About this study

Official title: Balanced Salt Solution Versus Normal Saline Solution During Initial Resuscitation in Severe Sepsis or Septic Shock Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The Purpose of this study is to determine the impact of balanced salt solution versus chloride rich solution on clinical outcomes in paediatric severe sepsis or septic shock

Read the detailed description

The surviving sepsis campaign guideline recommended the isotonic crystalloids as the first choice of initial fluid resuscitation. The isotonic crystalloids are including chloride-rich solution (eg.NSS) and balanced salt solution. Retrospective study showed normal saline can induced hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury. However, no randomized controlled trial compare efficacy between the balanced salt solution and chloride rich solution.

What participants receive

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

  • Ringer acetateDrug

    Ringer acetate 10-20 ml/kg IV bolus in 15-30 min,repeat bolus as needed by patient status

  • Normal salineDrug

    Also called NSS

    NSS 10-20 ml/kg IV bolus in 15-30 min,repeat bolus as needed by patient status

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ringer acetate and Normal saline in people with Shock, Septic and Sepsis, run by Ramathibodi Hospital at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 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 26 Apr 2017. 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 Thailand. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

incidence of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis (time frame: 48 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 26 Apr 2017.
