Trial summary

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious operative complication that may be associated with any surgical procedures. It increases morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Plasma concentration of prophylactic antibiotic, routinely cefazolin, is altered by effects of cardiopulmonary bypass. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Plasma Concentrations of Prophylactic Cefazolin in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious operative complication that may be associated with any surgical procedures. It increases morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Plasma concentration of prophylactic antibiotic, routinely cefazolin, is altered by effects of cardiopulmonary bypass. This study is conducted to measure the plasma concentrations of cefazolin to determine its adequacy in pediatric patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass including its correlation with the incidence of postoperative SSI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgical Site Infection, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 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 6 Apr 2020. 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 Thailand. 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?

plasma concentration of cefazolin in pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass (time frame: 12 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 6 Apr 2020.
