Trial summary

Goal-directed fluid therapy is one of the most accepted strategies in intraoperative fluid therapy, although potential fluid overload is a possible drawback. Fluid overload has recently been shown to cause damage to the glycocalyx and to increase extravasation of fluids into the interstitial space. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Contribution of Liberal Fluid Therapy to Glycocalyx Shedding, Interstitial Edema and Fluid Accumulation During Moderate Surgery

Goal-directed fluid therapy is one of the most accepted strategies in intraoperative fluid therapy, although potential fluid overload is a possible drawback. Fluid overload has recently been shown to cause damage to the glycocalyx and to increase extravasation of fluids into the interstitial space.

This study aims to determine whether liberal fluid administration during moderate surgery results in impairment to the endothelial glycocalyx and causes edema.

Participants will be randomized to receive either a liberal or restrictive fluid protocol with vasopressor support. The investigators will measure interstitial edema by clinical signs, pulmonary congestion by ultrasound, and extracellular water by bioimpedance. Impairment of glycocalyx will be estimated by measuring blood levels of shedding markers. In addition, wound healing and early postoperative outcome will be estimated by POMS.

What participants receive

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

  • Lactated Ringer's Fluid Bolus Response to Low Urinary OutputOther

    During the surgical procedure and the subsequent stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit: if the study participant's urine output (UO) remains <0.3 ml/kg/h for two consecutive hours, an IV bolus of 250 ml of lactated Ringer's solution will be administered over 15 min and repeated every 30 min until the UO reaches >0.3 ml/kg/h.

  • Post-Anesthesia Care Unit Lactated Ringer's Fluid Management ProtocolOther

    Also called Recovery Room Fluid Management Protocol

    During their stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, patients will receive a 1.5 ml/kg/h IV infusion of lactated Ringer's solution.

Study groups in NCT05939518
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Liberal Lactated Ringer Fluid Protocol with Ephedrine and Phenylephrine BolusesExperimentalIV Infusion of 500 ml of lactated Ringer's (RL) solution during the induction of anesthesia followed by an infusion of RL at a rate of 8.0 ml/kg/h throughout the maintenance phase of anesthesia. The anesthesia care provider will be allowed free use of IV boluses of ephedrine or phenylephrine to target a mean arterial blood pressure of >60 mmHg.
Receives: Other: Lactated Ringer's Fluid Bolus Response to Low Urinary Output; Other: Post-Anesthesia Care Unit Lactated Ringer's Fluid Management Protocol
Restrictive Lactated Ringer Fluid Protocol with Noradrenaline InfusionActive comparatorIV Infusion of 200 ml of lactated Ringer's (RL) solution during the induction of anesthesia followed by an infusion of RL at a rate of 2.0 ml/kg/h + an infusion of noradrenaline throughout the maintenance phase of anesthesia, through a large peripheral vein. The noradrenaline infusion rate will be titrated after an initial bolus of 10 μg, from an initial rate of 2.0 μg/kg/h, which may be raised up to 8.0 μg/kg/h, to target a mean arterial blood pressure (MBP) of >60 mmHg. If the MBP target is still not achieved, the RL infusion rate may be increased up to 4.0 ml/kg/h.

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.

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?

Change from preoperative serum concentration of Heparan Sulfate. (time frame: Two hours after completion of surgery.). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Dec 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
