Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Critical Illness
Acute Kidney Injury
Interventions
Drug: Saline 0.9%
Other: Slow infusion speed
Other: Fast Infusion Speed
Registration Number
NCT02875873
Lead Sponsor
Hospital do Coracao
Brief Summary

A 2x2 factorial randomized study to evaluate the effect of a balanced crystalloid solution compared with 0.9% saline, and of rapid vs. slow infusion on clinical outcomes of critically ill patients

Detailed Description

Pragmatic, multicenter, 2x2 factorial randomized study. Severe patients admitted to the ICU at moderate to high risk for death or acute kidney injury will be randomly allocated to receive a balanced crystalloid solution (Plasma-Lyte®) or 0.9% saline and to receive crystalloids by rapid bolus infusion (999 mL/h) or slow infusion (333 mL/h) whenever plasma expansion is needed.

Plasma-Lyte, Slow InfusionSlow infusion speedPlasma-Lyte will be used for fluid expansion and maintenance whenever needed and when there is no contraindication either for Plasma-Lyte or normal saline. Whenever fluid expansion is deemed necessary by the attending physician, infusion speed will be set at 333 mL/h.
