About this study

Official title: Resuscitative Effect of Two Liters of Crystalloid on Hemodilution and Base Deficit in Healthy Volunteer Blood Donors With Class I Hemorrhage.

This study is a randomized control trial in volunteer blood donors to quantify the effect of blood loss and subsequent crystalloid infusion on hemoglobin and markers of resuscitation such as base deficit and lactate.

Read the detailed description

Blood donors were randomized to one of three arms after donation of 500cc of blood. The control group received no intravenous fluids, while donors in the two intervention arms wither received two liters normal saline or lactated ringers. Chemistries and blood gases were obtained before donation, after donation and after resuscitation. Donors hemoglobin levels were then compared over time and between study arms. Additionally, lactate and base deficit, which are markers of shock, will be collected at the time points as well to measure their response to resuscitation. Standard statistical tests were used to compare the laboratory values between groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemoglobin (g/dL)

    obtain hemoglobin immediately before and after donation, and after resuscitation with intravenous fluids. From donation to end of resuscitation, the time frame will be 2 hours or less. Donors will not be followed after the third blood draw and will be discharged from the study. No follow-up was obtained.

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Lactate (mmol/L)

    Obtain lactate immediately before and after donation, and after resuscitation with intravenous fluids. Lactate is a measure of aneorbic metabolism and increases with worsening shock and hypoperfusion as seen in hemorrhage. From donation to end of resuscitation, the time frame will be 2 hours or less. Donors will not be followed after the third blood draw and will be discharged from the study. No follow-up was obtained.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Base deficit (mmol/L)

    Obtain base deficit immediately before and after donation, and after resuscitation with intravenous fluids. Base deficit is a measure of unmeasured acid in the blood, indicating acidosis and shock, and increases in worsening hypoperfusion. From donation to end of resuscitation, the time frame will be 2 hours or less. Donors will not be followed after the third blood draw and will be discharged from the study. No follow-up was obtained.

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing normal saline and lactated ringers in people with Hemodilution and Hemorrhage, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 21 Apr 2022. 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.

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?

Hemoglobin (g/dL) (time frame: 2 hours). 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 NCT02318355, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Apr 2022.
