About this study

Official title: Comparison of Traditional (Central Venous Pressure (CVP) and Urine Output Guided) Versus Echocardiography Guided Fluid Management in Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC)

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is performed in patients with peritoneal tumors. Classically, this procedure is prolonged in duration and involves significant fluid shifts. Patients receive a large amount of volume replacement during this procedure (between 10 and 20 liters). The traditional methods to monitor adequacy of volume replacement are measurement of urine output and central venous pressure. There are drawbacks of any method of intravascular volume status measurement which may lead to over or under replacement of fluids. If fluid replacement is underestimated, the patient may suffer from adverse effects such as hypotension and renal dysfunction. However, the excessive administration of fluids may lead to other adverse events, including cardiac dysrhythmias and heart failure. The hypothesis of this study is that patients in whom volume status is maintained by utilizing a transesophageal echocardiogram will have better maintenance of fluid status while avoiding intravascular volume overload.

Read the detailed description

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a procedure in which peritoneal surface tumors are removed followed by infusion of a heated chemotherapeutic solution into the abdominal cavity. This procedure is typically 6-10 hours in duration and is accompanied by significant fluid shifts and hemodynamic changes. Patients frequently receive between 10 and 20 liters of fluid during the procedure. Patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC also experience vasodilatation and a hyperdynamic cardiac state during the hyperthermic period. Classically, the need for volume replacement has been guided by following a patient's urine output (UOP) and the use of central venous pressure (CVP). However, several studies have shown that CVP is not a reliable measure of intravascular fluid status.

We hypothesize that patients undergoing echocardiography guided anesthesia management (EGAM) will receive significantly less fluid during the operative period when compared to more traditional fluid therapy guided by monitoring of urine output and central venous pressure. In addition to the primary endpoint of a decrease in fluid administration, we would predict a decrease in time to extubation, intensive care unit length of stay, hospital length of stay, post operative oxygen requirements, post operative complications including tachyarrhythmias, heart failure and pulmonary edema, and length of time to recovery of bowel function.

Patients presenting for cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC will be randomized into one of two groups, the echocardiography guided fluid management group or the traditional CVP/UOP fluid guided group. For patients in the echocardiography arm, this monitor will be used to optimize preload, contractility, heart rate and cardiac output. Patients in the CVP/UOP arm will receive the current standard of fluid administration to maintain adequate urine output. All patients presenting for the procedure will be offered an opportunity for admission into the study. Exclusion criteria include any absolute contraindications to transesophageal echocardiography, including cervical spine instability, esophageal strictures, webs or rings, patient refusal, esophageal perforation, obstructive esophageal neoplasms (Savage 2004).

A follow-up evaluation will be completed during the remainder of the patient's hospitalization to evaluate the previously discussed endpoints. The goal is to determine the optimal fluid management strategy to decrease morbidity in the post-operative period in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fluid administration decrease

    The amount of fluid administered during the intraoperative period will be monitored and recorded. The outcome measure of interest is the difference between fluid given in the standard group vs the echo guided fluid management group.

    Measured: One day (intraoperative period)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to extubation

    The amount of time for participants to be extubated

    Measured: An average of up to two weeks

  2. Intensive care unit and hospital length of stay

    Duration of stay in intensive care and overall time in hospital

    Measured: An average of up to two weeks

  3. Post operative oxygen requirements

    The need, level and duration of any required post-operative oxygen

    Measured: An average of up to two weeks

  4. Cardiac complications

    Post operative cardiac complications including tachyarrhythmias, heart failure and pulmonary edema

    Measured: An average of up to two weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Echocardiogram in people with Peritoneal Neoplasms and Echocardiography Guided Fluid Management, run by University of Nebraska.

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 3 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 14 Aug 2023. 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.

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?

Fluid administration decrease (time frame: One day (intraoperative period)). 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 14 Aug 2023.
