About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Goal-directed Fluid Management in Non-Obese and Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery

The purpose of the study is to compare non-obese patients (BMI≤ 30 kg/m2)versus obese patients (BMI> 30 kg/m2) in regard of their respective needs for intraoperative fluid therapy during laparoscopic surgery.

Specifically the investigators will test the hypothesis that subcutaneous tissue oxygenation (PsqO2)is increased in obese patients when fluid management is optimized by means of esophageal Doppler monitoring compared to obese patients undergoing standard fluid management.

Furthermore the investigators will test the hypothesis that PsqO2 is decreased in obese patients undergoing conventional fluid therapy compared to non-obese patients when fluid management is optimized. Thus the investigators assume that PsqO2 is similar in obese and non-obese patients when fluid management is optimized in both groups.

Read the detailed description

Hemodynamic stability and normovolemia are critical determinants of tissue perfusion and oxygenation. Adequate tissue oxygenation is essential to maintain normal physiologic functions and to reduce complications, such as wound infections.

Fat tissue is relatively hypoperfused and, therefore, poorly oxygenated. Subcutaneous tissue oxygenation in the obese is thus critically low and even supplemental oxygen only slightly increases subcutaneous oxygenation.It is likely that poor subcutaneous oxygenation in the obese surgical patients results in part from inadequate intraoperative fluid replacement.

It remains unknown how to hydrate obese surgical patients best. The most physiologic approach for perioperative fluid replacement is now thought to be goal-directed management, using stroke volume as the treatment parameter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Goal directed fluid therapy in people with Obesity, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2014. 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 Austria. 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 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?

Subcutaneous tissue oxygenation (time frame: intraoperative and 2 postoperative hours). 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 NCT01052519, which also lists 4 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 19 Nov 2014.
