About this study

Official title: Effect of Goal-Directed Intraoperative Fluid Therapy on Outcomes Following Laparotomy of Gynecological Malignancies and Orthopedic Surgery

This study is aim to assess the effect of goal-directed intraoperative fluid therapy on patient's postoperative incidence rates of complications, length of hospitalization and hospitalization cost.

This is an observational study followed cohort study design, due to the two therapies were not randomized assigned to the two cohorts. The details are described as follow.

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted in patients undergoing either elective laparotomy of gynecological malignancies or elective major orthopaedic surgery under prone position in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The study included two stages.

In the first stage, one cohort of 300 participants with conventional fluid therapy will be involved, in which 150 patients will be selected with laparotomy of gynecological malignancies and150 patients will be selected with orthopedic surgery. All the participants in this stage will follow conventional fluid therapy to direct the amount of intraoperative fluid. Specifically, the fluid will be administered based on the principle crystalloid solution (colloid solution =2-3:1). The total volume of fluid will be adjusted in accordance with blood pressure, heart rate and urine output of each patient. It is a standard procedure in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Then, the incidence of postoperative complications of each group will be recorded. In addition, sample size will be estimated based on above study's results (estimated 100 participants).

In the second stage, goal-directed therapy will be applied to another cohort of 300 participants, in which 150 patients undergoing laparotomy of gynecological malignancies and 150 patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Specifically, the fluid will be administered based upon real-time monitoring stroke volume variation and cardiac output achieved by the Flo-Trac monitoring system. The incidence of postoperative complications of each group will be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative complications

    the incidence of complications related to surgeries 30 days postoperatively. The complications include pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, heart failure), wound infection, gastrointestinal bleeding,nausea and vomitting,postoperative hemorrhage, ileus, deep venous thrombosis, cerebral infarction, cerebral embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, renal insufficiency and failure. Those complications are defined strictly to the reference published in 2009 New England Journal of Medicine (N Engl J Med. 2009 Oct 1;361:1368-75)

    Measured: 30 days after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. hospital length of stay

    the length of stay in hospital,from the hospitalized date to the leave date

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days

  2. hospital expenses

    total cost in hospital

    Measured: 30 days after the 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?

postoperative complications (time frame: 30 days after the 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 NCT02470221, which also lists 6 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 May 2019.
