Read the detailed description

The implementation of this project will improve the effectiveness of surgical treatment and reduce the level of complications and mortality among patients with heart failure and heart failure in the terminal stage.

2.2. The goal of the program. Improvement of organ-substituting technologies in the treatment of heart and respiratory failure.

2.3. Objectives of the program. Objective 1. To study the restoration of organ function during implantation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), as an organ replacement, in cardiac and/or respiratory failure.

Subtask 1.1. Evaluation of the recovery of organ function during ECMO using extracorporal hemo correction procedure.

Subtask 1.2. Evaluation of the normalization of the organism's immune response and restoration of organ function when conducting ECMO using the extracorporeal cytokine adsorber.

Subtask 1.3. Evaluation of the normalization of the organism's immune response and restoration of organ function when conducting ECMO using the extracorporeal hemoperfusion cartridge.

Objective 2. To study the results of applying organ-substituting technologies in the treatment of sepsis.

Subtask 2.1. Assessment of the recovery of organ function in the application of extracorporal hemo correction in septic patients.

Subtask 2.2. Evaluation of the normalization of the organism immune response and restoration of organ function when using the extracorporeal cytokine adsorber in septic patients.

Subtask 2.3. Evaluation of the normalization of the organism's immune response and restoration of organ function when using the extracorporeal hemoperfusion cartridge.

In this study, will be developed methods to restore the function of affected organs after implantation of ECMO and patients with sepsis in combination with extracorporeal hem correction, which will improve the results of surgical treatment of patients with end-cardiac and respiratory failure.

New methods developed to restore the function of affected organs after implantation of mechanical support devices and patients with sepsis will be of great importance both for Kazakhstan and for countries with similar categories of patients, which will improve the efficiency of surgical treatment and reduce the level of complications and mortality.

Clinical research data will form the basis of practical protocols for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and patients with sepsis, which will improve organ repair, reduce postoperative complications, improve quality of life and reduce mortality after surgery.

Research methods and ethical issues Patients before implantation of ECMO and/or patients with sepsis will be enrolled in the study after giving a written, signed informed consent.

The participants will be randomized into 3 groups:

  • Intervention group #1 a cytokine adsorber will be used (30 patients): patients on ECMO - subgroup A; septic patients - subgroup B.
  • Intervention group #2 an extracorporeal hemoperfusion cartridge will be used (30 patients): patients on ECMO - subgroup C, septic patients - subgroup D.
  • Control group #3 without using extracorporeal adsorber (30 patients): patients on ECMO subgroup - E, septic patients - subgroup F.

The investigators will collect demographic, clinical, and laboratory data about patients before, during, and after the operation The incidence of early cellular or humoral rejection, length of ventilation, ICU and hospital stay, the use of vasopressors and inotropes in the perioperative period, and incidence of perioperative complications and survival will be documented.

The level of cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-alfa) and complements before, during, and after the use of ECMO, patients with sepsis will be determined if the investigators find the relevant differences between the two groups in clinical variables.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
