About this study

Official title: Epidemiology of Peroperative Bleeding and Transfusion During Scheduled Surgery.

Peroperative bleeding has been studied in specific populations exposed to bleeding (i.e. cardiac surgery, orthopedic surgery). Epidemiology of peroperative bleeding and transfusion remain poorly studied in the whole cohort of patients scheduled for surgery remain unknown. The investigators conducted a prospective study in order to examine the incidence, and risk factors associated with peroperative bleeding and transfusion.

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective observational including all consecutive patients scheduled for surgery during a 3 month period.

Exclusion criteria were : emergency, cardiac surgery, and pediatric surgery. Patients received an oral information and informed consent was search for all of them.

Throughout the study period (3 months) data were prospectively recorded by members of a specific research team not involved in the care of patients. Preoperative, peroperative and immediate postoperative data (post anesthesia care unit) were collected.

Unanticipated bleeding was defined as either transfusion above the pre ordered packed red blood cells or hemoglobin concentration < 8 g/dL.

What participants receive

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

  • ControlOther

    Control patients were defined as either transfusion using only pre ordered packed red blood cells or peroperative hemoglobin concentration >8 g/dL.

  • Unanticipated bleedingOther

    Unanticipated bleeding was defined as either transfusion above the pre ordered packed red blood cells or peroperative hemoglobin concentration < 8 g/dL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Unanticipated Bleeding

    From arrival in operating room until the patients leave post anesthesia care unit

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Transfusions

    transfusion pattern in the whole cohort

    Measured: one day

  2. Preoperative Anemia

    proportion of patients with preoperative anemia

    Measured: one day

  3. Lowest Hemoglobin

    lowest peroperative hemoglobin concentration

    Measured: one day

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?

Unanticipated Bleeding (time frame: one day). 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?
