About this study

Official title: Restrictive Versus Liberal Intraoperative Goal-directed Fluid Management During Major Abdominal Surgery:a Prospective Randomized Study

Postoperative organ dysfunction severely affects the prognosis of surgical patients. Despite several trials evaluating restrictive or liberal fluid strategies, the ideal fluid replacement strategy remains controversial. Owing to the risk of altered tissue perfusion, a key trigger of organ dysfunction, the purpose of this study was to compare the influence of restrictive and liberal fluid regimens, using a goal-directed approach, on hypovolemia and postoperative organ dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

Despite several trials evaluating restrictive or liberal fluid strategies, the ideal fluid replacement strategy remains unanswered. Although recent studies suggest that intraoperative fluid restriction may reduce postoperative morbidity and promote faster recovery, extrapolation to individual patients remains difficult. Indeed, whether fluid overload may expose tissue to oedema, impairing oxygenation and wound healing, fluid restriction may, conversely, expose to hypovolemia, which occurs frequently during abdominal surgery, leading to tissue hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction. To date, the restrictive and liberal fluid substitution strategies have not been compared using a goal-directed approach. In addition, recent data suggest that targeting early indicators of hypoperfusion, such as central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), which reflects the oxygen delivery/consumption relationship, may be important in the management of patients undergoing major surgery. No data are available on the effects of intraoperative fluid volume replacement strategy on ScvO2 modifications.

The purpose of this study is first to evaluate the influence of restrictive and liberal fluid replacement strategies on both hypovolemia and postoperative organ dysfunction using an oesophageal doppler goal-directed approach (with goal = peak aortic velocity variation and stroke volume optimization) during major abdominal surgery. The second objective is to investigate the effects of fluid loading on ScvO2 modifications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing restrictive and liberal fluid therapy in people with Hypovolemia and Organ Dysfunction, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

incidence of intraoperative hypovolemia (time frame: intraoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00852449, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Oct 2012.
