Scientific titleClinical relevance of cardiotomy blood salvage during cardiopulmonary bypass: a randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesBlood collected in the pericardial wall during cardiopulmonary bypass (cardiotomy blood) is a contributor to diffuse neurologic injury after cardiac surgery. This effect may be ameliorated by the processing of the blood such that only the red cell component is returned, however this step may compound bleeding after heart surgery due to loss of coagulation factors.

Objective:
To evaluate the effects of cardiotomy blood centrifugation & filtration on:
1. Intra- and post-operative blood loss and homologous transfusion requirements
2. Neuropsychologic deficits following CPB
3. Early pulmonary function & gas exchange after CPB
Ethics approval(s)University of Ottawa Heart Institute Human Research Ethics Board-HREB approved on the 1st June 2001
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCoronary Artery Disease - Cardiopulmonary bypass
InterventionThe control group receives the current practice of cardiotomy blood re-infusion during the operation. The experimental group is re-infused with centrifugally washed blood, which is passed through an additional lipid/leukocyte filter.

Trial details received: 12 Sept 2005
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. The proportion of patients requiring one or more red cell transfusions during hospital stay
2. Incidence of cognitive deficits at 5 - 7 days
Secondary outcome measures1. Blood loss (protamine administration to chest closure and first 24 hours)

Within 3 - 5 days after surgery:
2. Total non-red cell transfusion requirements (blood factors, platelets)
3. Pulmonary function after CPB (pulmonary vascular resistance, A-a gradient, pO2 after CPB, shunt, dynamic pulmonary compliance, oxygen delivery index, oxygen extraction rate)
4. Incidence of emboli during CPB by trans-cranial Doppler (TCD)
5. Quality of life at 3 months
6. Cognitive deficits at 3 months
Overall study start date01/10/2001
Completion date31/03/2006
