About this study

Official title: Morbid Obesity and Optimization of Preoperative Fluid Therapy

Preoperative venous return stability and euvolemia is essential in management of morbidly obese patients. Fluid therapy regimes for patients with high BMI, especially with focus on preoperative management, are rare and not in consensus.The aim of this study was to evaluate preoperative effects of a standardized, ideal body weight (IBW) based volume-challenge on hemodynamics, stroke volume and level of venous return to the heart.

Read the detailed description

34 morbidly obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery underwent a preoperative three-week preparation by rapid-weight-loss-diet (RWL) to be accepted for bariatric surgery. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed in the awake state before and after volume-challenge (VC) based on 6ml colloids /kg IBW. Feasibility of standardized VC was evaluated by TTE. Dynamic and non-dynamic echocardiographic indices for VC were studied.

Main outcome measures: Volume-responsiveness and level of venous return before and after volume-challenge were assessed by TTE. An increase of stroke volume ≥ 13% was considered as a volume-responder.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anomaly; Venous Return, run by Umeå University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 4 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 30 Apr 2013. 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 Sweden. 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?

level of venous return (time frame: 0,1 hour). 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 30 Apr 2013.
