Trial summary

The researchers are trying to reduce the need for blood transfusions in subjects having surgery that will involve the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. A unit of whole blood will be removed as part of their standard of care prior to going on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This unit is given back to the subject post CPB. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects are those who are scheduled to undergo elective cardiac surgery. Researchers identify patients who based on our institutional practice would be candidates for ANH which has been shown to reduce bleeding and transfusion in cardiac surgical patients. These patients are consented to participate in the study, and are then followed through their operative day and laboratory results recorded. Patients are not randomized to any treatment arm as part of this study and it is up to the covering anesthesiologist as to whether or not a patient with undergo ANH or not (become a control).

Who may be able to join

  • Undergoing a cardiac surgical procedure utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass
  • Permission to use medical records in research

Who cannot join

  • Unable to grant informed consent or comply with study procedure
  • Patient refusal of ANH withdrawal.
  • Undergoing emergency open heart-surgery
  • CPB time is expected to be < 30 minutes
  • Less than 18 years of age
  • Pregnant

About this study

The researchers are trying to reduce the need for blood transfusions in subjects having surgery that will involve the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. A unit of whole blood will be removed as part of their standard of care prior to going on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This unit is given back to the subject post CPB. This has been shown to reduce the need for blood transfusion in patients.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be asked to allow the researchers to take the blood left over from normal standard of care blood draws and do coagulation testing. If clinically indicated, the blood, about 2 units, will be withdrawn from the subject. The researchers will also collect 8 ml (less than two teaspoons) of blood through the catheter that was placed as part of standard of care.

What participants receive

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

  • Coagulation Laboratory TestingDiagnostic test

    Standard coagulation testing (Platelet count, Fibrinogen, PT/INR, aPTT), and Thromboelastogram as is routine and per institutional protocol in this population.

Study groups in NCT03647644
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution GroupAll patients enrolled in the study will undergo a perioperative cardiac surgical anesthetic care plan standardized to the current institutional protocol utilized for intraoperative medication administration. If clinically indicated and appropriate per the discretion of the anesthesiologist, Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution (ANH) blood, about 2 units, will be withdrawn from the patients and stored carefully at room temperature per standard protocol. At the conclusion of cardiopulmonary bypass and after protamine administration, Coagulation Laboratory Testing will be drawn from the patients prior to re-infusing the ANH blood and after the blood has been infused per standard institutional protocol.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Coagulation Laboratory Testing
Control GroupAll patients enrolled in the study will undergo a perioperative cardiac surgical anesthetic care plan standardized to the current institutional protocol utilized for intraoperative medication administration. In this arm, ANH would be clinically appropriate, however, the anesthesiologist determined they would not have ANH preformed. At the conclusion of cardiopulmonary bypass and after protamine administration, Coagulation Laboratory Testing will be drawn from the patients and again 30 minutes later to mirror the time lapse in the ANH group.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Coagulation Laboratory Testing

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Platelet count

    A platelet is a tiny piece of cell that is made by breaking off of a large cell in the bone marrow. Platelets are found in the blood and spleen. They help form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding, and to help wounds heal. Also called thrombocyte. Normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. Units: 10(9)/L

    Measured: baseline, 30 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

  2. Change in Fibrinogen

    Component of blood that aids in coagulation. Also known as a blood coagulation factor. Normal reference range 200-393 mg/dL.

    Measured: baseline, 30 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

  3. Change in Prothrombin Time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR)

    Laboratory test that measures the clotting ability of blood and is a marker for the amount and functionality of the clotting factors in the blood. Normal reference range 0.9-1.1 seconds

    Measured: baseline, 30 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

  4. Change in aPTT

    Laboratory test that measures the clotting ability of blood and is a marker for the amount and functionality of the clotting factors in the blood. Normal reference range 25-37 seconds.

    Measured: baseline, 30 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

  5. Change in Thromboelastogram

    Laboratory test that looks at the bloods ability to form a clot and the the strength of the blood clot. It looks at all the components that allow blood to clot as a whole. The visual shape of the test along with objective data provide diagnostic information about normal or abnormal conditions of blood coagulation.

    Measured: baseline, 30 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Allogenic Blood Transfusion

    The amount of Allogenic Blood Transfusion volume required as measured by number of transfused units of red blood cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma, and cryoprecipitate.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  2. Chest Tube Output

    A marker of bleeding in cardiac surgery patients is chest tube output. The amount of fluid as measured in mL's of blood accumulated in the chest tube collection device in 24 hours.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  3. Re-operation

    A marker of bleeding in cardiac surgery patients is re-operation. The number of subjects who have re-operation.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coagulation Disorder and Bleeding, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 Jan 2019. 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?

Change in Platelet count (time frame: baseline, 30 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jan 2019.
