About this study

Official title: The Effect of Fluid Management Guided by Pulse Pressure Variation Versus Central Venous Pressure on Extra Vascular Lung Water Assessed by Lung Ultrasound Score During Liver Transplantation. A Randomized Controlled Trial.

the aim in this study to assess the effect of fluid management in patient undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation either by using pulse pressure variation or by central venous pressure. we will assess the impact of fluid management by either methods on oxygenation and extra vascular lung water visualized by lung ultrasound.

Read the detailed description

After induction of anesthesia lung ultrasound will be performed and arterial blood gases (ABG) will be taken.

All patients in both groups will receive maintenance fluid in the form of crystalloids (ringer acetate) 4 ml/kg/H. Then fluid boluses will be given according to each group:

Group c (cvp): will receive 250 ml albumin 5% boluses to maintain CVP around 5 cmH2o Group P (ppv): will receive 250 ml albumin 5% boluses to maintain PPV below 13% as detected from invasive blood pressure monitor.

For all patients in both groups: blood transfusion will be indicated with decreased HB% level below 7 mg/dl in arterial blood gases. Other blood product (FFP, platelets and cryoprecipitate) transfusion will be guided by lab results and clinical status of patient. Plasma will be transfused if INR > 1.5 and platelets will be transfused if count < 50, 000

Lung ultrasound will be performed to diagnose EVLW. A Philips C5 ultrasound system (frequency 5Hz; Philips Medical Systems, Suresnes, France) with an ordinary echo probe will be used. Chest ultrasound will be performed using the 12 regions method. Intercostals spaces on each side will be examined anteriorly (midclavicular line), laterally (anterior axillary line) and posteriorly (posterior axillary line) Four ultrasound aeration patterns a. Normal aeration (N): 0 score ; line sliding sign associated with respiratory movement or less than 3 B lines ; b. Moderate loss of lung aeration: score 1 ; a clear number of multiple visible B-lines with horizontal spacing between adjacent B lines ≤ 7 mm (B7 lines) c. Severe loss of lung aeration: score 2; multiple B lines fused together that were difficult to count with horizontal spacing between adjacent B lines ≤ 3 mm (B3 lines); and d. Pulmonary consolidation: score 3; hyperechoic lung tissue, accompanied by dynamic air bronchogram.

The final LUS of the patient was the sum of each regional ultrasound score (ranging from 0 to 36).

What is being measured

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

  1. lung ultrasound score

    lung score assessed by lung ultrasound to assess lung water. score range from 0 to 36

    Measured: 5 minutes after surgical wound closure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. lung ultrasound score

    lung score assessed by lung ultrasound to assess lung water. score range from 0 to 36

    Measured: baseline 10 minutes after induction. and 1 hour after Intensive care admission

  2. P/F ratio

    ratio of Po2 to fraction of inspired oxygen.

    Measured: baseline 10 min after induction, 5 minutes after surgical wound closure and 1 hour after intensive care admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fluid therapy in people with Lung; Congestive and Liver Transplantation, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 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 17 Jun 2019. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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?

lung ultrasound score (time frame: 5 minutes after surgical wound closure). 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 NCT03243526, which also lists 4 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 17 Jun 2019.
