Trial summary

Clinical assessment of bleeding and calculation of perioperative blood loss do not provide an accurate estimate of blood volume. This makes rational fluid management difficult, which is of high importance for patient-related outcomes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Perioperative Change in Blood Volume and Fluid Distribution in Total Hip Arthroplasty

Clinical assessment of bleeding and calculation of perioperative blood loss do not provide an accurate estimate of blood volume. This makes rational fluid management difficult, which is of high importance for patient-related outcomes. The availability of carbon monoxide(CO)-rebreathing allows for simple, non-invasive and precise measurement of changes in blood volume.

The purpose of the study is to investigate and describe changes in blood volume and fluid distribution perioperative in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Furthermore, to investigate the association between changes in blood volume and incidence of orthostatic insufficiency.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in total blood volume (TBV)

    Measured in milliliter (mL)

    Measured: Preoperatively and 6 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Change in total blood volume (TBV)

    measured in mL

    Measured: Preoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  2. Changes in total hemoglobin mass (tHgb)

    Measured in gram (g)

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  3. Changes in erythrocyte volume (EBV)

    Measured in mL

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  4. Changes in plasma volume (PV)

    Measured in mL

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  5. Changes in hematokrit (Ht)

    Reported as percentage(%)

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  6. Changes in hemoglobin (Hg) concentration

    Measured in millimoles/liter(mmol/L)

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  7. Changes in Total body water(TBW), intra-(ICF) and extracellular(ECF) fluid distribution

    Full body water via bioelectrical impedance analysis. The individual components are reported in L and percent.

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  8. Changes in C-Reactive Protein (CRP)

    Measured in milligram/liter (mg/L)

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  9. Incidence of orthostatic intolerance during mobilization

    Symptoms of orthostatic intolerance: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurry vision or syncope during mobilization

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  10. Association between total blood loss and incidence of orthostatic intolerance

    Blood loss measured in mL. Symptoms of orthostatic intolerance: dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurry vision or syncope during mobilization

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  11. Association between changes in C-Reactive Protein and total blood loss

    C-Reactive Protein measured in mg/L and total blood loss measured in mL

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  12. Association between peripheral perfusion index and total blood loss

    Peripheral perfusion index measured in percent and total blood loss in mL

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

  13. Association between total hemoglobin (SpHb) and total blood loss

    SpHb measured as gram/deciliter and total blood loss measured in mL

    Measured: Preoperatively, 6 hours postoperatively and 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Arthroplasty Replacement, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2025. 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 Denmark. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Puk Kristiansen, MD (+4530291189, puk.kristiansen@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in total blood volume (TBV) (time frame: Preoperatively and 6 hours postoperatively). 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 21 Mar 2025.
