ORthopaedic Trauma Anemia With Conservative Versus Liberal Transfusion (ORACL)
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Transfusion of Orthopaedic trauma patients is routinely done in asymptomatic individuals as there is no accepted national standard or recommendations from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons or the Orthopaedic Trauma Association for what level of anemia is appropriate in an asymptomatic patient. Individual practitioners typically make this decision based on anecdotal experiences and expert opinion. No prospective study has been performed to date to answer this question in this patient population.
The null hypothesis of this proposed pilot study is that no difference will be seen with a liberal transfusion strategy to keep a patient's hemoglobin above 7 g/dL versus a conservative strategy to keep the patient's hemoglobin above 5.5 g/dL in patients asymptomatic at rest. The primary outcome of this pilot study will be infection; defined as postoperative wound infection (superficial or deep) or other perioperative infection but not surgical site (urinary tract infection or pneumonia). Deep infection is defined as the need for intravenous antibiotics or a return to surgery for debridement. Superficial infection is defined as the use of oral antibiotics only successfully treat a surgical site infection. Secondary outcomes will include pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, acute renal failure or insufficiency, nonunion, delayed union, compartment syndrome, osteomyelitis, nerve palsy, anoxic brain injury, cardiac ischemia or infarct, pancreatitis, or death, and the musculoskeletal functional assessment.

Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Trauma patients admitted to participating hospital with any Orthopaedic injury who have been determined to be stable by the Trauma Service (General Surgery) and are no longer within the resuscitation phase of initial treatment. This is defined as a normal urine output (greater than 0.5 ml/kg/hr) and a systolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg for greater than 6 hours without fluid bolus or transfusion during that time
- Age 18-50
- Hemoglobin less than 9 g/dL or expected drop below 9 g/dL with planned surgery
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant ( urine pregnancy test will be done as standard of care)
- Prisoner
- Head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale less than 8 over 48 hours from presentation)
- Known cardiac (coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, stent placement, congestive heart failure), renal (acute or chronic renal insufficiency or failure, defined as having Serum Creatinine >1.2 at time of enrollment), liver (Childs C cirrhosis) or pulmonary disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, abnormal pulmonary function tests or history of poor pulmonary function from any cause including acute traumatic conditions such as ARDS)
- Unlikely to follow up in the surgeon's estimation
- Sickle Cell Anemia
- History of cancer
- Preexisting weakness, paresthesias, deformities, or other conditions which might affect functional outcome in the surgeon's opinion
- Spinal cord injury
- Patients with burns expected to require operative treatment
- COVID positive

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: Liberal
Blood and blood products for transfusion.
Transfusion will be done to keep Hgb >7 g/dL.
|
Randomization would not occur until the patient's Hgb dropped below 7 g/dL.
If the patient is randomized to the liberal arm, they would be transfused to keep their Hgb >7 g/dL.
If the patient is randomized to the conservative arm, they would not be transfused until their Hgb drops below 5.5 g/dL.
If the patient's Hgb does not drop below 7.0 g/dL, randomization will not be done.

Other: Conservative
Blood and blood products for transfusion.
Transfusion will be done to keep Hgb > 5.5 g/dL.
|
Randomization would not occur until the patient's Hgb dropped below 7 g/dL.
If the patient is randomized to the liberal arm, they would be transfused to keep their Hgb >7 g/dL.
If the patient is randomized to the conservative arm, they would not be transfused until their Hgb drops below 5.5 g/dL.
If the patient's Hgb does not drop below 7.0 g/dL, randomization will not be done.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Postoperative Wound Infection (Superficial or Deep) or Other Perioperative Infection
Time Frame: one year
|
Deep infection is defined as the need for intravenous antibiotics and/or a return to surgery for debridement.
Superficial infection is defined as clinical diagnosis of cellulitis or other superficial infection treated with oral antibiotics only.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Combined Secondary Outcomes
Time Frame: one year
|
Combined (any) Secondary Outcomes: pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis, acute renal failure or insufficiency, nonunion, delayed union, compartment syndrome, osteomyelitis, nerve palsy, anoxic brain injury, cardiac ischemia or infarct, pancreatitis, or death.
|
one year
|
Musculoskeletal Function Assessment
Time Frame: one year
|
The Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (MFA) evaluates the health status of patients with musculoskeletal disorders of the extremities, including patients with fractures and soft tissue injuries, repetitive motion disorders, osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
It describes patient functioning, assesses outcomes of surgical interventions and clinical trials, and monitors patients' functional status over time.
The MFA is scored from 0 to 100 with 0 representing no dysfunction.
Higher MFA scores/values represent a higher levels of dysfunction or worse outcome.
