About this study

Randomized trial to determine if the volume of fluid administration in pediatric patients with DKA impacts the rate of normalization of serum bicarbonate, pH as well as the length of treatment

Read the detailed description

A randomized trial of two initial volumes of IVF and subsequent administration rates. Group I received 10 mL/kg of NS intravenous bolus over the first hour followed by ¾ NS with potassium replacement at 1.25 times maintenance and Group II received 20 mL/kg of NS intravenous bolus over the first hour followed by ¾ NS with potassium replacement at 1.5 times maintenance. The specific variables measured included demographics (age, gender, and race/ethnicity) and routine laboratory values (pH, pCO2, plasma glucose, electrolytes, bicarbonate, sodium, chloride, BUN. Length of treatment was defined as a time of the hospital stay after the start of IVF infusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. time to normalization of bicarbonate and pH

    Laboratory parameters were measured hourly for the first 4 hours, and every 2 to3 hours thereafter until acid-base normalization (pH was above 7.3 or the HCO3 was above 15 mmol/L)

    Measured: start of treatment until resolution of DKA an expected average of 12 to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the length of treatment

    Length of treatment was defined as a time of the hospital stay after the start of IVF infusion

    Measured: discharge from the hospital, an expected average of 1-2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing slow fluid rate and fast fluid rate in people with Diabetes, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 2 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?

time to normalization of bicarbonate and pH (time frame: start of treatment until resolution of DKA an expected average of 12 to 24 hours). 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 NCT01701557, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
