Trial summary

Many variables measured in critically ill patients have been used to estimate severity of disease, prognosticate morbidity and mortality, evaluate costs of treatment, and finally indicate specific treatment and monitor the adequacy of treatment and its timing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Changes of Lactate Levels During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Pediatric Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: Possible Early Marker of Morbidity and Mortality

Many variables measured in critically ill patients have been used to estimate severity of disease, prognosticate morbidity and mortality, evaluate costs of treatment, and finally indicate specific treatment and monitor the adequacy of treatment and its timing. It is unlikely that one measurement can replace all of these, but in the remainder of this manuscript the investigators will show that lactate levels may come close. Although in our mind strongly linked to tissue hypoxia, lactate levels follow many more metabolic processes not related to tissue hypoxia and, therefore, subject to many disturbances found in various clinical situations

Read the detailed description

Forty consecutive pediatric patients who required cardiopulmonary bypass for repair or palliation of complex congenital heart disease will be enrolled in this study. Patients for the study were selected by convenience sampling, without randomization or control of surgical procedure, conduct of anesthesia, or CPB management.

Patients will be monitored intra-operatively using ECG, invasive and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, pulse oximetry and capnography for determination of End Tidal Co2 ( ETCo2 ) and nasopharyngeal temperature. After induction of anesthesia and placement of an intra-arterial catheter 1 ml of arterial blood will collected into a heparinized 3 ml blood gas syringe and immediately analyzed on the arterial blood gas analyzer (GEM Premier 3000) for blood gas, hematocrit, electrolytes, calcium and glucose. Management strategy of cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) was standardized for all the patients. Lactate samples will drawn at specific time points within 5 time intervals: before CPB after induction, during cooling on CPB, during rewarming on CPB, immediately after CPB in the operating room, and after admission to the post-operative intensive care unit.

Differences in lactate levels related to diagnosis will examined. To examine the effect of patient diagnosis and surgical risk on serum lactate level and outcome, the investigators separated patients into surgical risk categories Risk adjustment for congenital heart surgery (RACHS-1). This classification does not include heart transplantation. Patient mortality and the prevalence of postoperative complications for each of the 3 surgical risk categories relative to the change in lactate will examined.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Defects, Congenital, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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 7 Mar 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 Egypt. 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?

Serum lactate during CPB (time frame: first 24 hours). 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 Mar 2016.
