About this study

Official title: Red Blood Cells (RBC) Transfusion Related to Central Venous O2 Saturation

The objective of this study is to estimate red blood cells (RBC) transfusion related to central venous O2 saturation (ScvO2) measurement. This prospective, randomized trial is performed in visceral, vascular and thoracic surgery units in the university hospital of Lille.

One hundred patients need to be included. Inclusion criteria are: age 18 to 99 year old, patient with central venous catheter in place and fulfilling the haemoglobin (Hb) threshold criteria for RBC transfusion according to the XXIIIth French Consensus Conference in critical care medicine recommendations.

After randomisation, patients will be eligible to receive RBC according to their level of Hb in the standard group and according to the Hb and ScvO2 in the optimization group. Patients without any disease are transfused if their Hb level is below 7g/dL; patients older than 60 years or having sepsis are transfused if their Hb level is 8g/dL or lower and cardiac patients are transfused if their Hb level is 9g/dL or lower. In the second group, transfusion is performed if and only if the ScvO2 level is les than 70% when Hb is under the same threshold levels.

The primary aim of the study is to compare the number of RBC units transfused by group (standard group or optimization group) over a period of 5 days counted from the first decision of transfusion taken post-operative. Considering the randomisation and considering the 50 % reduction of the decisions of transfusion in the group optimization, the absolute blood savings is estimated 25 % for the whole population. Secondary end points include the number of side effects associated with transfusion or when avoiding transfusion, length of hospital stay, and hospital mortality as well as major adverse events.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transfusion in people with Postoperative Complications and Erythrocyte Transfusion, run by University Hospital, Lille 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 2 inclusion and 8 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 13 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 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?

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?

Number of RBC units transfused by group (time frame: 5 days). 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 13 May 2015.
