Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleOptimal blood management in elective orthopaedic surgery: the Transfusion "Op Maat" (TOMaat) study
Study acronymTOMaat
Study objectivesDoes the use of alternatives to allogeneic blood (erythropoietin or reinfusion of autologous shed blood intra- and/or post-operatively) for patients undergoing elective total knee- or hip replacement surgery lead to continuous sparing of allogeneic blood if a restrictive transfusion policy is in operation?

As of 05/06/2009 this record has been updated to include an amended anticipated end date; the initial end date at the time of registration was 31/12/2008.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTotal Knee Replacement (TKR)/Total Hip Replacement (THR)
InterventionStratification depending on the pre-operative Hemoglobin (Hb) level:
Stratum I: Hb greater than 6.1 mmol/L or less than 8.2 mmol/L (eligible for Epo randomisation)
Stratum II: Hb less than 6.2 mmol/L or greater than 8.1 mmol/L (not eligible for Epo)

Patients in both strata will be sequentially randomised for:
1. No use of autologous wound-drained blood (control group)
2. Post-operative retransfusion of wound-drained blood, or
3. Peri-operative use of the cell saver with post-operative retransfusion of wound-drained blood

Enrolment for this trial was completed on 31/10/2008.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measureNumber of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in the following blood management strategies:
1. Comparison of Epo versus no Epo
2. Comparison of cell saver versus no cell saver
3. Comparison of drain system versus no drain system, independent of cell saver
Secondary outcome measures1. Post-operative complications
2. Length of hospital stay (LOHS)
3. Post-operative Hb/haematocrit (Hct)
4. Rehabilitation time
5. Mobility and functional abilities of knee-or hip
6. Quality of life scores
7. Costs analysis
