About this study

Official title: Comparison of Active Warming System and Conventional Passive Warming Care in Reducing Intraoperative Blood Loss for Patients Undergoing Major Surgery

This is a randomized, open label, parallel two arm, clinical study, which compare the Bair Hugger forced-air warming blanket and the conventional warming care practice in China on patients undergoing major surgery to determine the impact of maintaining normothermia on intraoperative blood loss, requirement for transfusion of packed red blood cells and the changes of coagulation function.

Read the detailed description

Each Investigator reviews the most current Instructions for Use for Bair Hugger Forced air Warming System to assess the contraindications, warnings, and precaution sections with respect to risks and benefits for treating potential patients.

60 patients will be enrolled preliminary in this clinical trial. Equal size of 30 patients were allocated randomly into interventional or control group.

Randomization will be performed after the patient has met all eligibility criteria, including the general inclusion or exclusion and the patient or legally authorized representative has signed an informed consent form prior to any study related procedure.

Prior to induction, patients in the interventional group were provided 15 to 30 minutes forced air warming using the Bair Hugger warming unit, either in the pre-anesthesia area or OR,which may add to the total heat content of the body helping to reduce the effects of redistribution temperature drop for procedures using a temperature management strategy. The Bair Hugger warming unit is placed on its highest temperature setting and will be adjusted by the investigator depending on temperature monitoring. Temperature will be measured in both groups by either Spot-On sensor and tympanic membrane thermometer.

Statistical analysis will be performed after the data of 30 cases (both groups) were available and the sample size will be re-estimated based on preliminary data analysis. Continuous variables will be summarized with mean, median, standard deviation, minimum and maximum, as applicable. Categorical variables will be summarized with frequency and percentage. Student t test will be used to compare means for continuous variables. A Chi square test or a Fisher's exact test will be used to compare proportions for categorical variables. Multiple regression will be performed to assess the risk ratios of patients developing hypothermia and will be expressed as an risk ratio along with a 95% confidence interval.

What is being measured

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

  1. Core Temperature and blood loss

    Monitor the changes of core temperature for whole perioperative period and the amount of blood loss were recorded

    Measured: intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Length of Stay in PACU

    Measured: 90 days after Hip replacement surgery and 30 days after other surgerys

  2. Length of Stay in Hospital

    Measured: 90 days after Hip replacement surgery and 30 days after other surgerys

  3. Length of Stay in ICU

    Measured: 90 days after Hip replacement surgery and 30 days after other surgerys

  4. Surgical Site Infection(SSI)

    Measured: 90 days after Hip replacement surgery and 30 days after other surgerys

  5. coagulation function

    take blood sample to detect the coagulation function,including Prothrombin time,Active Partial Thromboplastin Time,International normalized Ratio,Thromboelastography,Hemoglobin,ect.

    Measured: perioperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bair Hugger forced air warming system in people with Hypothermia and Blood Loss,, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 16 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2014. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hao Liang (+86 13391994260, 805582814@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Core Temperature and blood loss (time frame: intraoperative). 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 NCT02214524, 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 18 Aug 2014.
