Trial summary

A prospective study designed to evaluate changes in tissue and cerebral oxygenation before and following administration of blood for patients undergoing spinal surgery. Red blood transfusions (autologous and allogeneic) are indicated to improve oxygen delivery to the tissues and hence tissue oxygenation. Read more about this study

About this study

A prospective study designed to evaluate changes in tissue and cerebral oxygenation before and following administration of blood for patients undergoing spinal surgery.

Red blood transfusions (autologous and allogeneic) are indicated to improve oxygen delivery to the tissues and hence tissue oxygenation. Despite the presumed efficacy, there are limited data to demonstrate changes in tissue oxygenation with the administration of blood. Furthermore, the administration of both autologous blood from cell saver and allogeneic blood can be associated with both acute and long-term deleterious physiologic effects which may impact the perioperative course. As such, data are needed to clearly delineate the benefits of transfusion during the perioperative period.

Read the detailed description

This prospective study will include patients presenting for spinal surgery. There will be no change in the anesthetic or perioperative care of these patients. Per our usual clinical routine, cell saver will be used intraoperatively to limit the need for allogeneic blood. Tissue and cerebral oxygenation will be monitored using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). The device is applied non-invasively like pulse oximetry to a muscle bed (usually the deltoid) and the forehead to measure tissue oxygenation. These devices are used routinely in the operating room and the cardiothoracic intensive care unit. Although not used on every major orthopedic procedure, these devices are routinely used in various high risk clinical scenarios. As clinically indicated, cell saver blood (autologous) or allogeneic blood will be administered. During this time, tissue and cerebral oxygenation will be recorded every 5 minutes starting 10 minutes before the transfusion and continued for 30 minutes following the transfusion.

What participants receive

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

  • Cerebral Oxygenation ChangesOther

    Monitor cerebral oxygenation changes in patients receiving blood transfusions who are undergoing spinal fusion surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cerebral Oxygenation Changes

    To evaluate changes in tissue and cerebral oxygenation during the administration of autologous or allogeneic blood during spinal surgery.

    Measured: Intraoperative measure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oxygenation Changes in Autologous versus Allogeneic Blood Transfusions

    To determine if there are differences in the changes in tissue and cerebral oxygenation with autologous compared to allogeneic blood.

    Measured: Intraoperative measure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Scoliosis and Transfusion Reaction, run by Nationwide Children's Hospital 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 7 Apr 2016. 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?

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?

Cerebral Oxygenation Changes (time frame: Intraoperative measure). 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 7 Apr 2016.
