About this study

The purpose of this study is to find out whether perioperative fluid restriction influence on postoperative immunological function. And discuss the probable mechanism that fluid restriction regime effect on clinical data.

Read the detailed description

Perioperative fluid administration is a common therapy in clinical practice, and recent regime has a history about 50 years. Recently, clinicians found that traditional regime had some disadvantages, for example, pulmonary edema, increased cardiac load, increased body weight. And thus, perioperative fluid restriction regimen has been suggested and proved could reduce cardiopulmonary complications and mortality rates after major elective gastrointestinal surgery.

Patients were divided into two groups randomly and underwent restricted fluid regimen or traditional fluid regimen. We determined the complications and immunological function in two groups, and analyzed the relationship between complications and immunological changes. Based on this we decide the probable mechanism that perioperative fluid restriction effects on complications.

What participants receive

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

  • perioperative fluid managementBehavioural

    No preloading of epidural analgesia,7ml/kg lactated ringer's solution was administered in first hour,and 5ml/kg.h during the following hours,and 1000ml of glucose 5% was administered on the rest of the day during operation.1000~1500ml crystalloid was administered on the days following operation

  • perioperative fluid treatmentBehavioural

    500 mL HAES 6% was accepted as preloading of epidural analgesia,12ml/kg.h lactated ringer's solution was administered during the operation ,and 1000ml of glucose 5% was administered on the rest of the day during operation.2000~2500ml crystalloid was administered on the days following operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing perioperative fluid management and perioperative fluid treatment in people with Surgery and Perioperative Care, run by Nanjing PLA General Hospital.

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 9 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 22 Jul 2011. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 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?

clinical perioperative complications (time frame: 30 days after surgery). 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 22 Jul 2011.
