About this study

Official title: "Investigation of the Clinical Predictive Value of p50 Value in Liver Transplant Surgeries"

The aim of this study is to compare the p50 value in routine blood gas measurements taken during liver transplant surgery follow-up with other follow-up parameters and clinical findings on the monitors, and to investigate whether there is a predictive parameter that can predict the rapidly changing clinical findings of the patients.

Read the detailed description

Blood gas monitoring is the most commonly method used by anesthetists during liver transplant surgeries. We evaluated the blood gas p50 value according to the stages in these heart transplant operations. We tried to find out how the blood gas p50 value would guide the patient's clinical findings in the dissection phase, anhepatic phase and neohepatic phase. For this purpose, we compared arterial and venous blood gas p50 values with the patient's vital signs at certain stages in liver transplant surgeries.

Liver transplant recipientsT0: After the anesthesia induction, before the surgery T1: Intraoperative p50 value from the blood gas sample taken during the dissection stage T2: Intraoperative p50 value from the blood gas sample taken during the anhepatic stage T3: Intraoperative p50 value from the blood gas sample taken during the neohepatic stage T4: After the hepatic artery reperfusion T5: At the end of the surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. p50 changes during liver transplant surgery

    P50 is the partial pressure of oxygen required to achieve 50% haemoglobin saturation. The normal p50 value is 24-28 mmHg. The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve represents the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. The p50 value represents a mid-point in this curve, and gives us information regarding that affinity. Determining the clinical value, if any, of the changes in p50 values taken at different stages of liver transplantation surgery may be useful in the follow-up of these patients in the future and may help in making intraoperative decisions.

    Measured: T0: at the end of the dissection before clamps T1: 5 min. before reperfusion (anhepatic) T2: 30 min. after reperfusion of the liver graft (neohepatic) T3: after hepatic artery reperfusion T4: End of the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Transplant; Complications, run by Inonu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

p50 changes during liver transplant surgery (time frame: T0: at the end of the dissection before clamps T1: 5 min. before reperfusion (anhepatic) T2: 30 min. after reperfusion of the liver graft (neohepatic) T3: after hepatic artery reperfusion T4: End of the operation). 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 NCT06660095, which also lists 2 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 26 Oct 2024.
