Trial summary

Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery imposes a significant reduction in length of hospital stay. However beneficial for the overall recovery it reduces the hospital observation time. after a laparoscopic surgery during which one of the longest resection line in surgery or anastomosis are created.

  • To achieve the most homogenous group of patients and to reduce possible bias due to additional interventions occurring during the operation - further, postoperative exclusion criteria were introduced:
  • Performed operation other than laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) Necessity of TXA administration in the postoperative period Additional, supplementary heamostatic materials and methods were used during the operation - deviation from the standard operation protocol such as: use of oxidized regenerative cellulose (ORC), cyanoacrylate laparoscopic bioglue (IfabondÒ, Peters Surgical), staple-line reinforcement.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Impact of Perioperative Administration of Tranexamic Acid on Bleeding After Sleeve Gastrectomy - a Randomized Clinical Trial

Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery imposes a significant reduction in length of hospital stay. However beneficial for the overall recovery it reduces the hospital observation time. after a laparoscopic surgery during which one of the longest resection line in surgery or anastomosis are created. Therefore, discovering possible safe and effective ways of pharmacologically reducing surgical blood loss and reducing the risk of postoperative bleeding would be an invaluable addition to the protocol. The systemic use of tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to be effective in many types of surgery, reducing the incidence of post-operative bleeding and thereby reducing the rate of reoperation.

Read the detailed description

Aim:

To evaluate if TXA systemic administration reduces postoperative blood loss in bariatric surgeriessleeve gastrectomy operation.

Material and methods:

A single-blind randomized clinical trial in the high-volume bariatric center of excellence.

Patients undergoing highly standardized bariatric procedures, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study, sample size determined by power study evaluation.

Randomization scheme was a weekly surgery schedule. Patients were randomized to 2 groups: TXA (administration of 1g tranexamic acid intravenous bolus, after anesthesia was introduced) od CG (no tranexamic acid administration).

Patients were evaluated on the postoperative day 1 by standard lab tests included in the center's protocol, additionally measuring the volume of drainage and heamoglobin concentration in the drainage sample.

1-month follow-up observation involving interviewing, examining and conducting lab tests of the study group was provided to determine the safety profile and possible occurrence of TXA complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood loss.

    Patients were evaluated on the postoperative day 1 by standard lab tests included in the center's protocol, additionally measuring the volume of drainage and heamoglobin concentration in the drainage sample.

    Measured: First postoperative day.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. TXA complications.

    1-month follow-up observation involving interviewing, examining and conducting lab tests of the study group was provided to determine the safety profile and possible occurrence of TXA complications.

    Measured: One month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Administration of 1g tranexamic acid intravenous bolus, after anesthesia was introduced in people with Hemorrhage, Surgical and Bariatric Surgery, run by Medical University of Gdansk at 1 site in Poland.

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 1 inclusion and 16 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 22 Sep 2023. 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 Poland. 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?

Blood loss. (time frame: First postoperative day.). 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 22 Sep 2023.
