Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to examine how the heart functions when a calculated amount of blood is removed and how two fluids, Lactated Ringer's (considered the standard replacement fluid) and Hypertonic Saline, re-expand the vascular system. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Use of Transesophageal Echocardiography to Assess Left Ventricular Performance During Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution and Randomized Replacement With Intravenous Crystalloid or Hypertonic Saline

The purpose of this study is to examine how the heart functions when a calculated amount of blood is removed and how two fluids, Lactated Ringer's (considered the standard replacement fluid) and Hypertonic Saline, re-expand the vascular system.

Read the detailed description

This investigator-initiated, single-center, prospective, randomized, clinical experimental design will enroll 30 patients scheduled for elective radical prostatectomy, cystectomy, or cystoprostatectomy, and anterior/posterior spinal fusions, which includes routine acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) as a technique to decrease the need for banked blood transfusions. The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of volume replacement during the ANH procedure. Patients will be randomized to receive either standard crystalloid replacement with Lactated Ringers (LR) or 5% hypertonic saline. Selected measurements will be obtained by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for assessing changes in left ventricular volume and function associated with blood loss and replacement. This study will use the Accuson Cypress Cardiovascular System and the V5M transesophageal echocardiography probe (Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA). The TEE measurements will be recorded on magnetic optical discs and assessed off-line by the researcher after the data collection is completed using the proprietary software included in the ultrasound system. In addition, stroke volume variation measurement (SVV), Cardiac Output (CO), Cardiac Index (CI), and Stroke Volume Index (SVI) will be measured using the Vigileo (TM) arterial pressure monitor with the FloTrac (TM) sensor (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Volume resuscitation (Crystalloid) and Volume resuscitation (Hypertonic Saline Solution) in people with Acute Hypovolemia, run by University of California, Davis 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 1 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 30 May 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. 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?

TE echo LV 3-D volume changes. (time frame: 1 hour). 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 NCT00683007, 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 30 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
