About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Goal-directed Fluid Management in Lean and Obese Patients

The investigators propose to determine esophageal Doppler goal-directed fluid requirements in lean, overweight, obese, and morbidly obese patients with the goal of developing a body mass index (BMI)-specific fluid replacement strategy. Specifically, th investigators will test the hypothesis that perioperative fluid requirements on a per-kg basis varies as a function of BMI. Individuals scheduled for elective, open abdominal surgeries, vaginal hysterectomies or genital prolapse repair will be eligible to participate

Read the detailed description

Recent evidence suggests that goal-directed fluid management using stroke volume (blood ejected by the heart) is the most physiologic approach for fluid replacement. We propose to develop a body mass index (BMI)-specific fluid replacement formula based on stroke volume guidance.

Arterial pulse pressure variation (dPP) induced by mechanical ventilation is a proposed predictor of fluid responsiveness as well. We will therefore also investigate if stroke volume (measured by esophageal Doppler monitoring) and pulse pressure variation comparably predict fluid responsiveness by simultaneously measuring both parameters.

Adequate tissue oxygenation is essential to maintain normal physiologic functions. Fat tissue oxygenation is critically low in the obese surgical patient. It is likely that poor fat tissue oxygenation results in part from inadequate fluid replacement. We propose to determine if fat tissue oxygenation is comparable from lean to morbidly obese patients when fluid replacement is optimized.

Individuals scheduled for elective, open abdominal surgeries, vaginal hysterectomies or genital prolapse repair will be assigned to six groups according to BMI, from lean to morbidly obese categories. The primary aim will be to develop a statistical equation for predicting fluid requirements as a function of BMI. A maximum of 100 patients will be able to detect an R-squared of 10% or more with 90% power at the 0.05 significance level, and will enable adequate estimation of the relationship of interest.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esophageal probe in people with Obesity and Abdominal Surgery, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To develop a statistical equation based on the BMI (Body Mass Index) that predicts fluid requirements in individuals scheduled for elective, open abdominal surgeries, vaginal hysterectomies or genital prolapse repair . (time frame: July, 2009). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2017.
