About this study

Vascular access in patients carries a significant risk of accidental extravasation of intravenous (IV) fluids and medications with the potential for tissue injury. This prospective controlled study assessed the diagnostic utility of using intravenous diluted sodium bicarbonate to confirm placement of IV catheters in volunteers . Diluted sodium bicarbonate or 0.9% normal saline, will be injected in a randomized order while end-tidal carbon dioxide in the exhaled air will be monitored. The investigators hypothesize that the injected bicarbonate will dissolve into carbon dioxide and water and cause a transient increase in the measured exhaled CO2.

The effect is unique to bicarbonate and will not appear once normal saline is injected. the safety of the administration of bicarbonate on the metabolic profile of the volunteers will be assessed by measurement of venous blood pH and electrolytes.

Vascular access in patients carries a significant risk of accidental extravasation of intravenous (IV) fluids and medications with the potential for tissue injury. This prospective controlled study assessed the diagnostic utility of using intravenous diluted sodium bicarbonate to confirm placement of IV catheters in volunteers . Diluted sodium bicarbonate or 0.9% normal saline, will be injected in a randomized order while end-tidal carbon dioxide in the exhaled air will be monitored. The investigators hypothesize that the injected bicarbonate will dissolve into carbon dioxide and water and cause a transient increase in the measured exhaled CO2. Arbitrary increase of more than 10%in end-tidal carbon dioxide is considered as a positive response.

The effect is unique to bicarbonate and will not appear once normal saline is injected. the safety of the administration of bicarbonate on the metabolic profile of the volunteers will be assessed by measurement of venous blood pH and electrolytes.

What is being measured

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

  1. transient increase in end tidal carbon dioxide

    Once sodium bicarbonate is injected the measured end-tidal carbon dioxide will transiently increase by at least 10% of baseline

    Measured: 4-12 seconds

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in venous blood pH

    Blood pH and will be measured prior and ten minutes after the injections

    Measured: 10-20 minutes

  2. Subjective adverse symptoms associated with injection of sodium bicarbonate

    The subjective symptoms as well as hemodynamic changes associated with the injection of sodium bicarbonate will be recorded

    Measured: 1 minute

  3. change in venous blood sodium

    blood sodium level will be measured before and 10-20 minutes after the end of the injections.

    Measured: 10- 20 minutes

  4. change in venous blood bicarbonate level

    blood level of bicarbonate will be measured before and 10-20 minutes after the injection.

    Measured: 10-20 minutes

  5. change in venous blood potasium level

    venous blood potasium level will be measured before and 10-20 minutes after injection

    Measured: 10-20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing sodium bicarbonate 4.2%, diluted sodium bicarbonate 2.1% and normal saline in people with Infiltration and Extravasation, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2011. 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 Israel. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact ILAN KEIDAN, MD (972-3-5302754, ilan.keidan@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

transient increase in end tidal carbon dioxide (time frame: 4-12 seconds). 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 NCT01458873, which also lists 2 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 1 Nov 2011.
