Trial summary

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a unique clinical scenario that results in widespread activation of the hemostatic system. Conventional CPB interferes with normal hemostasis by diluting hemostatic cells and proteins, through reinfusion of shed blood, and through activation on the bypass circuit surface of multiple… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Blood Cell Adhesion to Arterial Filters During Cardic Surgery - Observational Clinical Study: Scanning Electron Microscopy and Cell Gene Expression Analysis

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a unique clinical scenario that results in widespread activation of the hemostatic system. Conventional CPB interferes with normal hemostasis by diluting hemostatic cells and proteins, through reinfusion of shed blood, and through activation on the bypass circuit surface of multiple systems including platelets, the kallikrein-kinin system, and fibrinolysis . Besides, deleterious effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are partly sequelae of blood-foreign surface reactions. The arterial filter is the part of the CPB circuit where blood cells are exposed to high mechanical stress and where cellular aggregates may fasten in large quantitiesiec.

Read the detailed description

This is a clinical and observational study. It is being performed in the surgical center and intensive care unit of the Heart Institute (InCor) from Faculty of Medicine, University of São Paulo (FMUSP), on patients undergoing cardiac surgery, who satisfy inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the preanesthetic visit, patient assessment of the criteria described in study methodology is verfied. During the surgery, a blood sample is taken to analyze hemostatic function in the begin of cardiopulmonary bypass, before arterial filter (pre-filter) and in the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, after arterial filter (post-filter). Other routine laboratory exams is being colected until first postoperative day, on the eletronic medical records. At the end of surgery, the arterial filter is withdrawn from cardiopulmonary bypass circuit to be prepared and analysed by SEM. Ten arterial filter samples from pre-determined sites and sizes are sent to the clinical laboratory for evaluation of platelet and leukocyte gene expression in arterial filter. Patients will be followed until hospital discharge or 28 days after surgery, regarding allogeneic transfusion needs, reoperation and thromboembolic events.

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

  1. Types and characteristics of materials entrapped in the arterial line filter of cardiopulmonary bypass

    Analysis of the arterial filter from cardiopulmonay bypass circuit by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

    Measured: At the beginning and end of cardiopulmonary bypass

  2. Platelet and leukocyte gene expression analysis of arterial line filters of cardiopulmonary bypass

    Arterial filter samples from predetermined sites and sizes will be analyzed for evaluation of platelet and leukocyte gene expression in arterial filter.

    Measured: At the beginning and end of cardiopulmonary bypass

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation between blood adhesion cells in arterial filter and coagulation tests

    Measured: At the beginning and end of cardiopulmonary bypass

  2. Comparison of standard coagulation test

    Analysis of coagulation profile will be assessed fibrinogen dosage (mg/dL), D-dimers (ng/mL), hemoglobin(g/dL), hematocrit (%), platelets count (mm³), prothrombin time (s), activated thromboplastin time (s), international normalized ratio.

    Measured: At the beginning and end of cardiopulmonary bypass, Immediate postoperative; 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery

  3. Comparison of free oscillation rheometry profile

    Analysis of HEPSCREEN (Reorox) COT1(s),COT2(s), Slope (Pa/min), GMAX (Pa), EAT (Pa), CLOT SR(%)

    Measured: At the beginning and end of cardiopulmonary bypass

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Coagulation Disorders and C.Surgical Procedure; Cardiac, run by Instituto do Coracao at 1 site in Brazil.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Types and characteristics of materials entrapped in the arterial line filter of cardiopulmonary bypass (time frame: At the beginning and end of cardiopulmonary bypass). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03882593, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
