About this study

Official title: Evaluation and Follow-up of a Protocol for the Management of the Patient at High Risk Hemorrhagic in Cardiac Surgery by Monitoring Viscoelastic Hemostasis.

Evaluation and following of a protocol using viscoelastic test for the management of high risk patients in cardiac surgery

Read the detailed description

Haemorragy is a frequent issue in cardiac surgery due to multiple contributing factors. Excessive bleeding as well as transfusion are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.

Haemostatic blood products (Fibrinogen, fresh frozen plasma, platelets) transfusion had historically been guided by routine coagulation tests (aPTT, PT, platelets and fibrinogen). However, the delay (Up to 60 minutes) often leads to an empirical use of blood products in a context where clinical judgment is unreliable due to the multiples mechanisms contributing to haemostatic failure.

Using viscoelastic tests (VET) in this context has several advantages :

  • A quicker response (with first results from 10 minutes)
  • An overall evaluation of haemostatic from the clot formation to its dissolution.

The use of VET has mainly been evaluated in cardiac surgery, with several recent meta-analysis : The use of transfusion algorithms based on VET is associated with less transfusions of red blood cell concentrates, plasma and platelets and also with less mortality, less re-interventions due to excessive bleeding and less post operative renal failure.

These data led the international society for the study of hemostasis and thrombosis (ISTH) to recommend their use of VET in cardiac surgery. In France, the proposals of the peri operative hemostatis group of interest (GIHP) also support their use, specifying that there is no unique consensual algorithm.

Considering this, the investigator established a transfusion algorithm based on the Quantra, a viscoelastic device using sonorrheometry, to guide transfusion in high-risk of bleeding cardiac surgery patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgery, run by University Hospital, Brest 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 4 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 13 Aug 2024. 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?

fresh frozen plasma transfusion (time frame: 48 hours). 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 13 Aug 2024.
