About this study

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the correlation of the Compensatory Reserve Index (CRI) numeric and graphical trend readings to intravascular volume changes as compared to graded blood loss (removal of 20% of estimated total blood volume in ~333 mL aliquots) and to stroke volume as measured by the Nexfin monitor during the same graded blood removal period. Enrollment includes both men and women.

Read the detailed description

Sequential Blood Loss: Blood loss will be simulated by withdrawal of 20% of estimated total blood volume. Estimated total blood volume for men = 75 mL/kg and for women = 65 mL/kg. The calculated target withdrawal volume is also consistent with an allowable estimated blood loss equation assuming a starting hematocrit (hct) of approximately 45% in males and 40% in females, where the expected drop in hct for this volume withdrawn is 7 percentage points in males and 6 percentage points in females. An actual drop in hct may not be observed in this study due to the relatively expedient removal of blood and no simultaneous administration of fluids (i.e., no "hemodilution" with crystalloid). Blood will be removed in aliquots up to ~333 mL. For safety, men will have no more than 4 units of blood removed (1,333 mL) and women will have no more than 3 units of blood removed (1,000 mL).

The blood will be withdrawn via the venous catheter and we anticipate that it will take 15-20 min for each stage of blood withdrawal to occur. A total of 3 aliquots will be withdrawn over approximately sixty minutes in women and 4 aliquots withdrawn over 80 minutes in men. The blood will be stored using preservatives and anticoagulation procedures similar to those used for perioperative hemodilution and/or intraoperative cell saver. The blood will remain in the study room until it is re-infused. We will use standard "auto-transfusion" blood collection equipment identical to that used in the ORs for perioperative hemodilution techniques. The blood will be drained by gravity from an indwelling vascular catheter into anti-coagulant preservative solution using tubing and bags systems provided by the autologous transfusion team that we routinely work with in the ORs. For the first several studies we will schedule them at a time when auto-transfusion OR personnel can be present and after that the anesthesiologists will be directly involved in drawing the blood, subsequent handling and reinfusion. The blood will never leave the autologous transfusion bag and a closed system will be used. The blood will be held at room temp with gentle agitation for ~60-80 minutes and then re-infused over 60-80 minutes via a large bore IV; monitoring will continue during reinfusion. Following completion of the reinfusion subjects will de-instrumented and observed in the physiology lab for two hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemorrhage, run by Flashback Technologies.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 2 Dec 2016. 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?

Comparison of CipherOx trend to blood removal for trending intravascular volume (time frame: 1 hour). 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 2 Dec 2016.
