About this study

Official title: Common Clinical Indices-guided Bolus-based vs. Continuous Fluid Management A Prospective, Randomized Trial

Fluid therapy is a cornerstone in patient therapy perioperatively. Many studies have addressed the amount of fluid administered (restrictive vs liberal strategies). Other studies focused on the type of fluids (colloid vs crystalloids), and in the last twenty years a more common subject of research was- the correct evaluation of the dynamic fluid status of patients.Bolus driven fluid therapy has been investigated in many goal-directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT) trials and has become a widely used approach in intraoperative fluid management.

While there are numerous studies on the intraoperative outcome of GDHT, research on the immediate postoperative outcome of GDHT therapy use is scarce.

In this study the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of bolus-based fluid management guided by common clinical parameters in postoperative period in post-anesthesia care unit.

In this randomized clinical trial all patients will be randomized to one of the following groups:

The control group will receive standard care which includes fluid maintenance program as dictated by the operating room anesthesiologist and as needed boluses through the PACU stay.

The GDT group will not receive any maintenance fluid. Fluid boluses will be given according to the flowchart attached.

Measurements of hemodynamic variables including heart rate and automatic non-invasive blood pressure measurements as well pulse oximetry as routine procedures will be recorded and stored by Metavision system (iMDsoft company) at regular intervals, all according to standard clinical practice.

Blood gases measurement will be performed upon admission and at discharge. Urine output will be measured and recorded every hour.

Read the detailed description

Methods Prior to surgery the patient will be assessed in the pre-anesthesia clinic, study protocol will be explained, questions answered and informed consent form will be signed by one of the investigating physicians. In case of an urgent case with no pre-anesthetic clinic visit, the process will take place in the entrance to the surgery room. Following surgery, patients will be assessed for eligibility and randomized to one of the study arms.

The control group will receive standard care which includes fluid maintenance program as dictated by the operating room anesthesiologist and as needed boluses through the PACU stay.

Study Arm:

The GDT group will not receive any maintenance fluid. Fluid boluses will be given according to the flowchart attached.

Baseline MAP and HR will be measured in the pre-anesthetic clinic or if not available will be recorded according to community medical record.

Blood products will be administered according to departmental guidelines and clinician decision unrelated to participation in the study.

Patients will be extubated, either in the operating room or postoperatively, when they fulfilled standard clinical criteria (adequate protective reflexes, adequate oxygenation, and stable hemodynamics), according to clinical indication unrelated to the participation in the study.

Measurements of hemodynamic variables including heart rate and automatic non-invasive blood pressure measurements as well pulse oximetry as routine procedures will be recorded and stored by Metavision system (iMDsoft company) at regular intervals, all according to standard clinical practice.

Blood gases measurement will be performed upon admission and at discharge. Urine output will be measured and recorded every hour.

Other laboratory exams will be taken based on the physician discretion unrelated to the participation in the study.

Data Collection:

For each participating patient the following data will be collected and recorded:

  1. Demographic data
  2. Medical history including regular medications
  3. Hemodynamic data including heart rate, automatic non-invasive blood pressure measurements, temperature as well pulse oximetry as routine procedures will be recorded and stored by Metavision system
  4. Anesthetic data including anesthetic method, anesthetic drugs, total fluid intake, anesthetic complications.
  5. Laboratory values
  6. Length of stay in PACU
  7. Length of stay in hospital
  8. Post-operative pulmonary complications
  9. Acute kidney injury

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ringer lactate in people with Ringer's Lactate, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 25 Sep 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 Israel. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Nadav Sheffy, MD (972522246447, nadavs1@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The rate of postoperative complications measured according to the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome definitions and Clavien-Dindo Classification in the week following the intervention (time frame: 1 week post surgery). 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 NCT03799250, which also lists 15 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 25 Sep 2019.
