Official title: The Effect of Intraoperative Goal Directed Restricted Fluid Therapy Guided by Stroke Volume Variation Versus Standard Fluid Therapy on Extravascular Lung Water in Major Abdominal Operations: a Randomized Controlled Study

The aim of this study is to compare the use of Goal Directed fluid therapy guided by Stroke volume variation plus a restricted fluid management approach to standard fluid management in patients undergoing major abdominal operations.

Read the detailed description

Perioperative fluid management has an important impact on patient outcome. Under-resuscitation leads to hypoperfusion and over-resuscitation leads to tissue oedema. Intraoperative goal directed fluid therapy (GDT) has been reported to improve patient outcome in high risk surgical patients. GDT aims to optimize oxygen delivery through various strategies. The main three GDT strategies are:

  1. Stroke volume optimization with fluids
  2. Stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) optimization with fluids.
  3. Oxygen delivery index with fluids and inotropes Although GDT was recommended by professional societies in Europe and United Kingdom, these recommendations were recently challenged in many randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis.The effect of GDT on intraoperative fluid requirements was previously reported, however; its effect on extravascular lung water is not well studied.

Electrical cardiometry is a recent non-invasive technology for cardiac output measurement. Electrical cardiometry drive CO measurement from thoracic electrical bioimpedance. Good correlation was reported between CO measurements derived from electrical cardiometry and continuous thermodilution monitoring system.

Although many protocols for GDT have been reported in major abdominal operations, till now there is no consensus about the optimum protocol nor the optimum goals to achieve during fluid management. Major abdominal operations are characterized by major fluid shifts. Moreover, patients undergoing these operations are prone to impaired organ functions due to tissue oedema. Traditional standard care in major abdominal operations usually includes 6 ml/Kg/h balanced crystalloids (to restore insensible losses and maintenance requirements) in addition to replacement of blood losses. We hypothesize that the use of a more restricted fluid approach (2ml/Kg/h) + GDT guided by cardiometry will improve fluid management and decrease extra-vascular lung water.

The aim of this study is to compare the use of Goal Directed fluid therapy guided by Stroke volume variation plus a restricted fluid management approach to standard fluid management in patients undergoing major abdominal operations.

What participants receive

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

  • Restricted fluid therapy groupProcedure or surgery

    Patients will receive restricted fluid management (2ml/Kg/h) with concomitant SVV monitoring using ICON cardiometry device. GDT protocol will be used to fulfil the two targets (SVV < 10% - MAP >65 mmHg). A fluid bolus of 200 ml Lactated ringer will be infused if SVV is more than 10% for 5 minutes, the dose will be repeated every 10 minutes if SVV is still above 10%. If the total fluid boluses reached 20 ml/Kg in a patient with MAP > 65 mmHg, no fluid boluses will be infused unless there is evident blood loss or hypotension. If MAP was achieved (>65mmHg) at any time, the first three steps in the protocol will be bypassed. If MAP was not achieved after reaching 20 ml/Kg , norepinephrine (inotropes) will be given as shown in fig. 1 with dose of 0.01ug/kg/min.

  • Standard fluid managementProcedure or surgery

    Patients will receive standard fluid management of 6 ml/Kg/h plus rescue fluid boluses of 200 ml lactated ringer if Mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased less than 65 mmHg and central venous pressure less than 8 mmH2o.

What is being measured

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

  1. Extravascular lung water (Lung ultrasound score)

    Lung ultrasound with a 5-MHz curved array probe (MindrayDC-N6; Mindray; Shenzhen, China). Lung ultrasound will be assessed for the presence of B lines.

    The B line is the name given to an artifact with seven features: a hydroaeric comet-tail artifact; arising from the pleural line; hyperechoic; well defined; spreading up indefinitely; erasing A lines; and moving with lung sliding when lung sliding is present.

    The lung ultrasound score was obtained by scanning 12-rib interspaces with the probe longitudinally applied perpendicular to the wall. Each hemi-thorax was divided in six areas: two anterior areas, two lateral areas, and two posterior areas. The sum of B-lines found on each scanning site (0: absence; 1: B7 lines: multiple B-lines 7 mm apart; 2: B3 lines: multiple B 3 mm apart; 3: consolidation) yields a score from 0 to 36.

    Measured: Lung ultrasound will be performed in the postoperative care unit 30 minutes after patient recovery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intraoperative fluid requirement

    The total volume of fluids infused intraoperatively in milliliters

    Measured: intraoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Restricted fluid therapy group and Standard fluid management in people with Surgery, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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 19 Jul 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 Egypt. 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?

Extravascular lung water (Lung ultrasound score) (time frame: Lung ultrasound will be performed in the postoperative care unit 30 minutes after patient recovery). 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 19 Jul 2017.
