Trial summary

In recent years Patient Blood Management (PBM) has developed into a multifactorial and interdisciplinary concept that focuses on individualized and optimized hemotherapy. Of course, this also applies to the cardiac surgery area (1). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Cell Salvage and Retrograde Autologous Priming in Patients Undergoing Isolated Coronary Bypass Grafting and Conventional Aortic Valve Replacement.

In recent years Patient Blood Management (PBM) has developed into a multifactorial and interdisciplinary concept that focuses on individualized and optimized hemotherapy. Of course, this also applies to the cardiac surgery area (1). In this context, the quality of the intraoperative PBM can be represented by patients scheduled for isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR). In a prospective, observational "before-and-after" protocol, the investigators analysed the impact of the combined use of retrograde autologous priming (RAP) and cell salvage on intraoperative usage of red blood cell concentrates (RBC) (2).

Read the detailed description

200 patients (CABG or AVR) will be monitored using local standard of care in these patients without cell salvage and RAP (control group, CG), followed by 200 patients with cell salvage and RAP (study group, SG). Both groups are defined by elective surgery and hemodynamically stable patients prior to the onset of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Based on our own data and current data from the literature, the investigators assume that the use of MAT in combination with RAP leads to at least an intraoperative reduction of the erythrocyte consumption of 15%. Consequently, the investigators calculated a case number of approximately 200 patients per group.

The study is set up with a control group under previous standard therapy. The data is recorded and analyzed descriptively. Qualitative comparisons will be made in the discussion of previously published data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgery and Hemodynamic Instability, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein at 2 sites in Germany.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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?

number of red blood cell concentrates (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT04792814, which also lists 2 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.

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 11 Mar 2021.
