About this study

Official title: Goal-Directed Fluid Management Based on Non- Invasive Monitoring of Pulse Oximeter-Derived Pleth Variability Index

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether goal directed fluid management using respiratory variations in the oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2) waveform has potential to decrease postoperative complications and outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that monitoring and minimizing the respiratory variations in the pulse oximeter waveform amplitude by volume loading has potential to decrease postoperative morbidity and length of stay in the hospital in patients undergoing routine, moderate-risk elective surgery.

In this study the investigators will test the impact of hemodynamic optimization based on the respiratory variations in the plethysmographic waveform amplitude to decrease postoperative morbidity and length of stay in the hospital in patients undergoing routine, moderate-risk elective surgery. The primary outcome variable is the incidence of postoperative complications. Secondary outcome variables are the duration of hospital and ICU stays, postoperative mortality, and cost of surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of hospital stay

    The length of stay in the hospital is defined as postoperative number of days in the hospital until discharge.

    Measured: Maximum 90 days after surgery

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?

Duration of hospital stay (time frame: Maximum 90 days after surgery). 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 NCT01883752, which also lists 10 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?
