Trial summary

Maintaining a low central venous pressure during living donor hepatectomy is routine practice. The investigators tried to test the hypothesis that using milrinone to maintain a low central venous pressure (CVP) during is associated with a superior surgical field and less blood loss.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. condition of surgical field

    Measured: intraoperative period (from the start of surgery to end of living donor hepatectomy)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the use of vasopressor and diuretics to maintain hemodynamic stability and low CVP status, respectively

    Measured: intraoperative period (from the start of surgery to end of living donor hepatectomy)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing milrinone in people with Hepatectomy, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2009. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

condition of surgical field (time frame: intraoperative period (from the start of surgery to end of living donor hepatectomy)). 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 27 Aug 2009.
