Trial summary

High dose heparin regimens are required in cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and this may increase postoperative bleeding. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of heparin dose calculated according to lean body weight on intraoperative and postoperative bleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Heparinization Due to LBW in Cardiac Surgery

High dose heparin regimens are required in cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and this may increase postoperative bleeding. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of heparin dose calculated according to lean body weight on intraoperative and postoperative bleeding.

Read the detailed description

Patients with preoperative demographic data such as age, gender, body weight, height, and additional disease, medications, previous surgery, preoperative Htc / Hb values were recorded in the operation room without medical premedication. Standard anesthesia induction was performed after arterial cannulation and peripheral venous route. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: 400 IU heparin / kg (Group I) and 400 IU heparin / kg (Group II) according to actual body weight and lean body weight respectively before CPB. Before and after heparin administration, CPB entry and ACT (Activated Clotting Time) values were counted every 30 minutes, after CPB exit and protamine. In both groups, supplemental heparin was administered when there was a failure to reach the pre-CPB target ACT value of 400 sec. Hemodynamic data and transfusion requirements were recorded during the operation. Patient's intraoperative CPB and crossover times, postoperative drainage volume and blood transfusion requirement were recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Heparin Sodium in people with Heparin and Heparin Overdose, run by Adiyaman University Research 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 1 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2017. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ulku Sabuncu, M.D. (+90 533 708 5212, sabuncuulku@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ACT (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 48 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 14 Apr 2017.
