Allogenic Blood Transfusion During Elective Open Abdominal Aortic Surgery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Open surgery on the abdominal aorta is a high risk procedure associated with an intravascular volume blood loss and thereby, with high requirement for blood and blood product transfusion.

The aim of this study was to establish the rate for allogenic blood transfusion (ABT) during elective open abdominal aortic surgery and find parameters associated with ABT requirements.

Clinical Trial Description

Two distinct clinical entities affect the abdominal aorta: abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). These are multifactorial vascular disorders caused by complex genetic and environmental factors. Older patients with more comorbidity are often affected. Open abdominal aortic surgery is associated with high mortality rate. Even in specialised institutions it varies from 2 to 5%. Similar results can be compared to mortality for coronary artery bypass grafting. This reflects the complexity of the surgery and the general health of those patients. It is associated with intravascular volume blood loss and, thereby, with a high requirement for blood and blood products transfusion. Allogenic blood transfusion (ABT) has been associated with an increased risk of tumour recurrence, postoperative infection, acute lung injury, perioperative myocardial infarction, postoperative low-output cardiac failure, and increased mortality.

In the last decades, multiple strategies have been undertaken to prevent massive intraoperative blood loss during elective surgery and allogenic blood transfusion requirement. One of the method advocates a preoperative increase in red blood cells level using B12, folic acid and iron supplements or with erythropoietin usage. Other methods involve the optimisation of surgical technique and the use of a machine for intraoperative blood salvage, known as "cell saver".

The aim of this study was to establish the rate for ABT during elective open abdominal aortic surgery, find parameters associated with ABT requirements, and optimise the investigators hospital's maximum surgical blood ordering schedule (MSBOS). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
