transfusion

    Measured: 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Hip Arthroplasty and Total Knee Arthroplasty, run by Northern Orthopaedic Division, Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 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 10 Apr 2015. 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 Denmark. 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?

Concentrations of ropivacaine in serum (time frame: 6 hours). 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 10 Apr 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
