About this study

Official title: Protocolized Reduction of Non-resuscitation Fluids Versus Usual Care in Septic Shock Patients: A Multicentre Feasibility Trial

The objectives of this feasibility trial are to assess the efficacy and feasibility of methods and procedures of a protocol purposed to compare a reduction of administration of non-resuscitation fluids to usual care in patients with septic shock.

Conditions
Shock, Septic
Being tested
Protocolised reduction of non-resuscitation fluids, Usual care
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Protocolised reduction of non-resuscitation fluidsOther

    • Maintenance fluids are discontinued in participants with positive cumulative fluid balance who are not dehydrated
    • Intravenous fluid and enteral water are given as needed to correct electrolyte disturbances
    • Enteral nutrition with energy density of at least 2 kcal/ml is administered according to local practice
    • Starting 72 hours after inclusion, glucose at a concentration of at least 20% and a maximal dose of 1g/kg/day may be used as nutrition if enteral feeding is not tolerated. Glucose at this dose or lower may be started earlier in patients with insulin dependent diabetes if enteral feeding is not tolerated and local protocol mandates this
    • Parenteral nutrition is administered according to local protocol
    • Intravenous medications are concentrated according to a predefined protocol
    • Patients with neutral or negative cumulative fluid balance receive maintenance and other fluids such that total dose of fluids covers the daily need of water (about 1ml/kg/h)
  • Usual careOther

    Participants receive non-resuscitation fluids according to local routines, with the following stipulations:

    • Maintenance fluids (crystalloids and/or glucose and/or enteral water) are given at a dose of 1 ml/kg/h unless local protocol states otherwise
    • Glucose is used at maximal concentration of 10% unless local protocol states otherwise.
    • Medications are concentrated according to local protocol

Protocolised reduction of non-resuscitation fluidsExperimentalParticipants receive non-resuscitation fluids according to a pre-defined protocol starting within two hours of randomization. The intervention is continued for the duration of the ICU admission up to a maximum of 90 days.

Usual CareOtherParticipants receive non-resuscitation fluids according to local routines.
Receives: Other: Usual care

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in fluid administration

    Total difference in litres of administered fluids between groups

    Measured: Within the first three days after inclusion (days 0-3)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of participants with sufficient clinical outcome data

    Fraction of randomised patients with sufficient data for the following clinical outcomes: all-cause mortality, days alive and free of mechanical ventilation, acute kidney injury, and ischemic events in the ICU (cerebral, cardiac, intestinal or limb ischemia)

    Measured: Within 90 days after inclusion

  2. Proportion of participants assessed by EQ5D-5L and MoCA

    Fraction of surviving randomized patients who were assessed by European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions 5- Level questionnaire (EQ5D-5L) and The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

    Measured: 6 months after inclusion

  3. Inclusion of eligible patients

    Fraction of all eligible patients who were randomised and consented

    Measured: During inclusion

  4. Protocol violations

    Fraction of patients experiencing at least one protocol violation

    Measured: Within 90 days after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Protocolised reduction of non-resuscitation fluids in people with Shock, Septic, run by Region Skane at 8 sites in Sweden.

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 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Sweden. 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?

Difference in fluid administration (time frame: Within the first three days after inclusion (days 0-3)). 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 NCT05249088, which also lists 2 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 11 Dec 2023.
