简要总结
The study is a pilot study, which involves cardiothoracic patients. Patients, who are scheduled for elective cardiosurgical procedure, will be seen in multidisciplinary anesthesia/Patient Blood Management (PBM) clinic and screened for anemia prior to surgery. Anemic patients will eventually be treated with 500mg of ferric carboxymaltose 1 to 4 days prior to surgery. A high blood loss is expected in these procedures (>500ml). Blood is collected and re-transfused to the patient via use of cell savers/ autologous blood restoration. The investigators will examine how fast intravenous ferric carboxymaltose is stored within the iron storage cells of the body, and how much remains within the patients blood at the time point of surgery. Next, the investigators will assess the wash out effect of iron via cell salvage. The hypothesis of this trial is that ferric carboxymaltose is washed out of the collected patient's blood by cell caver usage (Wash-Out Effect).
详细描述
Because of the short time frame between iron therapy to procedure in cardiac surgery due to the need to perform cardiac revascularization, the investigators aim to investigate how much of the iron compound ferric carboxymaltose is being stored within the iron storage cells of the human body, and how much remains in the patient's own blood at the time point of surgery. The terminal elimination half-life time of ferric carboxymaltose is known to be approximately 7.1 to 12.1 hours, with peak serum ferritin levels at 48h to 120h after administration. When high blood loss in a surgical procedure is expected, such as in cardiosurgical procedures, the usage of autologous cell salvage, so called "Cell Saver", is considered standard, good practice. The blood that is lost during surgery is collected and after a specified blood separation wash, being retransfused in form of concentrated red blood cells.
This trial aims to examine whether Cell Saver usage might recover high molecular iron complexes such as ferric carboxymaltose lost by bleeding intraoperatively or wash out these molecules.
If amount of lost blood during surgery is too low, that Cell Saver usage would not be possible otherwise, averagely 300ml of blood from the heart-lung machine are added to the cell saver to enable the process of cell saver use.
For each participant, 7 samples will be taken. The samples include patient's blood samples and samples from cell saver compartments (Washing solution, concentrates) as well as from the heart-lung-machine, in detail:
- arterial patient's blood, preoperative, day of procedure, prior to surgery
- blood from the heart-lung machine, intraoperative 30 minutes prior to end of use of the heart-lung machine, day of procedure
- Cell Saver: washed-out compounds, intraoperative, after end of use of heart-lung machine, day of procedure
- Cell Saver: produced red blood cell concentrate, intra- or postoperative, after end of use of heart-lung machine, day of procedure
- arterial patient's blood, postoperative, day of procedure
- venous patient's blood, 3. day postoperative
- venous patient's blood, 7. day postoperative
