About this study

Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is part of our current protocol to decrease post-operative bleeding and homologous blood transfusions post cardiopulmonary bypass. Blood is drawn from our patients pre-bypass after obtaining the arterial line and administered back to the patient after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and reversal of heparin with protamine. In our practice we noticed some variability in the impact of ANH on postoperative bleeding; with some patients appearing to show more hemostasis after separation from CPB than others. This is a prospective study to find out if there is an optimal time period that guarantees the largest amount of functioning platelets and what is the best practice for drawing and storing of ANH to guarantee the largest amount of functioning platelets.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Platelet Aggregation as Measured Using Collagen-epinephrine (EPI)

    The membrane of the cartridges are coated with collagen and epinephrine (EPI) inducing a platelet plug to form which closes the aperture.

    Measured: Just prior to re-transfusion, assessed up to 5 minutes

  2. Time to Platelet Aggregation as Measured Using Collagen-Adenosine (ADP)

    The membrane of the cartridges are coated with collagen and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) inducing a platelet plug to form which closes the aperture.

    Measured: Just prior to re-transfusion, assessed up to 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgical Procedures, run by Aymen N Naguib at 1 site in United States.

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 31 Mar 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time to Platelet Aggregation as Measured Using Collagen-epinephrine (EPI) (time frame: Just prior to re-transfusion, assessed up to 5 minutes). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02060838, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Mar 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
