About this study

Official title: Prospective, Monocentric Study of the Interchangeability of Arterial Coagulation and Venous Coagulation, in the Context of Cardiac Surgeries Under Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Using the DMDiv Hemochron Signature Elite

Adequate coagulation measured using activated clotting (ACT) is important during vascular and cardiac surgeries. Unfractionated heparin is the most common anticoagulant used. For point of care testing, under supervision of biology department, the investigators use Hemochron Signature Elite®(HSE) (Werfen®-Barcelona Spain) to determine coagulation during cardiac surgery under Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB), with arterial or venous blood. The dosage of heparin varies according to this result, throughout the CPB. On the Connect Manager® software (Livanova®, Italy) which records all the data of a CPB, it is mandatory to inform, during an ACT, the sampling site in arterial or venous. The chemical compositions of arterial blood and venous blood are different (O2, Co2…) Even if the qualities of coagulation in vivo are identical, what happens when they are chemically analyzed using the medical device HSE ? Can we trust the results of this device to secure anticoagulation under CPB? Are the results affected by the sampling site? The objective of this study is to compare the reliability of hemostasis control , during cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, for both venous and arterial blood. Effective and controllable anticoagulation is mandatory during cardiac surgeries under extracorporeal circulation. The monitoring of the effectiveness of heparin is carried out, in our center, using the Hemochron Signature Elite® (HSE) medical device, which measures the ACT (Activated Clotting Time). There is no comparative study between hemostasis of venous blood, versus arterial blood, with this point of care device.

What participants receive

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

  • interchangeability of arterial or venous hemostasisProcedure or surgery

    Paired arterial and venous blood sampling respectively on the radial arterial catheter and on the central venous catheter before the extracorporeal circulation, and on the sampling ramp during the extracorporeal circulation. Point of care biology exams are performed on two HSE devices simultaneously. Controls carried out, routinely, every 20 minutes according to the service protocol, before the CPB (starting ACT without heparin), during the CPB (ACT objective ≥400 seconds), after protamine reversal of heparin. On average, 10 samples are taken during heart surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Activated Clotting Time after using the Hemochron Signature Elite® medical device

    Measured: day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemostasis and Extracorporeal Circulation, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 25 Jun 2026. 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 France. 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?

Activated Clotting Time after using the Hemochron Signature Elite® medical device (time frame: day 1). 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 25 Jun 2026.
