Trial summary

It is advantageous to use 5% human albumin (HA) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), because preexposure of the synthetic surfaces of the CPB circuit to albumin decreases coagulopathy, platelet aggregation, immune responses. Read more about this study

About this study

It is advantageous to use 5% human albumin (HA) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), because preexposure of the synthetic surfaces of the CPB circuit to albumin decreases coagulopathy, platelet aggregation, immune responses. However the use of albumin is limited, because it is expensive and can rarely cause infection.

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) decreases clot strength and prolong clot formation. A recently developed 6% HES 130/0.4 is known to have fewer effects on hemostasis. However Schramlo AA et al. reported that short time infusion of HES 130/0.4 after cardiac surgery produced impairment in fibrin formation and clot strength in thromboelastometry tracings.

Coagulopathy is directly related to bleeding and massive postoperative bleeding increases the risk of reoperation. Therefore it is important to avoid administration of fluids that can inhibit homeostasis after CPB.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 6% HES 130/0.4 as a component of priming solution on coagulation compared to 5% HA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 as a priming solution on coagulation and blood loss following complex heart valve surgery: a comparison with 5% albumin

    The purspose of this study is to investigate the effect of 6% HES 130/0.4 as a component of priming solution on coagulation compared to 5% HA. Rotation thromboelastography (ROTEM) was performed before and 24 h after CPB. Hemoglobin, platelet count and transfusion requirement were assessed for 24 h postoperatively.

    Measured: upto 24hours after cardiopulmonary bypass

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 in people with Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by Yonsei University 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 1 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 19 Jul 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 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?

Effect of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 as a priming solution on coagulation and blood loss following complex heart valve surgery: a comparison with 5% albumin (time frame: upto 24hours after cardiopulmonary bypass). 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 19 Jul 2012.
