Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the InSpectra StO2 Monitor can safely guide the amount of fluid needed during colorectal surgery. The study hypothesis is that intraoperative fluid limitation can be safely accomplished when guided by StO2 monitoring, and that this fluid restriction regimen will result in a… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy for Intraoperative Restriction of Fluids Trial A Prospective Randomized Study of Near-infrared Spectroscopy Directed Fluid Therapy vs Standard Fluid Therapy in Patients Undergoing Open Elective Colorectal Surgery

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the InSpectra StO2 Monitor can safely guide the amount of fluid needed during colorectal surgery.

The study hypothesis is that intraoperative fluid limitation can be safely accomplished when guided by StO2 monitoring, and that this fluid restriction regimen will result in a reduction in postoperative morbidity when compared to standard monitoring and fluid therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Major postoperative complications

    Measured: within the first 30 days of the postoperative period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. StO2 changes during intraoperative fluid management, hospital-free days, surgical site infections, time to first bowel movement, total fluid and total intraoperative fluid volumes, daily fluid volumes through 3 days postoperative, daily weights

    Measured: within the first 30 days of the postoperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Restricted intraoperative fluid management in people with Colorectal Surgery, run by Hutchinson Technology Inc at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 29 Oct 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Major postoperative complications (time frame: within the first 30 days of the postoperative 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 29 Oct 2009.
