About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Fluid Therapy Management in Low-risk Patients Under General Anesthesia- a Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Liberal, Restrictive and Pleth Variability Index (PVI)-Guided Fluid Administration in a Day Surgery Setting

This is a single-center prospective randomized control trial (RCT) to determine whether the continuous monitoring of the plethysmographic variability index (PVI) during low-risk surgeries, can be used to optimize the intraoperative fluid administration. Low-risk patients that attend our day surgery unit, and who will be operated under general anesthesia, will be randomized to either a liberal fluid group, a restrictive fluid group or a dynamic monitoring group (PVI-directed). The amount of fluid infused together with the time to discharge, will be assessed in each participant during the postoperative period along with additional secondary outcomes.

What participants receive

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

  • Fluid therapy protocolOther

    Only ringer lactate (RL solution will be used). 1. Fluid loading at induction with 500 ml of ringer lactate solution will be given to some groups. 2. Base infusion rate varies according to group. 3. Fluid challenges - infusion of 250 ml over 5 min, a hemodynamic parameter specific to each group will be monitored for 10 min after the end of infusion to look for changes. Patients who do not respond to four (4) fluid challenges (volume infused 1000 ml) will be excluded.

Study groups in NCT03193320
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Liberal group protocolActive comparatorFluid loading with 500 ml at induction. Baseline fluid infusion - 8 ml/kg/h. Fluid challenge - if mean arterial pressure (MAP) falls to < 65 mmHg, a fluid challenge will be administered.
Receives: Other: Fluid therapy protocol
Restrictive group protocolActive comparatorNo fluid loading at induction. Baseline fluid infusion - 4 ml/kg/h. Fluid challenges - if mean arterial pressure (MAP) falls to < 65 mmHg, a fluid challenge will be administered.
Receives: Other: Fluid therapy protocol
PVI-guided group protocolExperimentalNo fluid loading at induction. Baseline fluid infusion - 2 ml/kg/h. PVI will be monitored continuously since anesthesia induction. Fluid challenges - if PVI rises >=13 (or MAP falls < 65 mmHg), a fluid challenge will be administered.
Receives: Other: Fluid therapy protocol

What is being measured

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

  1. Total volume of fluid infused intraoperatively

    Total volume of ringer lactate solution infused intraoperatively to participants (ml).

    Measured: 0 min after extubation

  2. Time to discharge

    Time in hours (h) from anesthesia reversal to fulfillment of patient discharge criteria. Patients will be assessed by an attending nurse every 30 min to assess the fulfillment of these criteria.

    Measured: 240 min after extubation (discharge)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Significant postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

    Presence of significant PONV as determined by a score ≥5 on the scale proposed by Myles SA et al. (BJA 2012)

    Measured: 240 min after extubation (discharge)

  2. Postoperative dizziness

    Presence of patient self-reported dizziness in the post-operative period.

    Measured: 30 min after reversal

  3. Postoperative fatigue

    Presence of patient self-reported fatigue after surgery.

    Measured: 30 min after reversal

  4. Postoperative thirst

    Presence of patient self-reported thirst after surgery

    Measured: 30 min after reversal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fluid therapy protocol in people with Anesthesia, General and Fluid Therapy, run by Policlinica Metropolitana at 1 site in Venezuela.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2020. 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 Venezuela. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Renzo G Di Natale, MD (+584122715908, renzogdg@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total volume of fluid infused intraoperatively (time frame: 0 min after extubation). The study lists 2 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 3 Mar 2020.
