Trial summary

Crystalloid solutions modify acid-base equilibrium according to their electrolyte composition. Moreover, it has been suggested that these alterations are generated by the difference between the solution strong ion difference (SID) and the plasma bicarbonate level. Read more about this study

About this study

Crystalloid solutions modify acid-base equilibrium according to their electrolyte composition. Moreover, it has been suggested that these alterations are generated by the difference between the solution strong ion difference (SID) and the plasma bicarbonate level. An increased risk of acute kidney injury and renal replacement therapy has been associated to the infusion of chloride rich crystalloids. This study aims to compare, in patients with acute respiratory failure undergoing ECMO support, the effects on acid-base status and renal function of crystalloids commonly employed for circuit priming to a balanced solution created with a SID equal to patients' bicarbonate level.

Being tested
Priming of ECMO circuit with 0.9% NaCl, Priming of ECMO circuit with Ringer Lactate, Priming of ECMO circuit with Balanced Solution

    Measured: First 24 hours after ECMO start

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Variation in Acid-Base Equilibrium (pH)

    Measured: First 24 hours after ECMO start

  2. Variation in Renal Function

    Measured: First 24 hours after ECMO start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Priming of ECMO circuit with 0.9% NaCl, Priming of ECMO circuit with Ringer Lactate and Priming of ECMO circuit with Balanced Solution in people with Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda, Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 20 Nov 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 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 Pietro Caironi, MD (+39-02-55033232, pietro.caironi@unimi.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Variation in Acid-Base Equilibrium (Base Excess) (time frame: First 24 hours after ECMO start). 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 20 Nov 2015.
