Impact of Intraoperative Fluid Management on Electrolyte and Acid-base Variables

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Anesthesia
Interventions
Drug: Normal Saline
Drug: Lactated Ringer
Registration Number
NCT03054922
Lead Sponsor
Nationwide Children's Hospital
Brief Summary

During major surgical procedures, intravascular volume is maintained with the administration of isotonic fluids such as Lactated Ringers (LR), Normal Saline (NS) or Normosol-R. All three of these fluids are in common clinical use for this purpose. As large volumes of NS may result in a dilutional acidosis and an increasing base deficit, it may cloud clinical decision making when resuscitative efforts are guided by acid-base status on routine arterial blood gas analysis. This is a prospective, randomized study to evaluate changes in acid-base and electrolyte (sodium, potassium, calcium) status with the use of various isotonic fluids for intraoperative resuscitation.
