Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Target follow-up duration
Target follow-up type
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Restrictive fluid therapy a) intraoperative protocol of intravenous infusion: induction of anaesthesia Hartmann's solution <5mls/kg bolus, intraop maintenance rate 5mls/kg/hr, bolus colloid/blood to replace blood loss (ml for ml). b) postoperative protocol of intravenous infusion Hartmann's 0.8mls/kg/hr for 24hrs.

Haemodynamic variables to be assessed i. Doppler stroke volume, cardiac index, corrected flow time ii. pulse contour analysis stroke volume, cardiac index, pulse pressure variation iii. plethysmographic variability index, perfusion index. These variables will be assessed at the beginning of surgery and at the end of surgery with a passive leg raise manouvre.

Not applicable
Comparator / control treatment
Liberal fluid therapy a) intraoperative protocol of intravenous infusion: induction of anaesthesia Hartmann's solution 10mls/kg bolus, intraop maintenance rate 8mls/kg/hr, treat hypotension and hypovolemia with fluid boluses of colloid or crystalloid. b) postoperative protocol of intravenous infusion of Hartmann's solution 1.5mls/kg/hr for 24hrs.

Haemodynamic variables to be assessed i. Doppler stroke volume, cardiac index, corrected flow time ii. pulse contour analysis stroke volume, cardiac index, pulse pressure variation iii. plethysmographic variability index, perfusion index. These variables will be assessed at the beginning of surgery and at the end of surgery with a passive leg raise manouvre.

Statistical methods / analysis
Power analysis: increase in stroke volume of 43mls (sd 14) to 52(sd 17) using the oesophageal doppler.
Estimated sample size of 47 in each group (alpha=0.05, power=0.80). We would recruit a total of 100 to allow for drop outs and exclusions.
