  • They bleed excessively after surgery. Are excessive bleeding criteria: the debit ≥ 300ml drains in the first hour; ≥ 250ml in the second hour or ≥ 150ml at any later time. Consider that the patient is bleeding excessively when the drains debit is <150ml.

About this study

Official title: Indicación de transfusión de Hemoderivados en el Postoperatorio de cirugía Cardiaca Tras la implantación de un Sistema de monitorización de la coagulación a la Cabecera Del Paciente: Tromboelastometría Versus Protocolo Habitual de transfusión

Main objective:

Determine whether by introducing thromboelastograph, the investigators reduced the number of packed red cells received by each patient (median) compared to the usual protocol, in which the indication for transfusion is based on laboratory tests: Prothrombin time, time activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin, reptilase, fibrinogen and platelet contage.

Design:

Prospective randomized controlled trial and single blinded.

Disease or disorder under study:

Study of coagulopathy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Primary endpoint:

median transfusion of packed red blood cells per patient. Study population Male and female patients over 18 years undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass to bleed excessively.

Duration of treatment:

The coagulation monitoring methods tested are made from protamine administration to CEC output if a) the patient bleeds diffusely, or b) from arrival in the unit if not satisfied critics a) bleed excessively drains and until the patient stops bleeding (debit drains <a 150ml / h).

What participants receive

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

  • Group ROTEMProcedure or surgery

    10 min after administration of protamine, if there is a large diffuse microvascular bleeding or bleed excessively at the exit of surgery then will check an Intem, a Heptem a Extem and Fibtem.

    If any of the determinations altered and the patient leaves still bleeding apply the proposed treatment algorithm for Rotem. 10 minutes after each treatment will take the test again indicated that treatment, to ensure that the defect has been corrected.

  • Group COther

    10 min. after protamine administration, if there is a significant diffuse microvascular bleeding or when the patient departure from surgery if bleeds excessively will be a TCA and routed the following analytical results: prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, platelet count and fibrinogen.

    If any of the determinations altered and the patient still bleeding, apply the standard protocol of the unit. 10 minutes after each treatment was performed new laboratory tests to analyze the result.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Group ROTEM and Group C in people with Hemostatic Disorders, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau.

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 9 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low recruitment after the expected time to finish the study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

median transfusion of packed red cells per patient (time frame: 24 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 9 Aug 2013.
