About this study

Official title: The Effects of Two Hemodilution Methods on Vascular Endothelial Function in Patients Undergoing Primary Debulking Gynaecological Surgery

Primary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer is an ideal setting to evaluate endothelial function under ANH and AHH, as the procedure is associated with moderately high blood loss. As the technique has not yet been described in this setting, investigators designed a pilot study to evaluate ANH and AHH in patients planned to undergo primary cytoreduction during perioperative period, with the intent of proceeding to a randomized trial if results were favorable.

Read the detailed description

Using a computer-generated random number table, patients were randomized to three groups: Control Group(n=30), ANH Group(n=30) and AHH Group(n=30). Patients underwent standard preoperative preparation for cytoreductive surgery according to institutional standards.All patients who underwent a standard anesthesia protocol and similar surgical procedures were considered for the analysis. For this purpose, investigators only included patients who underwent the following interventions: radical hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy, one or more bowel resection, peritonectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy and extended periaortic lymphadenectomy. The patient would be ruled out of the experiment when the participant was accompanied with any kind of serious complications such as wakening delay and drug allergy.

What participants receive

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

  • acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH)Other

    Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a medical procedure that involves removing a certain volume of blood from a patient before surgery and replacing it with a volume expander or blood substitute. The goal of ANH is to reduce the need for blood transfusions during or after surgery. During the ANH procedure, a patient's blood is typically withdrawn and replaced with a crystalloid or colloid solution. This dilutes the patient's blood, reducing the concentration of red blood cells. The withdrawn blood is then stored and can be reinfused back into the patient after the surgical procedure is completed.

  • acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH)Other

    The purpose of diluting the blood with fluids and removing some of the red blood cells is to decrease the viscosity of the blood. This can improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, especially in cases of decreased blood flow or oxygenation.

Study groups in NCT06103214
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupNo interventionIn control group ,patients had undergone similar surgical and anesthesia procedures in the same time period but whose hemodynamic management was carried out according to the clinical decision of the attending anesthesiologist.
acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH)OtherBefore anesthesia induction, in the ANH Group, blood was withdrawn at a speed of 25-30ml/min from radial artery and stored in standard collection bags. The volume of blood to be removed during ANH was calculated using an established formula as follows: V = EBV (H0 - Ht) / H. During collection, a tilt rocker scale was used to rock, mix, and weigh the blood. To maintain euvolemia, half of the blood volume removed was replaced with 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 with medium molecular weight at a 1:1 ratio and half was replaced with crystalloid at a 1:2 ratio. The autologous blood was returned to patients if the intraoperative transfusion trigger (Hb <8.0g/dl) was reached or at the completion of the operation.
Receives: Other: acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH)
acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH)OtherIn AHH group, 15ml/kg Voluven was transfused at a speed of 30 ml/min to make Hct to drop to medium. In control group, the regular transfusion and infusion were conducted. Allogenic blood was only given after all autologous blood had been returned to the patient. The transfusion triggers (Hb <8.0g/dl) were used to determine the need for allogenic blood transfusions during the procedure in three groups.
Receives: Other: acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH)

What is being measured

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

  1. Endothelin-1 (ET-1)

    Blood sample (5 ml) was obtained from the vein,Endothelin-1 (ET-1) was measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Merck \& Co Inc, USA) according to manufacturer's instructions.

    Measured: three periods: before hemodilution, immediate postoperative period, and 24 hours later

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. von Willebrand factor (VWF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and thrombomodulin (TM) levels

    von Willebrand factor (VWF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and thrombomodulin (TM) levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Merck \& Co Inc, USA) according to manufacturer's instructions.

    Measured: three periods: before hemodilution, immediate postoperative period, and 24 hours later

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) and acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) in people with Ovarian Neoplasm Epithelial, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 26 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) (time frame: three periods: before hemodilution, immediate postoperative period, and 24 hours later). 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 26 Oct 2023.
