Trial summary

Cardiac surgery is a bleeding-risk surgery and frequently requires blood transfusion. Intraoperative autotransfusion devices are used to aspirate, process and retransfuse patients' blood. These devices are effective in recovering red blood cells and limiting the need for transfusion of packed red blood cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Platelet Count Changes During the Use of Autotransfusion Device in Cardiac Surgery

Cardiac surgery is a bleeding-risk surgery and frequently requires blood transfusion. Intraoperative autotransfusion devices are used to aspirate, process and retransfuse patients' blood. These devices are effective in recovering red blood cells and limiting the need for transfusion of packed red blood cells. Some devices, such as I-SEP's SAME®, can also be used to recover platelets, but their effectiveness has not yet been evaluated in real-life situations. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate the evolution of platelet counts following the use of an intraoperative recovery device in adult patients undergoing standard cardiac surgery

What participants receive

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

  • Autotransfusion deviceDevice

    Standard cardiac surgery using I-SEP and SAME™ autotransfusion device

What is being measured

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

  1. Platelet count

    Study the evolution of platelet counts following the use of I-SEP's SAME™ autotransfusion device in major patients undergoing standard cardiac surgery

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. To study the evolution of platelet count following the use of the autotransfusion device (other than SAME) in major patients undergoing standard cardiac surgery.

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

  2. To study the evolution of platelet function (flow cytometry and flow aggregation) following the use of a autotransfusion device in major patients undergoing standard cardiac surgery.

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

  3. Study the evolution of platelet function according to the autotransfusion device used.

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

  4. Study post-operative bleeding volume as a function of autotransfusion device type.

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

  5. Study the volume of labile blood product transfusion according to the autotransfusion device used.

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

  6. Study the intensity of post-operative inflammatory syndrome as a function of the autotransfusion device used.

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

  7. Study platelet adhesion to the autotransfusion device membranes using electron microscopy.

    Measured: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Platelets and Autotransfusion Device, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France 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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2025. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Charles TACQUARD, PHU (+33 6 69 55 16 08, charlesambroise.tacquard@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Platelet count (time frame: Before the use of blood sparing system and 5 minutes after the end of the infusion of blood from the autotransfusion device). 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 3 Apr 2025.
