Trial summary

An hematocrit of 21-25% is supposed to perform the best organ protection during cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery. The investigators want to establish the best timing for a transfusion (in patients with a predicted low hematocrit during cardiopulmonary bypass) and the efficacy of preprocedural hemodilution… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Moderate Hemodilution During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Postoperative Outcome Following Cardiac Surgery

An hematocrit of 21-25% is supposed to perform the best organ protection during cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery.

The investigators want to establish the best timing for a transfusion (in patients with a predicted low hematocrit during cardiopulmonary bypass) and the efficacy of preprocedural hemodilution (in patients with a predicted high hematocrit during cardiopulmonary bypass) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Being tested
Different timing of red blood cells transfusion (substudy 1); Acute hemodilution versus no hemodilution (substudy 2)

Hematocrit, Hemodilution, Blood Transfusion, Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Multiple Organ Failure, Surgery, Cardiac, Kidney Failure, Cardiac Surgical Procedures

What participants receive

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

  • Different timing of red blood cells transfusion (substudy 1); Acute hemodilution versus no hemodilution (substudy 2)Procedure or surgery

    Subgroup 1,with Ht<21% receive an hemotransfusion before or after CEC;subgroup 2,with Ht>25% bleed or not

What is being measured

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

  1. renal function

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. other organ damage

  2. prolonged mechanical ventilation, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and hospital stay

  3. sepsis

  4. exitus

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Different timing of red blood cells transfusion (substudy 1); Acute hemodilution versus no hemodilution (substudy 2) in people with Kidney Failure and Intraoperative Complications, run by Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2009. 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 Italy. 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 was stopped early (reason given: difficult enrollment after the primary investigator left the centre). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

renal function. 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 Aug 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
