Trial summary

There is no objective evidence of how long intravenous solutions remain inside venous blood vessels after they have been administered, therefore there is no definite guideline of how to administer them in the preoperative setting. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Colloid Volume Kinetics in Morbidly Obese Patients Under General Anaesthesia

There is no objective evidence of how long intravenous solutions remain inside venous blood vessels after they have been administered, therefore there is no definite guideline of how to administer them in the preoperative setting. Besides, obese patients represent a particular group of subjects as they theoretically with-hold a constant inflammatory response and that would modify the way solutions behave intravenously, that is how long they remain inside.

Having said this, we wish to describe the way colloid solutions behave in this group of patients by taking serial blood samples in 12 obese patients after a colloid infusion, to calculate plasma dilution curves based on hemoglobin dilution and therefore infer the time it remains intravascularly.

All this in the hope this information will help, in the near future, to establish a more objective way to use these solutions and avoid possible complications due to over-administration.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tetrastarch (130/0.4)OtherIn obese patients candidates to laparoscopic gastrojejunal bypass an infusion of Tetrastarch (130/0.4)) of 15mL/kg (of corrected weight) will be initiated after protocoled induction of general anesthesia. Blood samples will be taken at time 0 (after induction of anesthesia and before initiating infusion) and then every 5 minutes for half an hour and then every 15 minutes up to 90 minutes. Blood samples will be processed in the Institution's laboratory. Urine will be measured at the end of the intervention. With these data kinetic parameters will be estimated for each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. description of colloid volume kinetics in obese patients after the infusion of Tetrastarch (130/0.4)

    different kinetic parameters will be used to asses the behavior of the colloid solution

    Measured: 90 minutes after beginning of the infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tetrastarch (130/0.4) in people with Obesity and Obesity, Morbid, run by National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition, Salvador Zubiran at 1 site in Mexico.

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 7 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 20 Nov 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 Mexico. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Maria V Hernandez Martinez, M.D. (52 55 54 87 09 00 ext. 5020/5021, mvictoria20@me.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

description of colloid volume kinetics in obese patients after the infusion of Tetrastarch (130/0.4) (time frame: 90 minutes after beginning of the infusion). 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 20 Nov 2012.
