Study summary

The purpose of this study is evaluate the effect of prophylactic desmopressin on blood coagulation parameters and postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing valve cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Read the detailed description

Patients with important valve disorders may evaluate with coagulopathy induced by mechanical effects (valvular stenosis or valvular insufficiency). Furthermore, frequently is required prophylactic use of antiplatelet drugs due to myocardial remodeling and antiarrhythmic conditions that may be associated. Patients with severe aortic stenosis may also acquired von Willebrand disease type 2A due to proteolysis of vonWillebrand factor. Despite of this, the treatment of valve disorders often requires cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. On average 50 to 60% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery receive blood tranfusions. Blood cell transfusion is an independent risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. The use of desmopressin seems beneficial only in patients with congenital or acquired platelet dysfunction. In general population, such use is not validated due to inconclusive results of researches.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    desmopressin

    Patients randomized to this group receive desmopressin 0,3 microgram.kg-1 as an intravenous infusion given during 20 min.

    Drug: Desmopressin

  • Placebo comparator
    Placebo

    Patients randomized to the control group will receive the infusion of 100 mL 0.9% saline (SF0,9%).

    Drug: Placebo

Interventions

  • DrugDesmopressin

    Desmopressin is to be administered as an intravenous infusion after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass and administration of protamine. Subjects are to be given desmopressin 0,3 microgram.kg-1. After desmopressin infusion, bleeding treatment will follow the predefined standardized treatment regimen.

  • DrugPlacebo

    0.9% saline is to be administered as an intravenous infusion after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass and administration of protamine. Patients randomized to the control group will receive the infusion of 100 milliliters (mL) 0.9% saline (SF0,9%). After 0.9% saline infusion, bleeding treatment will follow the predefined standardized treatment regimen.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in coagulation parameters

    Laboratory variables: Activated partial thromboplastin time \[(aPTT) seconds\], prothrombin time \[(PT) seconds\], haematocrit (%), haemoglobin(g/dl), fibrinogen(mg/dL), D dimer (ng/L), factor VIII(%), Von Willebrand factor(%), ROTEM \[(INTEM, EXTEM, FIBTEM) Clotting Time (CT) and Clot Formation Time (CFT) seconds, alpha angle (α º), Maximum Clot Firmness (MCF) mm \] and platelets aggregation (%)

    Time frame: Coagulation parameters will be performed: T0: preoperative period; T1 - 2 hours after desmopressin or placebo administration; T2 - 24 hours after desmopressin or placebo administration

  2. Postoperative blood loss

    Total chest tube drainage (mL) starting immediately after closure of the chest in the operating theater until 48 hours

    Time frame: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood transfusion

    Number of units of red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma,platelets, cryoprecipitate in the operating theater and ICU

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. Reoperation for bleeding

    Time frame: 30 days

  3. Duration of Mechanical ventilation

    Time frame: 30 days

  4. Length of vasoactive drugs

    Time frame: 30 days

  5. Length of ICU stay

    Time frame: 30 days

  6. Clinical complications - renal failure, infection, myocardial ischemia, stroke

    Time frame: 30 days

  7. Length of hospital stay

    Time frame: 30 days

  8. Mortality

    Time frame: 30 days
