Trial summary

It is known that perioperative hypothermia can influence the postoperative outcome negatively. The most important complications are cardiac, increased blood loss with need for transfusion and a significantly increased wound infection rate. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Pilot Study for Thermal Management in Patients With Interventional Minimally Invasive Valve Replacement

It is known that perioperative hypothermia can influence the postoperative outcome negatively.

The most important complications are cardiac, increased blood loss with need for transfusion and a significantly increased wound infection rate.

Read more

The thermal redistribution after the induction of anesthesia is on of the reasons for perioperative hypothermia. Another reason is negative heat balance during surgery.

Further negative side effects of hypothermia are an increase of blood viscosity and thus a higher risk for thrombosis, coagulopathy and thus an increased risk of bleeding.

The aim of the study is to evaluate if patients with a perioperative active thermal management during an interventional minimal invasive valve replacement have a significantly higher body temperature at the end of the operation than patients without an active thermal management. Secondary outcome variables are complication rates, length of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • LMA Perfect TempDevice

    The LMA PerfecTemp™ patient warming system combines warming beneath the patient and advanced pressure reduction to combat hypothermia and decubitus ulcers. This device is used during the interventional minimal invasive valve replacement with unprecedented ease and safety

What is being measured

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

  1. Temperature at the end of the intervention

    The end of the surgical procedure is defined and is recorded for all patients in the hospital information systems. This time point will be used to record the body temperature at the end of the intervention

    Measured: average 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. hospital stay

    Measured: max 28 days

  2. mechanical ventilation time

    The mechanical ventilation time in the hospital is recorded electronically. The time frame will be recorded as the outcome measure in this study.

    Measured: maximum 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LMA Perfect Temp in people with Outcomes and Body Temperature, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 19 May 2011. 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 Germany. 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?

Temperature at the end of the intervention (time frame: average 2 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 19 May 2011.
