About this study

Official title: Impact of Intravascular Fluid Resuscitation for Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution on Blood Viscosity and Oxygen Delivery in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) has long been employed for reducing allogenic blood transfusion for cardiac surgery, and hydroxyethyl starch has been used as an intravenous replacement fluid during ANH procedure. However, possible impact of ANH employing HES on blood viscosity and oxygen delivery have not been well investigated in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery .

Anesthesia is induced and maintained by using propofol-remifentanil-rocuronium in OPCAB surgery (n=21). ANH is performed by using 5 ml/kg of blood salvage and administering 5 ml/kg of balanced HES 130/0.42 (Tetraspan™) for 15 min during vascular graft harvesting. For the present study, three arterial blood samples (3 ml each) are taken before (Sample 1) and after ANH (sample 2 and 3) and they are stored in 3 tubes. Sample 3 (in tube) undergoes further 30% in-vitro dilution by adding 1-1.5 ml HES. By using a scanning capillary tube viscometer (Hemovister™), Blood viscosity at low shear rate (5/sec) of the three samples are determined. By using a formula with blood viscosity and hematocrit, tissue O2 delivery index (TODI, = hematocrit/viscosity at 5/sec) is calculated.

What participants receive

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

  • acute normovolemic hemodilutionProcedure or surgery

    acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is performed by using 5 ml/kg of blood salvage and intravenously administering 5 ml/kg of balanced hydroxyethystarch 130/0.42 (Tetraspan™) for 15 min

  • In-vitro hemodilutionProcedure or surgery

    Blood sample after ANH 5 ml/kg undergoes further 30% in-vitro dilution by adding 1-1.5 ml hydroxyethystarch 130/0.42

What is being measured

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

  1. blood viscosity at shear rate 5/sec

    By using a scanning capillary tube viscometer (Hemovister™), Blood viscosity at shear rate 5/sec of the three samples are determined

    Measured: 5 min after acute normovoelmic hemodilution, 5 min after in-vitro dilution

  2. hematocrit/blood viscosity at 5/sec

    oxygen delivery index calculated with a formula (= hematocrit/blood viscosity)

    Measured: 5 min after acute normovoelmic hemodilution, 5 min after in-vitro dilution

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. blood viscosity at shear rate 300/sec

    By using a scanning capillary tube viscometer (Hemovister™), Blood viscosity at shear rate 300/sec of the three samples are determined

    Measured: 5 min after acute normovoelmic hemodilution, 5 min after in-vitro dilution

  2. Hematocrit/viscosity at shear rate 300/sec

    oxygen delivery index calculated with a formula (= hematocrit/blood viscosity)

    Measured: 5 min after acute normovoelmic hemodilution, 5 min after in-vitro dilution

  3. Coagulation profiles in ROTEM

    clot formation time in extem, MCF in extemA5 in fibtem,

    Measured: 5 min after acute normovoelmic hemodilution, 5 min after in-vitro dilution

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing acute normovolemic hemodilution and In-vitro hemodilution in people with Ischemic Heart Disease and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Konkuk University Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 29 Dec 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

blood viscosity at shear rate 5/sec (time frame: 5 min after acute normovoelmic hemodilution, 5 min after in-vitro dilution). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Dec 2021.
