About this study

Official title: Is Intraoperative Red Blood Cells Transfusion With Different Storage Duration Has Effect on Some Biochemical Parameters in Pediatric Trauma Patients Need Intraoperative Transfusion?

The aim of the study is to detect if the storage duration of red blood cells has impact on some biochemical parameters after intra operative transfusion in pediatric trauma patient

Read the detailed description
  • A pretransfusion draw of a few drops of patient venous blood, send for analysis by i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyser. Samples are processed immediately and provide laboratory quality results in 2 minutes using the CHEM 8+ i-STAT cartridge for measurement of:
  1. Potassium (K)
  2. Ionized Calcium (iCa)
  3. Glucose (Glu)
  4. Urea Nitrogen (BUN)/Urea
  5. Hemoglobin (Hb) and Hematocrit (Hct).
  • Concurrently, a few drops of blood will be taken from the unit to be transfused will be analysed by i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyser for measurement of previous biochemical parameters.
  • The details of the unit, such as draw date, volume of transfusion, and date of transfusion, will be recorded. The RBC unit will be delivered to the operative room from the blood bank in an insulated box.
  • The transfusion is then given as clinically indicated at a rate of 50 to 150 mL/h based on the clinician's orders, the patient's weight, and the patient's clinical situation.
  • Volumes will be transfused to children according to the following top-up transfusion equation: desired Hemoglobin (Hb) (g/dl) - actual Hemoglobin (Hb) (g/dl) x weight (kg) x 3. (usually 10-20 ml/kg).
  • A second patient blood sample will be drawn one hour after the transfusion and will be analyzed by i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyser.
  • Patient information will be recorded for age, weight, sex, and primary diagnosis.
  • Demographic and clinical variables will be collected, to include type and quantity of all blood products and fluids received and medications administered. All surgical procedures will be documented.
Being tested
Red blood cells unit age 14 days or less, Red blood cells unit age more than 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Red blood cells unit age 14 days or less and Red blood cells unit age more than 14 days in people with Red Blood Cells Transfusion, run by Abdelrady S Ibrahim, MD 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 8 Jan 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 potassium level (time frame: One hour after red blood cells transfusion). 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 NCT02724605, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jan 2018.
