Trial summary

Intraoperative intravenous fluid management practice varies greatly between anesthesiologists. Postoperative fluid based weight gain is associated with major morbidity. Postoperative respiratory complications are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and hospital costs. Read more about this study

About this study

Intraoperative intravenous fluid management practice varies greatly between anesthesiologists. Postoperative fluid based weight gain is associated with major morbidity. Postoperative respiratory complications are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and hospital costs. The literature shows conflicting data regarding intraoperative fluid resuscitation volume. No large-scale studies have focused on intraoperative fluid management and postoperative respiratory dysfunction.

Hypotheses:

Primary - Liberal intraoperative fluid resuscitation is associated with an increased risk of 30 day mortality Secondary - Liberal intraoperative fluid resuscitation is associated with increased likelihood of postoperative respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, reintubation, atelectasis, acute kidney injury and peri-extubation oxygen desaturation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    Mortality within 30 days of surgery

    Measured: within 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative pulmonary complications

    The incidence of a diagnosis of pneumonia, respiratory failure, atelectasis or pulmonary edema within 3 days after extubation in the operating room. Cases where these diagnoses were present on the day before surgery were not counted.

    Measured: 3 days after surgery

  2. Acute Kidney Injury

    A Creatinine increase of >0.3mg/dl or 50% from baseline (Creatinine value closest recorded to surgery but within 30 days of surgery) to maximum value measured within 48 hours postoperatively or an ICD-9 diagnosis of AKI within 7 days of surgery but not within 30 days prior to surgery

    Measured: within 48 hours of surgery

  3. Post-extubation oxygen desaturation

    One or more minutes with a blood oxygen saturation below 90% during the first ten minutes after extubation

    Measured: within the first 10 minutes after extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Failure and Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Reintubation, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 2 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 21 Aug 2015. 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?

Mortality (time frame: within 30 days after 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 21 Aug 2015.
