Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designRandomised controlled trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectivesTo determine whether pre-washing red cells affects the serum potassium and lactate levels in young children (<1 year old) who require an irradiated red cell transfusion as part of their open heart surgery.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCongenital heart disease
InterventionA prospective, open label study with each patient randomly assigned to a group. One group will receive unwashed irradiated red cells and the other will receive washed irradiated red cells in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit prime.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Serum lactate and potassium levels.
