About this study

Official title: Comparison Between 0.9% Saline and Balanced Crystalloid on Intraoperative Metabolomic Profiles Among Patients Undergoing Major Spine Surgery: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Different crystalloids, namely 0.9% saline and balanced crystalloid may result in different metabolomic profile among surgical patients. This study aims to investigate the serum and urine profiles between patients undergoing major spine surgery using 0.9% saline and balanced crystalloid.

Read the detailed description

Intravenous fluid is mandatory for acute and critically ill patients as well as for surgical patients. Two crystalloid iv. solutions namely 0.9% saline and balanced crystalloid are the most commonly administrated. However, early literature suggests that 0.9% saline is associated with hyperchloremic acidosis, which affects cellular metabolism and may result in worse prognosis among acute or critically ill patients. However, recent literature in 2018, including a meta-analysis and a large randomized controlled trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed neutral or merely slight different clinical outcomes between 0.9% saline and balanced crystalloids. Therefore, the metabolic differences between these two fluids may only exist in specific metabolic pathway which may be easily masked by the complex pathophysiological changes in acute and critically ill patients. These metabolic alteration may be only identified by precise research t the technology such as liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, which provides more comprehensive metabolomics profiles. By comparison, surgical patients undergoing major spine surgery receive a relatively large amount of intravenous infusion during surgery, and there is not complicated with complex pathophysiological alteration of cormorbid diseases. Accordingly, this study aim to identify the metabolomic differences between 0.9% saline and balanced crystalloid among patients undergoing major spine surgery by using the liquid chromatography mass spectrometry technique.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of metabolites in serum and urine measured by metabolomic mass spectrometry

    Serum and urine samples will be collected twice (before and immediately after surgery) in each patient.

    Measured: 2-6 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Intraoperative arterial blood gas profile

    Comparison of the arterial blood gas analysis between the two study groups

    Measured: 2-6 hours

  2. Intraoperative hemodynamic stability

    Comparison of intraoperative norepinephrine requirement between the two study groups

    Measured: 2-6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Saline and Balanced crystalloid in people with Metabolomics, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 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 2022. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Changes of metabolites in serum and urine measured by metabolomic mass spectrometry (time frame: 2-6 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 19 Jul 2022.
