About this study

Official title: The Role of Infusion Pumps in Preventing the Over-Administration of Intravenous Fluid in Pediatric Dental Surgeries

A prospective, analyst-blinded, randomized control trial to assess the incidence of intravenous (IV) fluid over-administration in the setting of pediatric dental surgeries. Anesthetists will be randomized to either administer their IV fluid through an infusion pump or a gravity drip device.

Read the detailed description

In the perioperative setting, IV fluids are administered to mitigate the effects of preoperative fasting and sources of fluid loss that are unique to surgical intervention. Significant harms have been associated with the over-administration of IV fluid in pediatric patients. Infusion pumps have been shown to reduce medication administration errors in inpatients receiving continuous IV infusions. In contrast, laboratory experiments have demonstrated that gravity driven fluid delivery systems are influenced by numerous extrinsic factors. To date, no work has investigated the perioperative incidence of IV fluid over-administration in pediatric patients randomized either to infusion pumps (intervention) or gravity-fed IV systems (control).

What participants receive

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

  • Hospira plum pumpDevice

    The Hospira plum pump enables the clinician to program a specific volume of intravenous fluid and define a period of time over which to administer this fluid.

  • Gravity drip deviceDevice

    Study subjects assigned to this group will receive intravenous fluid via a gravity drip device during their surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average absolute difference between volume prescribed and infused

    Difference in volume originally prescribed and ultimately administered

    Measured: From initiation of intravenous until arrival in the recovery room, up to three hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Volume of intravenous fluid administered

    Volume of fluid received over surgical course (mL/kg/hr)

    Measured: From initiation of intravenous until arrival in the recovery room, up to three hours

  2. Average percent difference between volume prescribed and infused

    Percent difference in volume originally prescribed and ultimately administered

    Measured: From initiation of intravenous until arrival in the recovery room, up to three hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hospira plum pump and Gravity drip device in people with Dental Caries, run by University of Saskatchewan at 1 site in Canada.

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 31 Oct 2018. 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 Canada. 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?

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?

Average absolute difference between volume prescribed and infused (time frame: From initiation of intravenous until arrival in the recovery room, up to three hours). 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 NCT03312452, 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 31 Oct 2018.
