Effect of Albumin Versus Routine Care on Hemodynamic Response and Stability in Patients With Preeclampsia Guided by a Non-invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring System During Cesarean Delivery With Spinal Anesthesia

Phase 4
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Pre-Eclampsia
Interventions
Drug: Lactated Ringer's Injection (crystalloid)
Drug: Human Albumin (colloid)
Device: Edwards HemoSphere monitor with ClearSight-Acumen finger cuff
Registration Number
NCT06107335
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of albumin versus routine care on hemodynamic response and stability in pre-eclamptic patients during cesarean delivery. The hypothesis is that volume replacement with albumin guided by stroke volume variation (SVV) using a ClearSight-Acumen (CS-A) monitor, before cesarean delivery (CD), improves hemodynamic stability in preeclamptic patients with severe features compared to routine care, under neuraxial anesthesia.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Gestational age greater or equal to 24 weeks
  • Diagnosis of preeclampsia with severe features [Pre-eclampsia is defined as high blood pressure after 20 weeks with or without proteinuria. Pre-eclampsia with severe features is defined as the presence of preeclampsia with any of the following features: severe hypertension (blood pressure ≥160/110 mmHg on two separate occasions); thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100,000 per microliter); impaired liver function (elevated liver transaminases to twice the normal concentration or severe persistent right upper quadrant or epigastric pain not responsive to medications); progressive renal insufficiency with a serum creatinine level of >1.1 mg/dl or doubling of the serum creatinine level in the absence of other renal disease; pulmonary edema or unexplained new-onset cerebral symptoms (headache) unresponsive to medications or visual disturbances.]
  • Scheduled Cesarean Delivery
  • Unscheduled Cesarean Delivery with the goal to proceed to the operating room within no less than 30 minutes due to concern for maternal or fetal status that is not immediately life threatening.
  • Requiring Neuraxial Anesthesia (spinal or CSE)
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patient declines to participate in the study
  • Labor
  • Contraindications to the use of neuraxial anesthesia (coagulopathy, infection at the insertion site, intracranial mass etc.)
  • Unscheduled Cesarean Delivery with the goal to proceed to the operating room immediately for delivery of the baby due to imminent/unavoidable threat to the life of the mother or fetus.
  • The use of or conversion to General Anesthesia
  • Non-reassuring fetal status including the presence of cardiac or multi-system anomalies, category III tracing etc.
  • Significant maternal cardiopulmonary disease including pulmonary hypertension, ischemic heart disease with systolic dysfunction, pulmonary edema etc.
  • Significant intraoperative events (such as hemorrhage) requiring administration of multiple blood products and ICU admission.

Fluid restriction using crystalloidLactated Ringer's Injection (crystalloid)Fluid restriction will be achieved with the crystalloid lactated ringer's injection administered at at a keep-the-vein-open (KVO) rate of 75 milliliters per hour (mL/hr).
Fluid replacement using colloid as guided by stroke volume variation (SVV)Human Albumin (colloid)Fluid replacement will be achieved with the colloid 5% albumin infusion. Use of colloid will be guided by stroke volume variation (SVV) as assessed by the Edwards HemoSphere monitor with ClearSight-Acumen finger cuff device.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with fluid responsivenessfrom baseline to thirty minutes after arrival to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)

"Fluid responsiveness" (in other words, a "positive response") is defined as a volume-induced correction to stroke volume variation (SVV) values \< 13%. SVV measurements will be made using the Edwards HemoSphere monitor with ClearSight-Acumen finger cuff.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maternal blood pressure (diastolic)baseline, after infusion of study intervention, at completion of placement of the spinal/CSE anesthesia, at completion of delivery of the baby, at end of procedure when leave operating room, thirty minutes after arrival to PACU
Maternal blood pressure (systolic)baseline, after infusion of study intervention, at completion of placement of the spinal/CSE anesthesia, at completion of delivery of the baby, at end of procedure when leave operating room, thirty minutes after arrival to PACU
Total amount in milligrams of rescue vasopressor drug givenfrom start of operation to thirty minutes after arrival to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
Number of participants with fluid responsiveness stabilityfrom baseline to thirty minutes after arrival to the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
Number of adverse eventsfrom start of operation to discharge from the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
