About this study

The study is to evaluate the effect of modified ultrafiltration on different components of Thromboelastography (TEG) in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass.

Read the detailed description

The study will be performed at Advocate Children's Hospital, Oak Lawn. All neonates undergoing cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass and modified ultrafiltration will be enrolled. Parents will be consented before surgery.

After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and before starting modified ultrafiltration, a TEG sample will be taken. The components studied are Reaction time (R), Coagulation time (K), Angle, Maximum Amplitude (MA) and whole blood clot lysis index at 30 minutes (LY30). Another TEG sample will be taken after finishing modified ultrafiltration and before protamine is given. The different components will be compared pre and after modified ultrafiltration. The Primary end points are the changes of the different TEG components after modified ultrafiltration. The secondary end points are the utilization of different blood products (packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets transfusion) during and after surgery.

    Measured: 1 hour (time during surgery after doing modified ultrafiltration) to 2 days (postoperative recovery in intensive care unit)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. blood products utilization during and after surgery

    use of packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets during or after surgery

    Measured: initial phase of recovery (2 days) in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery

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 2 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 4 Oct 2024. 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?

change in thromboelastography components after modified ultrafiltration (time frame: 1 hour (time during surgery after doing modified ultrafiltration) to 2 days (postoperative recovery in intensive care unit)). 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 NCT03214120, which also lists 10 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 4 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
