Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Study populations includes male and female patients over 18 kg in weight and less than 75 years old who are undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass and are theoretically at risk for significant bleeding in the peri-operative period

Who may be able to join

  • Eligible male and female patients will include those who are over 18 kg (identified as the lower inclusion threshold so as to standardize CPB circuit dilution) and less than 75 years old (to limit excessive stroke risk) and at theoretically increased risk for excessive bleeding following cardiopulmonary bypass, including patients:
  • undergoing repeat sternotomy, or
  • undergoing combined procedures (i.e. - valve and coronary artery surgery), or
  • undergoing multiple valve surgery, or
  • undergoing aortic root replacement with/without deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, or
  • undergoing complex congenital cardiac surgery

Who cannot join

  • Ineligible patients include those:
  • with known coagulation factor deficiency, or
  • refusing to receive donor blood products if necessary, or
  • undergoing emergency surgery, or
  • undergoing their first coronary artery bypass surgery or their first valve repair/replacement, or
  • with history of previous stroke or other significant thromboembolic event within 6 months (such as pulmonary embolism, valve obstruction [if not replacing this valve in upcoming operation], renal vein thrombosis, acute MI, DVT ), or
Show all 10Show fewer
  • with known thrombophilia, or
  • with active infection (bacteremia, sepsis, endocarditis, meningitis, urinary tract infection, cholecystitis, cellulitis, pneumonia)
  • pregnant, or
  • weight > 150 kg or < 18 kg

About this study

Official title: Management of Excessive Bleeding Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Pilot Feasibility Study

We believe ongoing bleeding during complex cardiac surgery can be accurately measured and that administration of a specific blood product replacement strategy designed to optimally slow or stop the bleeding can be followed by the during the operation.

Patients at risk of significant bleeding after complex cardiac surgery will be approached to allow their operation to be watched by study personnel to see if ongoing blood loss can be accurately measured and to see how quickly a prescribed, standardized blood product replacement protocol to control the bleeding does slow or stop the bleeding. Permission to review the medical record to see if bleeding risk features can be identified and permission to follow the patient after surgery to see how they recover is also requested.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tabulate the number of high risk subjects that must be screened and consented in order to find twenty subjects that meet the criteria of excessive bleeding following conventional therapy

    Measured: end of trial

  2. Determine blood loss, bleeding rate and blood transfusion prior to and following completion of algorithm-guided conventional transfusion therapy,including measured loss, rate of loss, volume of transfusion

    Measured: During and immediately following completion of bypass OR in the first 24 hours after admission to the IUC, if significant bleeding occurs

  3. Assess the relative accuracy and clinical relevance of measuring bleeding rate, blood loss and blood transfusion in the first 24 hours following designation of "excessive bleeding", including measured hourly outputs, rate of output and volume transfused

    Measured: First 24 hours after operation

  4. Assess the level of compliance to the Bleeding Management Algorithm

    Measured: Immediate peri-operative period

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tabulating adverse outcomes, including: 1) rate of re-exploration within the next 24 hours, 2) use of rescue therapeutics in accordance with local practice, and 3) mortality within 30 days

    Measured: First 30 days post-operatively or until discharge, whichever comes first

  2. Recording serious adverse events, such as myocardial infarction, thrombo-embolic events, etc.

    Measured: First 30 days post-operatively or discharge, whichever occurs first

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemorrhage and Cardiopulmonary Bypass, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 28 May 2015. 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 United States. 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?

Tabulate the number of high risk subjects that must be screened and consented in order to find twenty subjects that meet the criteria of excessive bleeding following conventional therapy (time frame: end of trial). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00672516, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 28 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
