Blood Loss, Surgical Blood Loss Requiring Transfusion Coagulation Defect; Acquired | Diagnostic Test: Rotational thromboelastometry Other: Conventional treatment | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 0 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | 60 patients having a potentially curative abdomino-oncological surgery and reaching an active blood loss of more than 1500 ml are randomized into two groups. One will be treated conventionally, ie. using MTP if necessary, clinical judgement and conventional coagulation tests, the other treated using a ROTEM-based algorithm. Randomization (ratio 1:1 in blocks of 10) between the two groups will be done beforehand. Each paper containing the treatment protocol in question will be put into a closed envelope. The envelopes are numbered from 1 to 60 and are placed in a box in the operative department. |
Masking: | Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | Participants do not know which group he/she is randomized into. They are under general anaesthesia, thus not knowing which protocol is used. When assessing outcomes, two groups are labeled only by number: the assessor does not know which arm is number 1 or 2 until whole data is analyzed. |

Experimental: ROTEM-arm
Treatment of significant blood loss using point-of-care testing of whole blood viscoelasticity (ROTEM) monitoring coagulopathy or hyperfibrinolysis.

Brief Summary | Need for perioperative blood transfusion is still high in certain types of oncological abdominal surgery. Allogeneic blood transfusion may be detrimental in cancer patients undergoing a potentially curative resection of malignant tumor, although the detailed mechanism of this effect is still under debate. We plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastography-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation intra-operatively decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. 60 patients having a potentially curative pancreaticoduodenectomy (or resection of cauda of pancreas), total removal or partial resection of kidney and open radical cystectomy are recruited when an active blood loss of more than 1500 ml is estimated and/or measured and are randomized into two groups: one will be treated conventionally, ie. using massive transfusion protocol (MTP) if necessary, clinical judgement and conventional coagulation tests, the other treated using a ROTEM-based algorithm. | ||||
