Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effectiveness of autologous platelet rich plasma in prevention of hypertrophic scar at the site of sternotomy in children with open heart surgery
Design
Participants in this study are the children who undergo open heart surgery in Shahid Modarres Hospital.Each patient on this trial will be considered as his control.This study counts as a single-blinded study so that the evaluator of the hypertrophic scar's site doesn't know the location of the PRP injection.Based on similar articles, the sample size was measured 50 people.For sampling, the people who have the inclusion criteria enroll in the study,after signing the informed consent.
Settings and conduct
The children who undergo open heart surgery in Shahid Modarres hospital and have the inclusion criteria will enroll in the study.Their wound at the site of midsternotomy is divided into two parts.Then, 0.1 cc of prp per 1cm of wound is injected randomly in one part and normal saline as placebo in the other part.The wound site will be assessed at 2nd,12th and 24th weeks after surgery by a trained personnel who don't know location of prp injection
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Not having diabetes,autoimmune disease and thrombocytopenia;Not receiving glucocorticoids
Intervention groups
Certain amount of blood in accordance with patient wound length is taken from patient via scalp vein,before using anesthetics and anti coagulants .PRP is prepared by an educated person with the help of centrifuge .The midsternal wound is divided into two parts. PRP is injected into lower half and normal saline solution in the other half as a placebo.Thus every patient is considered as control too. The scar at sternum will be evaluated at 2nd, 12th and 24th weeks after the surgery by an educated person not aware of the site of the PRP injection.
Main outcome variables

Blinding description
The patients' wound at the site of mid-sternotomy is divided into upper and lower parts, then 0.1 cc of PRP per 1 cm of wound length is injected in lower part and 0.1 cc of normal saline per 1 cm of wound length as placebo in the other part. Patients' wounds are then assessed at 2nd, 12th and 24th weeks after surgery by another person who does not know the injection site of PRP and placebo , and the hypertrophic scars in both areas is evaluated by using the Vancouver scar scale(VSS).

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group:Before the induction of surgery and injection of anesthetics and anticoagulants, a certain volume of blood in accordance with patient wound length is taken from the patient .PRP is prepared by an educated person with the help of a centrifuge . The midsternal wound is divided into two parts. PRP is injected into lower half and normal saline solution in the other half as a placebo. Thus every patient himself is considered as control too. The scar formed at the wound site will be assessed at 2nd, 12th and 24th weeks after the surgery by an educated person not aware of the site of the PRP injection.
