About this study

The purpose of the present study is to visualize the inflammatory response and coagulation disorders during cardiac surgery in order to identify possible predictors for acute lung injury postoperatively.

Read the detailed description

Acute lung injury after cardiac surgery is a common complication. The pathophysiology is complex and still not fully elucidate. No specific biomarkers are identified and the diagnosis is solely based on impaired oxygenation.

The purpose of the present study is to identify biomarkers of inflammation and coagulation in blood withdrawn simultaneous from the pulmonary artery and the left atrium during surgery and up to 20 hours after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass.

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lung Injury and Metabolic Disturbances, run by Aalborg University Hospital.

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 3 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 19 Jun 2015. 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?

Acute lung injury measured as the fraction of partial pressure of oxygen divided by the fraction of inspired oxygen (time frame: Evaluated 72 hours after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)). 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 19 Jun 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
