ProPBM : A Modified Patient Blood Management Protocol

Not Applicable
Conditions
Iron-deficiency
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03888768
Lead Sponsor
Ministry of Health, Malaysia
Brief Summary

The introduction of a modified perioperative patient blood management protocol with intravenous iron intervention for iron deficiency anaemic patients would reduce the need for allogenic blood transfusion and reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Detailed Description

Patient blood management (PBM), refers to "the timely application of evidence based medical and surgical concepts designed to maintain haemoglobin concentration, optimise haemostasis and minimize blood loss in an effort to improve patient outcome.

PBM relies on three corresponding aspects:

1. Optimising haemopoiesis,

2. Minimising bleeding and blood loss

3. Harnessing and optimising physiological tolerance of anaemia.

Therefore, this randomised control trial aims to study the effect of applying a modified patient blood management protocol on the perioperative allogenic blood transfusion incidence, mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing major surgery in gynaecology, intraabdominal surgery and orthopaedics comparing with current practice.

GroupInterventionDescription
ProPBMMonoFerPre-operative: patient will be screened for iron deficiency and anemia and administered IV monofer Intra-operative:IV tranexamic Acid 1gm will be administered at the beginning of surgery and blood transfusion triggered by Allowable blood loss Post-operative: IV Iron monofer will be given to those with estimated blood loss \>1L and subsequent post operative follow up till 6month
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of perioperative allogenic blood transfusion.Participants will be followed from date of hospital entry until date of discharge up to 6 months

To assess the incidence of allogenic blood transfusion occurring within the total length of hospital stay within the same admission of a surgical procedure performed under general or regional anaesthesia

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of Life of patientpreoperative (baseline), one month, six month

To assess patient's quality of life using Short Form (12) Health Survey(SF-12) is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 consists of eight domain scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability.

Mortality rateParticipants will be followed up expected till 6 months

To assess the incidence of mortality after surgery in both ProPBM arm and standard arm

Total hospital stayParticipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2 weeks

Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay

Change in haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations from baselinePreoperative basline and one day before surgery after MonoFer administration expected up to 2 weeks

To assess the extent of increase in preoperative hemoglobin levels(baseline) and hemoglobin level one day before surgery, after the administration of IV MonoFer in ProPBM arm

Postoperative MorbidityDay one postoperative, postoperative one week,postoperative one month, postoperative six month

To assess postoperative morbidity using Postoperative Morbidity Survey(POMS).Patients are assessed for diagnostic features in nine domains (pulmonary, infectious, renal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, haematological, wound and pain). For each domain, either presence or absence of morbidity is recorded on the basis of objective criteria.
