Trial summary

During major surgical procedures, intravascular volume is maintained with the administration of isotonic fluids such as Lactated Ringers (LR), Normal Saline (NS) or Normosol-R. All three of these fluids are in common clinical use for this purpose. Read more about this study

About this study

During major surgical procedures, intravascular volume is maintained with the administration of isotonic fluids such as Lactated Ringers (LR), Normal Saline (NS) or Normosol-R. All three of these fluids are in common clinical use for this purpose. As large volumes of NS may result in a dilutional acidosis and an increasing base deficit, it may cloud clinical decision making when resuscitative efforts are guided by acid-base status on routine arterial blood gas analysis. This is a prospective, randomized study to evaluate changes in acid-base and electrolyte (sodium, potassium, calcium) status with the use of various isotonic fluids for intraoperative resuscitation.

    IV infusion of 0.9% NaCl throughout surgery.

  • Lactated RingerDrug

    IV infusion of lactated ringer throughout surgery.

  • Normosol-R InjDrug

    IV infusion of Normosol throughout surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Base Deficit

    Change in base deficit from 1st to 2nd blood gas to measure metabolic acidosis

    Measured: During surgery (typically 4-6 hrs in length)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Sodium

    Change in sodium electrolyte from 1st to 2nd blood gas

    Measured: During surgery (typically 4-6 hrs in length)

  2. Change in Potassium

    Change in potassium electrolyte from 1st to 2nd blood gas

    Measured: During surgery (typically 4-6 hrs in length)

  3. Change in Ionized Calcium

    Change in calcium electrolyte from 1st to 2nd blood gas

    Measured: During surgery (typically 4-6 hrs in length)

  4. Change in pH

    Change in pH from 1st to 2nd blood gas

    Measured: During surgery (typically 4-6 hrs in length)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Normal Saline, Lactated Ringer and Normosol-R Inj in people with Anesthesia, run by Nationwide Children's 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 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 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Mar 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Base Deficit (time frame: During surgery (typically 4-6 hrs in length)). 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 25 Mar 2020.
