About this study

The purpose of the study is to help determine if either crystalloid solution or colloid solution is more advantageous as a resuscitative fluid in post-operative pediatric cardiac patients.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to help detect if there is an advantage in giving one type of resuscitative fluid versus another in the setting of post-operative pediatric cardiac patients. The two types of fluid being compared are crystalloid solution (normal saline) and colloid solution (5% albumin). The primary outcome measurement will be how much volume of each type of fluid will be required in order to maintain hemodynamic stability as determined by mean arterial blood pressure within predetermined parameters. Other secondary outcomes will include determinations of lactate clearance, inotropic support requirements, urine output, peripheral and pulmonary edema that occurs post-operatively, and the over all costs for each fluid based on number of required boluses and number of hours on mechanical ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. maintenance of hemodynamic stability according to an age specific, predetermined, minimal mean arterial blood pressure

    Measured: Throughout the post operative period

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. lactate clearance

    Measured: Throughout the post operative period

  2. inotropic requirements

    Measured: throughout the post operative period

  3. establishment of adequate urine output

    Measured: Throughout the post operative period

  4. post-operative occurrence of edema (peripheral and pulmonary)

    Measured: Througout the post operative period

  5. monitoring of cost difference as determined by total number of boluses, number of ventilator hours, and length of ICU stay

    Measured: Throughout the ICU stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 5% albumin and crystalloid in people with Cardiac Diseases, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 4 Apr 2017. 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 United States. 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?

maintenance of hemodynamic stability according to an age specific, predetermined, minimal mean arterial blood pressure (time frame: Throughout the post operative period). 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 4 Apr 2017.
