Trial summary

Background and Rationale : Perioperative fluid management is a challenging issue in surgical care especially in a procedure specific model. Recently hypertonic saline (HS) has the advantage of using the patient's own total body water by drawing interstitial space. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Hypertonic Saline 3% Compared to Hypertonic Saline 1.8% for Fluid Management of Intestinal Obstruction Surgery

Background and Rationale :

Perioperative fluid management is a challenging issue in surgical care especially in a procedure specific model. Recently hypertonic saline (HS) has the advantage of using the patient's own total body water by drawing interstitial space. Although it still controversial whether HS is associated with benefits in specific patient populations, particularly with respect to site of lesion and illness severity; these data provide insight into therapeutic modalities to curtail ileus formation.

Objectives :

  • Measurement of total volume of fluid infused, the need of inotropic or vasopressor to maintain adequate hemodynamic parameters with assessment of electrolyte disturbances and S.lactate
  • The incidence rate of surgical complications; infection and anastomotic dehiscence

Study population \& Sample size :

There were no previous trials comparing the two studied groups of the current trial. We expected a small standardized effect size of 0.2. Based on this effect size, 25 subjects will be needed to elicit the difference between the two groups at an alpha level of 0.05 and power of 0.9 (Whitehead et al; 2016).

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. surgical complications rate

    the rate of surgical complications i.e leakage and wound dehisence

    Measured: 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypertonic saline in people with Intestinal Obstruction Fluid Management With Hypertonic Saline, 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 14 Nov 2018. 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. 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 Rasha Behery, MD (+201228604556, rasha.behery.rz@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 infused fluids (time frame: 24 hours). 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 14 Nov 2018.
