Does Modified Ultrafiltration Affect Thromboelastography Results?

Completed
Conditions
Congenital Heart Disease
Registration Number
NCT03214120
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

The study is to evaluate the effect of modified ultrafiltration on different components of Thromboelastography (TEG) in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass.

Detailed Description

The study will be performed at Advocate Children's Hospital, Oak Lawn. All neonates undergoing cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass and modified ultrafiltration will be enrolled. Parents will be consented before surgery.

After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and before starting modified ultrafiltration, a TEG sample will be taken. The components studied are Reaction time (R), Coagulation time (K), Angle, Maximum Amplitude (MA) and whole blood clot lysis index at 30 minutes (LY30). Another TEG sample will be taken after finishing modified ultrafiltration and before protamine is given. The different components will be compared pre and after modified ultrafiltration. The Primary end points are the changes of the different TEG components after modified ultrafiltration. The secondary end points are the utilization of different blood products (packed red cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets transfusion) during and after surgery.
