NCT ID: NCT06230198 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Red Blood Cell Transfusion

The Effect of Retrograde Autologous Priming on Transfusion Requirements After Cardiac Surgery

TheRAPy
Start date: May 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The TheRAPy vanguard trial is a multicentre, multiple period randomized, cluster crossover vanguard trial testing the feasibility of a full-scale trial to evaluate whether a centre-based policy of routine use of RAP versus a policy of crystalloid priming reduces RBC transfusion for patients undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. It will also provide information about key parameters of the TheRAPy full-scale trial.

NCT ID: NCT05798130 Completed - Oxygen Consumption Clinical Trials

Assessment of Oxygen Extraction Rate Changes Following Red Blood Cell Transfusion in the Intensive Care Unit

Start date: April 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Restrictive and liberal approaches to hemoglobin targets are used when deciding on red blood cell transfusions in patients who do not have acute bleeding and have a hemodynamically stable course in the intensive care unit. However, physiologic trigger points that assess tissue oxygenation when deciding on blood transfusion in patients are also among the important topics of study in recent years. In this study, the investigators will evaluate the oxygen extraction rate, which is an important indicator of the balance between tissue oxygen delivery and consumption. Whether oxygen extraction rate can be used as a trigger for blood transfusion will be determined by clinical outcomes in ICU patients. If physiologic transfusion targets are feasible, the risks of unnecessary transfusions can be avoided with individualized targets, and the decision to transfuse blood can be made without delay in patients requiring red blood cell transfusion.

NCT ID: NCT05405426 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Trial of Indication-Based Transfusion of Red Blood Cells in ECMO

TITRE
Start date: April 14, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

TITRE - Trial of Indication-based Transfusion of Red Blood Cells in ECMO, is a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial. The overarching goal of TITRE is to determine whether restricting red blood cell (RBC) transfusion according to an indication-based strategy for those with bleeding and/or deficit of tissue oxygen delivery, compared with transfusion based on center-specific hemoglobin or hematocrit thresholds, can reduce organ dysfunction and improve later neurodevelopment in critically ill children receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) support.

NCT ID: NCT04920045 Recruiting - Anemia Clinical Trials

A Trial to Assess the Effect of Transfusion Strategies on Fatigability Levels After Hospital Discharge

EToF
Start date: February 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a randomized controlled trial in which hospitalized patients with anemia are randomized to receive transfusion at: a) Hb<9g/dL (liberal transfusion strategy), or b) Hb<7g/dL (restrictive transfusion strategy). We are measuring self-reported fatigability, fatigue, and activity levels at randomization and 7 days post hospital discharge in both trial arms. In a subset of 75 patients in each trial arm (150 total), we will are administering the 6 Minute Walk Test at randomization and 7 days post discharge.

NCT ID: NCT04757909 Recruiting - Anemia Clinical Trials

Detection of Anemizations in Primary Care.

ANHEMOG
Start date: March 30, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Objective: To evaluate the effect of the use of the hemoglobinometer in primary care on the clinical results of patients with chronic anemia. Methods: The ANHEMOG study is a randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms, intervention and control. It was approved at december 11, 2017. The study randomizes 138 patients with chronic anemia. In the intervention arm, a monthly capillary hemoglobin measurement will be performed with a hemoglobinometer. If a decrease in hemoglobin concentration is detected, an existing transfusion circuit will be followed. Social, demographic and quality of life variables will be collected from all participants. Hypothesis: The results of the research will have an impact on people with chronic anemia who would receive red blood cell transfusion when needed without delay. The improvement in the times of action would reduce decompensations from chronic diseases, visits to the emergency room and hospital admissions, and therefore would improve the quality of life of these patients. Furthermore, the management of the different interventions by the Case Management Nurse (EGC), in this regard, improves the current fragmentation of the different levels of care.

NCT ID: NCT03344887 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Red Blood Cell Transfusion

An Innovative Trial Assessing Donor Sex on Recipient Mortality

iTADS
Start date: September 4, 2018
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The iTADS trial will test an important blood donor characteristic - donor sex - to see whether male donor blood leads to a greater benefit for transfusion recipients compared to female donor blood. The trial will help determine how the investigators can tailor the selection of blood donors based on donor characteristics (e.g. sex) to further improve the safety and optimize the clinical benefit of blood products in Canada.

NCT ID: NCT02566577 Terminated - Clinical trials for Red Blood Cell Transfusion

Physiologic Effects of RBC Transfusion

Start date: July 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine how red blood cell transfusions, particularly the length of storage time of units of packed red blood cells, affects the cardiovascular function in patients receiving transfusions. This study will also determine the most ideal way of storing and processing blood, and assess how transfusion affects a person's ability to exercise and how their blood vessels relax and contract.

NCT ID: NCT01258010 Completed - Orthopedic Surgery Clinical Trials

Impact of Tranexamic Acid on Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Spinal Surgery

Start date: April 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Spinal surgery may be associated with substantial blood loss which often requires erythrocyte transfusion. Transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) is not free of adverse events and has been associated with increased risks of infection, and globally higher morbidity and mortality. Different techniques have been used to reduce perioperative blood losses and related transfusions. Tranexamic acid has been used successfully in cardiac and hepatic surgery. However, only a few studies have reported on the use of antifibrinolytic drugs in spinal surgery. This study was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of tranexamic acid in spinal surgery for the reduction of RBC transfusion. Hypothesis: the infusion of tranexamic acid during spinal surgery will reduce the risk of receiving a RBC transfusion and, in those patients transfused, reduce the number of blood products administered.
