Trial summary

Neurosurgical operations are characterised by major fluid shift, frequent use of diuretics, and prolonged operative time. The role of fluid therapy in these patients is very critical; hypovolemia might decrease cerebral perfusion; while, fluid over-infusion might swell the brain (1-3). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Two Different Goals of Fluid Management in Patients Undergoing Supratentorial

Neurosurgical operations are characterised by major fluid shift, frequent use of diuretics, and prolonged operative time. The role of fluid therapy in these patients is very critical; hypovolemia might decrease cerebral perfusion; while, fluid over-infusion might swell the brain (1-3). Thus, fluid management in these procedures complex and challenging. Evidence on the optimum protocol for intraoperative fluid management in neurosurgical patients is still lacking. Adequate intracranial volume management is considered a key factor that would overcome the tumour bulk and the surrounding vasogenic oedema facilitating surgical access . Thus, a relaxed brain is one of the targets of intraoperative fluid management during craniotomy. The slack brain would allow proper surgical retraction and consequently, reduces brain retractor ischemia. Brain relaxation scale (BRS) had shown a good correlation with intracranial pressure thus, an increasing interest was paid to BRS as a simple surrogate for intracranial pressure (4-8).

Goal-directed hemodynamic therapy (GDT) in the operating room is a term used to describe the use of defined hemodynamic targets to guide intravenous fluid and inotropic therapy. Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is one of the robust dynamic indices of fluid responsiveness which is based on heart-lung interactions (9-12). GDT had been frequently investigated in the operating room in high-risk patients especially in major surgery. However, the impact of GDT on patient outcomes, especially BRS, is not well evaluated in brain surgery (12-15). In this study, we evaluated PPV-guided fluid management compared to standard fluid management in patients undergoing supratentorial mass excision. We hypothesised that in these procedures, GDT might restrict intraoperative fluid volume, improve brain relaxation, and provide stable patient hemodynamics.

Anesthetic management:

Peripheral i.v line will be inserted and 2-3 mg midazolam and 2 gm magnesium are given. A pre-induction radial arterial line is inserted with the aid of infiltration of 2 ml lidocaine 2%. Invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring is started and pulse oximetry, 5-leads ECG, and NIBP are attached to the patient and mindray ipm-12 monitor is used. Anesthetic induction started with propofol 1-2 mg/kg, lidocaine 1 mg/kg, cis-atracurium 0.2 mg/kg and fentanyl 1-2 microgram/kg. Intubation is done with cuffed endotracheal tube and tidal volume and respiratory rate are set to achieve end-tidal Co2 of 30-28 mmHg. Esophageal temperature probe and urinary catheter are put in place. Patients then will receive maintenance of anesthesia with isoflurane < 1 MAC, propofol 10-60 microgram/kg/min, dexmedetomidine loading 1 microgram/kg bolus in 10 minutes followed by 0.2-1 microgram/kg/hour and cis-atracurium 2-3 microgram/kg/minute. Patients will receive mannitol 20% 0.5-1 gm/kg and dexamethasone 8mg and paracetamol 1gm near the end of surgery. Patients will receive their fasting requirements of normal saline in the first 3 hours of surgery. Maintenance fluid used will be ringer acetate and will be given according to pulse pressure variation index (PPVI) that is derived from pulse contour analysis of invasive arterial blood pressure waveform. Patients are then divided into two groups of two different targets of PPVI. Group A will be given ringer acetate when PPVI is > 12% and group B will be given ringer acetate when PPVI is > 16%.

If hypotension occurred without change in PPVI targets, it will be treated with 10 mg ephedrine. Arterial blood gas samples will be collected at induction and at the end of surgery. After removal of cranial fixation pins, anesthesia is discontinued and reversal of muscle relaxant is done with atropine 0.5 mg and neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg then extubation is done and patient is transferred to the ICU.

What is being measured

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

  1. intraoperative mean arterial blood pressure

    measured by invasive arterial blood pressure through radial arterial line

    Measured: before induction of anesthesia as a baseline, after induction and then every 15 minutes till the end of surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. postoperative adverse cardiovascular outcomes

    incidence of hypotension < 25% of baseline blood pressure

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

  2. intraoperative urine output

    total amount of urine output at the end of surgery

    Measured: at the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pulse pressure variation index guided fluid therapy in people with Supratentorial Brain Tumor, run by Assiut 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 6 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 30 Nov 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

intraoperative mean arterial blood pressure (time frame: before induction of anesthesia as a baseline, after induction and then every 15 minutes till the end of surgery). 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 30 Nov 2022.
