About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial With Deltex CardioQ in Elective Bowel Resection Patients

The purpose of this study is:

  • To determine if the intraoperative fluid administration with the Deltex CardioQ esophageal Doppler will reduce the length of stay after elective bowel resection.
  • The probe can be used to dynamically measure stroke volume and cardiac output. This information will assist us in determining the ideal amount of fluids to be administered.
  • To determine if the fluid administration established by the esophageal probe will result in a shorter length of stay in elective bowel resection patients.
  • The investigators plan to enroll 100 patients in this study.
Read the detailed description

Intraoperative goal-directed IV fluid administration utilizing an esophageal Doppler as a guide to measuring the amount of fluid by looking into the stroke volume to determine if there is too little or too much fluid. It has been shown that inadequate fluid administration is a cause of increased morbidity and length of stay after elective bowel resection. However, there are no data evaluating the Doppler's use in the postoperative period, only intraoperatively. Our objective is to evaluate whether postoperative goal-directed fluid management with the Deltex CardioQ esophageal Doppler probe leads to shorter hospital stay in elective bowel resection patients. All consecutive patients randomized into the 'standard fluid' group and the 'goal-directed fluid' group. All will follow standard surgical postoperative care with the exception of fluid administration. If eligible, all patients will receive an epidural catheter for pain control. The 'goal-directed fluid' group will have a Deltex CardioQ probe placed nasally in the operating room by the anesthesia team, and fluid management will be administered via anesthesia protocol. The 'standard fluid' group will not receive the Deltex CardioQ probe.Patients in the 'goal-directed fluid' group will receive fluids according to body weight for the first 24 hours. The probe will be evaluated every15 minutes in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit and measurements will be taken to determine whether fluids will be given to the patient.On the surgical floor, patients in the 'goal-directed fluid' group will be evaluated every 8 hours and fluids will be given if necessary according to measurements taken via the probe.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Deltex CardioQ ProbeDevice

    Deltex CardioQ probe will be placed nasally in the operating room by the anesthesia team and fluid management will be administered via anesthesia protocol.

Study groups in NCT01244685
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
probeActive comparatorPatients in the 'goal-directed fluid' Lactated Ringers solution according to ideal body weight for the first 24 hours. The fluids will be changed after the first 24 hours and continued until the patient is tolerating a regular diet. The Deltex CardioQ esophageal probe will be evaluated every 15 minutes in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) by the Anesthesia service. Stroke Volume (SV), Flow Time Corrected (FTc), and Peak Velocity (PV) will be measured. A short FTc (<330 ms) indicative of hypovolemia will receive a 3cc/kg fluid challenge with Lactated Ringers crystalloid solution over 5 minutes. A SV increase of >10% will receive a further 3cc/kg fluid challenge. A SV increase of <10% will not receive further fluid challenge.
Receives: Device: Deltex CardioQ Probe
Standard FluidNo interventionPatients in the 'standard fluid' group will receive Lactated Ringers solution for 24 hours post-operatively at 1 times maintenance rate according to ideal body weight. Then the fluids will be changed to physiologic maintenance with D5½NS at the same rate. Fluids will be decreased by ½ once the patient is tolerating a clear liquid diet, and then discontinued once the patient is tolerating a regular diet.

What is being measured

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

  1. Length of stay

    Length of hospital stay from day of admission to day of discharge

    Measured: at Discharge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determining the ideal amount of fluids to be administered

    • The probe can be used to dynamically measure stroke volume and cardiac output. This information will assist us in determining the ideal amount of fluids to be administered.

    Measured: During and post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Deltex CardioQ Probe in people with 1 Fluid Management, run by Stony Brook University 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 3 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: finished, 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.

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 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?

Length of stay (time frame: at Discharge). 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 5 Oct 2012.
