About this study

Official title: Effect of Modified Ultrafiltration on Whole Blood Coagulation in Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Retrospective Analysis

In cardiac surgery patients with CPB-induced dilutional coagulopathy, ultrafiltration (UF) was applied to reduce free water and concentrate all blood components before the weaning from CPB. The impact of UF on the clot strength is determined by analyzing the changes of maximal clot formation in EXTEM assay (MCF-EXTEM) in the ROTEM test in patients who underwent elective cardiac valve surgery in KUMC.

Read the detailed description

In cardiac surgery patients, ultrafiltration (UF) was applied to reduce free water and concentrate all blood components during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Concentrating plasma substrate of UF would be beneficial in attenuating CPB-induced dilutional coagulopathy. This study was to investigate whether MUF affected viscoelastic profiles during CPB for cardiac surgery.

Patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery and MUF at the end of CPB during January 2019-December 2021 are recruited. Using the patients' electronic medical records, the values of maximum clot firmness of EXTEM assay (MCF-EXTEM) of rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) test before and after applying MUF are retrospectively analyzed.

As the primary measure, we determine the changes of MCF-EXTEM after applying MUF. With an assumption that MUF increased MCF-EXTEM, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis is applied to MCF-EXTEM change. The area under the ROC curve is determined and the cut-off value is estimated with specificity and sensitivity in Youden's J statistics. The change of MCF-EXTEM in patients who show MCF-EXTEM less than the cut-off value is analyzed. The changes of hematocrit (Hct) before and after applying MUF is also determined.

What participants receive

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

  • ultrafiltrationProcedure or surgery

    In cardiac surgery patients, ultrafiltration is usually applied to reduce free water and concentrate all blood components before weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass

  • maximal clot firmness in EXTEM assay of ROTEM testDiagnostic test

    before and after applying ultrafiltration, arterial blood sample underwent EXTEM and FIBTEM assays of rotational thromboelastometry

What is being measured

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

  1. maximal clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM assay

    change of MCF-EXTEM assay

    Measured: 30 minute after the completion of ultrafiltration

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. cut-off value of MCF-EXTEM to be improved by ultrafiltration

    To estimate the cut-off value of MCF-EXTEM which can be increased by applying ultrafiltration

    Measured: 30 minute after the completion of ultrafiltration

  2. maximal clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM assay to be improved by ultrafiltration

    change of MCF-EXTEM by applying ultrafiltration in patients with reduced MCF-EXTEM before applying ultrafiltration (MCF-EXTEM < the estimated cut-off value)

    Measured: 30 minute after the completion of ultrafiltration

  3. maximal clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM assay not to be improved by ultrafiltration

    change of MCF-EXTEM by applying ultrafiltration in patients with reduced MCF-EXTEM before applying ultrafiltration (MCF-EXTEM > the estimated cut-off value)

    Measured: 30 minute after the completion of ultrafiltration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Valve Disease, run by Konkuk University Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 10 Jun 2022. 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 South Korea. 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?

maximal clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM assay (time frame: 30 minute after the completion of ultrafiltration). 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 10 Jun 2022.
