About this study

Official title: Elimination of CO2-insufflation-induced Hypercarbia in Open Heart Surgery Using a Separate Reservoir for Suction of Blood From the Open Surgical Wound

The study aim was to evaluate if an additional separate venous reservoir eliminates CO2-insufflation induced hypercapnia and keeps sweep gas flow of the oxygenator constant during open heart surgery.

Read the detailed description

Background: CO2-gas insufflation is used for continuous de-airing during open heart surgery. The study aim was to evaluate if an additional separate venous reservoir eliminates CO2-insufflation induced hypercapnea and keeps sweep gas flow of the oxygenator constant.

Methods: A separate small reservoir are used during CPB in addition to a standard large venous reservoir. The small reservoir receive drained wound blood and CO2-gas continuously via a suction drain (1 L/min) and handheld suction devices from the open surgical wound. CO2-gas is insufflated via a gas-diffuser in the open surgical wound at 10 L/min. During cross-clamping, gas and blood are either continuously drained to the standard large venous reservoir or not, every 5 minutes after steady state of PaCO2 is observed, after adjustment of sweep gas flow as necessary. Mean values for each setup (2-4 times) for each patient will be analyzed with Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

What participants receive

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

  • Tube clampingProcedure or surgery

    Clamping of the tube between the additional and standard venous reservoir

Study groups in NCT04202575
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
conventional setupNo interventionBlood and gas from the coronary and cardiotomy suction devices is continuously evacuated via the additional reservoir to the standard reservoir.
Intervention setupExperimentalThe connecting tube between the additional and standard venous reservoir is clamped. Thus, blood and gas from the coronary and cardiotomy suction devices are collected in the additional venous reservoir. During the intervention setup, the blood in the additional venous reservoir is only evacuated to the standard reservoir if the volume exceeded 800ml, and always with a remaining volume of 100 mL blood to keep the CO2-gas trapped in the additional venous reservoir.
Receives: Procedure: Tube clamping

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in PaCO2 (kPa)

    Measured: At 5 minutes steady state

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oxygenator sweep gas flow rate (L/min)

    Measured: At 5 minutes steady state

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tube clamping in people with Adult Patients Undergoing Open Heart Replacement of the Aortic Valve for Aortic Stenosis or Insufficiency, run by Karolinska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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 1 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 19 Dec 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 Sweden. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jan van der Linden, MD, PhD (+468-51770121, jan.vanderlinden@ki.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in PaCO2 (kPa) (time frame: At 5 minutes steady state). 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 NCT04202575, 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 19 Dec 2019.
