About this study

Official title: Effects of CPB-leukocyte Filtration on Interleukins Serum Levels and Pulmonary Function.

To test the hypothesis that leukocyte filtering during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) might reduce the inflammatory response and protect the lungs against the acute injury

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The extension of the systemic inflammatory response observed after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery is associated to postoperative pulmonary dysfunction degree. The leukocyte depletion during CPB can modify that response. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of leukocyte filtering on the inflammatory response and lung function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

METHODS: After approval by the institutional ethical committee, a prospective randomized study was performed to compare nine patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using leukocyte filtration in the arterial line (LG-6, Pall Biomedical Products) and eleven others submitted to standard CPB. Chest CT, oxygenation analysis and a complete leucocyte count were performed before surgery. After intravenous anesthesia induction, patients were mechanically ventilated with tidal volume of 8 mL.kg-1, with FiO2 0.6, and PEEP of 5 cm H2O, except during CPB. Haemodynamic data, PaO2/FiO2, shunt fraction, interleukins, elastase and myeloperoxidase were evaluated before and after CPB, at the end of surgery, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Chest CT was repeated on the first postoperative day. Data were analyzed using two-factor ANOVA for repeated measures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Filtering group LG-6, Pall Biomedical Products in people with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and Leukocyte Disorders, run by University of Sao Paulo.

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 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 10 Nov 2011. 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?

Effects of CPB-leukocyte Filtration on Interleukins Serum Levels and Pulmonary Function. (time frame: 24 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 10 Nov 2011.
