Trial summary

Major cancer surgeries often involve significant intraoperative blood loss and require transfusion. Conventional markers, such as hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct), provide limited insight into tissue oxygenation and transfusion thresholds. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Role of Cerebral and Peripheral Near-infrared Spectroscopy in Determining Intraoperative Blood Loss in Cancer Surgery

Major cancer surgeries often involve significant intraoperative blood loss and require transfusion. Conventional markers, such as hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct), provide limited insight into tissue oxygenation and transfusion thresholds. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive approach for monitoring regional tissue oxygen saturation and guiding transfusion decisions. This study aimed to evaluate the role of cerebral (cSO₂) and peripheral (pSO₂) NIRS measurements in identifying intraoperative blood loss and determining transfusion thresholds during major cancer surgeries.

Read the detailed description

This prospective observational study included 65 patients aged 18-75 years who underwent major cancer surgery. cSO₂ and pSO₂ were monitored at three time points: baseline (T1), pre-transfusion or significant blood loss (T2), and the end of surgery (T3).Hemodynamic parameters, acid-base status, hemoglobin levels, estimated blood loss, and transfusion volumes were recorded.Patients were divided into transfused (group 1) and non-transfused (group 2) cohorts. Statistical analyses included t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. cerebral NIRS measurements

    Near-infrared spectroscopy

    Measured: T1 (Baseline): Before the start of surgery T2 (Pre-transfusion / Abundant bleeding): In the event of significant blood loss or just before transfusion T3 (At the end of surgery; assessed up to 5 minutes)

  2. peripheral NIRS measurements

    Near-infrared spectroscopy

    Measured: T1 (Baseline): Before the start of surgery T2 (Pre-transfusion / Abundant bleeding): In the event of significant blood loss or just before transfusion T3 (At the end of surgery; assessed up to 5 minutes)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hemoglobin

    İntraoperative blood loss

    Measured: T1 (Baseline): Before the start of surgery T2 (Pre-transfusion / Abundant bleeding): In the event of significant blood loss or just before transfusion T3 (At the end of surgery; assessed up to 5 minutes

  2. Hematocrit

    intraoperative blood loss

    Measured: T1 (Baseline): Before the start of surgery T2 (Pre-transfusion / Abundant bleeding): In the event of significant blood loss or just before transfusion T3 (At the end of surgery; assessed up to 5 minutes

  3. Estimated Blood Loss

    intraoperative blood loss

    Measured: T1 (Baseline): Before the start of surgery T2 (Pre-transfusion / Abundant bleeding): In the event of significant blood loss or just before transfusion T3 (At the end of surgery; assessed up to 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Cancer Surgery, run by Dr Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Ankara Oncology Training and Research 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 2 inclusion and 9 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 14 Jan 2025. 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?

cerebral NIRS measurements (time frame: T1 (Baseline): Before the start of surgery T2 (Pre-transfusion / Abundant bleeding): In the event of significant blood loss or just before transfusion T3 (At the end of surgery; assessed up to 5 minutes)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jan 2025.
