About this study

The investigators hypothesize that large doses of fluids used during intraoperative could affect lung parenchyma structure and, consequently, gas exchange and respiratory mechanics. The purpose of this study is to evaluate fluids effects on oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, by using two different solutions: crystalloid or colloid.

Read the detailed description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients undergoing elective abdominal, thoracic, vascular surgery
  • minimum age 18 years
  • informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • patients with severe cardiomyopathy or severe heart failure
  • history of coagulation disorders
  • patients with severe cardiovascular or respiratory disorders
  • renal insufficiency

Respiratory mechanic parameters (i.e., inspiratory peak pressure, plateau pressure, total airway resistance, and static compliance) are obtained .Blood samples are drawn simultaneously from the arterial catheters for gas analysis. Data were collected after induction of anesthesia (T0) after 1 h (T1), 2 h (T2), 3 h (T3) and at the end of surgery.

Primary outcome: evaluate the fluids effects on oxygenation, respiratory mechanics

Secondary outcome: Incidence of surgery related complications

Being tested
Group Colloid, Cristalloid administration

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Group ColloidDrug

    Group Colloid: cristalloid 1:2 (gelofusine: ringer lactate)

  • Cristalloid administrationDrug

    Only Ringer Lactate administration

What is being measured

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

  1. effects on oxygenation, respiratory mechanics

    Lung compliance (l/cmH20), Airaway resistance (cmH2O/L/sec) and PaO2 will be measured

    Measured: every 30 minutes till the end of surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of respiratory complications

    Complications like acute respiratory failure, pneumonia and ARDS will be recorded

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Group Colloid and Cristalloid administration in people with Mechanical Ventilation Complication and Actual Impaired Fluid Volume, run by Università degli Studi di Ferrara at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 8 Nov 2016. 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 Italy. 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 Savino Spadaro, researcher (+390532206570, spdsvn@unife.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

effects on oxygenation, respiratory mechanics (time frame: every 30 minutes till the end of surgery). 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 8 Nov 2016.
