About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Goal Directed Therapy and PCO2 Gap Algorithm Application on Outcome of High Risk Surgical Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgeries

  1. Primary (main): Comparison between goal directed therapy and PCO2 gap algorithm (carbon dioxide partial pressure venous arterial gap algorithm) application on 30 days mortality and organ dysfunction post operative
  2. Secondary (subsidiary):

Comparison between goal directed therapy and PCO2 gap algorithm application on number of ventilator dependant days, number of days on vasopressors or inotropes length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay,

Read the detailed description

High risk surgical participants in South valley university hospitals (teaching hospitals) who will undergo major abdominal surgeries will be included in research after giving written informed consent from the participants or from the patient's legal representative. The use of obtained data will be approved by local ethics committee.

All participants will be evaluated pre operatively and pre medicated according to protocols in our hospital, base line sequential organ failure (SOFA) score will be taken. General anesthesia for all patients will be carried on according to our local standards. As part of our routine hemodynamic monitoring during major surgery, all patients will be monitored with central venous (standard three-lumen catheter) and arterial catheters placed before the beginning of surgery. The central venous line will be positioned with the tip within the superior vena cava, and correct positioning will be verified by chest radiograph.

the participants will be divided randomly onto to groups using numerical system group A PCO2 gap algorithm(carbon dioxide partial pressure venous arterial gap) will be applied intraoperative and 12 h postoperative end point PCO2 gap 2-6mm Hg(appendix 1).

Group B goal directed therapy protocol which will include targets mean arterial blood pressure ( MAP) > 65 mmHg, central venous pressure(CVP) between 8-12 cmH2O , Haematocrite value more than 30, mixed venous oxygen saturation (Svo2) >75% and urine output more than >0.5 ml/kg/hr and will be applied intraoperative and 12 postoperative end point base deficit +/- 2(appendix 2 ).

All participants will be admitted to the ICU (intensive care unit) immediately after surgery .Standard postoperative monitoring will include: electrocardiograph (heart rate), invasive mean arterial pressure, pulse oxygen saturation and urine output then will be all managed according to their allocated group for 12 hours.

Outcomes in both groups will be recorded which will be number of ventilator dependant days, number of days on vasopressors or inotropes length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, 30 days organ dysfunction, assessed by using the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and 30 days mortality .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cv line insertion, Urinary catheter insertion and Arterial line in people with Major Abdominal Surgeries, run by South Valley University 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 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 23 Mar 2021. 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. 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?

Post operative mortality (time frame: 30 days). 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 23 Mar 2021.
