About this study

Official title: Effects of Intraoperative Goal-directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT) on the Postoperative Brain Edema in Neurosurgical Patients With Malignant Supratentorial Gliomas

Whether a fluid protocol aiming for protecting vital organ perfusion or fluid restriction is favorable to post-craniotomy outcomes such as brain edema remains uncertain. To our knowledge, there has been no extensive and quantitative analysis of brain edema following SVV-based GDFT in neurosurgical patients with malignant supratentorial glioma. So the study aims to observe the effect of the stroke volume variation-based GDFT on the postoperative brain edema and decrease the incidence of postoperative complications in neurosurgical patients with malignant supratentorial gliomas.

Being tested
GDFT, traditional fluid therapy
Medical subject headings
Brain Edema, Brain Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • GDFTOther

    Target parameter will be titrated with fluid bolus, and thus individual amount varied depending on the parameter value at that time. Maintenance of oxygenation, hemoglobin, blood glucose, core temperature and hemodynamics, such as mean arterial pressure and heart rate, will be applied according to the same standard for each patient.

  • traditional fluid therapyOther

    Fluid therapy will be done without goal directed. Maintenance of oxygenation, hemoglobin, blood glucose, core temperature and hemodynamics, such as mean arterial pressure and heart rate, will be applied according to the same standard for each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantitative analysis of brain edema

    Postoperative brain edema is defined as edema surrounding the surgical resection cavity, which will be evaluated through CT images.Image evaluators will manually delineate region of interest (ROI) and operative cavity on each slice. The area will be calculated automatically by PACS system. The total volume will be acquired by multiplying area and slice thickness. The volume of edema will be calculated by the totoal volume of edema plus cavity minus the volume of cavity.

    Measured: Within 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The incidence of delirium

    Delirium was assessed twice daily (between 8-10 am and between 6-8 pm) with the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) for critical care patients, or the 3-minute Diagnostic interview for Confusion Assessment Method (3D-CAM) for ward assessments, combined with the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS). Delirium assessments were only conducted in patients with RASS sedation score exceeding -4.

    Measured: During the first 3 postoperative days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GDFT and traditional fluid therapy in people with Fluid Therapy and Brain Edema, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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 24 Mar 2023. 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 China. 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?

Quantitative analysis of brain edema (time frame: Within 24 hours postoperatively). 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 NCT03323580, 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 24 Mar 2023.
