About this study

Official title: Hypertonic Saline Resuscitation for Early Closure of Open Abdomen in Trauma Patients

This study aimed to determine whether hypertonic saline solution is effective in the resuscitation of injured patients undergoing abdominal damage control surgery regarding early closure of the abdominal wall.

Read the detailed description

A double-blind, controlled, randomized clinical trial was conducted to determine the impact of an infusion of hypertonic saline 3% vs. isotonic saline 0.9% at a dose of 50 mL/hr for the first 72 hours in patients with abdominal trauma requiring damage control surgery regarding some clinically relevant outcomes. These outcomes were: The timing of abdominal cavity closure, fluids balance, abdominal hypertension, and abdominal compartment syndrome occurrence, organ dysfunction, and 28 days' mortality.

Being tested
Sodium Chloride [3%], Sodium Chloride [0.9%]

What participants receive

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

  • Sodium Chloride [3%]Drug

    Also called Hypertonic Saline Solution, NaCl

    Patients in this arm will receive an intravenous infusion of 3% hypertonic saline at a 50 cc/hour rate, which will be administered by an infusion pump during the first 72 hours after the damage control surgery. A total of 3600cc will be administered throughout 72 hours ( 1200cc every 24 hours).

  • Sodium Chloride [0.9%]Drug

    Also called Physiologic Saline Solution, Normal Saline

    Patients in this arm will receive an intravenous infusion of 0.9% hypertonic saline at a 50 cc/hour rate, which will be administered by an infusion pump during the first 72 hours after the damage control surgery. A total of 3600cc will be administered throughout 72 hours ( 1200cc every 24 hours).

What is being measured

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

  1. Abdominal wall closure

    Proportion of patients in which closure of abdominal wall was achieved in the first 7 days after injury.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Fluid Balance measured in cm3

    Fluid balance during the first 72 hours after injury.

    Defined as the difference between the amount of fluids taken into the body and the amount excreted or lost. Input includes oral fluids, infused intravenous fluids and blood products. Output includes fluid loss as urine, emesis and wound drainage among others.

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. Incidence of Abdominal compartment syndrome

    Incidence of abdominal compartment syndrome (defined as sustained intra-abdominal pressure > 20 mmHg, accompanied by new organ dysfunction, defined as a score > 2, under the SOFA scale compromising lung, kidney, or heart) during the first 7 days after injury.

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Incidence of Organ Failure

    Incidence of organ failure (defined as SOFA score greater than 2).

    Measured: 7 days

  4. Mortality

    28 day mortality rate

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sodium Chloride [3%] and Sodium Chloride [0.9%] in people with Abdominal Injuries, run by Fundacion Clinica Valle del Lili at 1 site in Colombia.

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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2020. 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 Colombia. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: lack of funds to continue recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Abdominal wall closure (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT02542241, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jun 2020.
