Trial summary

Fluid boluses are often administered with the aim of improving tissue perfusion in critically ill patients. It is unclear whether the temperature of the fluid has an impact on the hemodynamic response. The aim of this study is to describe the hemodynamic effects of a fluid bolus with two different temperatures. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Effects of Cold Versus Warm Fluid Bolus Infusion in Healthy Volunteers: a Randomized Cross-over Trial

Fluid boluses are often administered with the aim of improving tissue perfusion in critically ill patients. It is unclear whether the temperature of the fluid has an impact on the hemodynamic response. The aim of this study is to describe the hemodynamic effects of a fluid bolus with two different temperatures.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, controlled, cross-over study in 21 healthy volunteers. The participants will receive a fluid bolus of 500 ml Ringer's Acetate at either 22°C or 38°C over 15 minutes in a randomized order. Non-invasive measures will be made of cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart and pulse rate, saturation and temperature. Hemodynamic measure will be made using the Clearsight® system. Measurements will be made during 120 minutes. The second session will take place at least one day later, and the participant will then receive the other fluid temperature.

    Measured: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cardiac index 120 minutes

    Change in cardiac index during 120 minutes from start of infusion

    Measured: 120 minutes

  2. Blood pressure 120 minutes

    Change in blood pressure during 120 minutes from start of infusion

    Measured: 120 minutes

  3. Heart rate 120 minutes

    Change in heart rate during 120 minutes from start of infusion

    Measured: 120 minutes

  4. Temperature 120 minutes

    Change in body temperature during 120 minutes from start of infusion

    Measured: 120 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ringer's Acetate (warm) and Ringer's Acetate (cold) in people with Temperature Change, Body and Hypovolemia, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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 6 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 Sweden. 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?

Cardiac index 15 minutes (time frame: 15 minutes). 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 NCT03209271, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Jul 2017.
