Registration Number
NCT03447574
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

This study is designed to answer the question of if several non-invasive methods are comparable to the invasive clinical gold standard of radiolabeled albumin in terms of detecting changes in fluid volume.

It is broken into two studies: Aim 1 Study A is designed as a pilot phase to develop the non-techniques, and Aim 2 Study B is comparing these techniques to the gold standard.

Aim 1ethanol dilutionThe ethanol dilution is, in essence, a non-invasive dilution method. It is of interest because of how ethanol readily dissolves itself exclusively into the water space of the body\[4\], is non-toxic in reasonable concentrations, is metabolized in a 0th order reaction above concentrations of 0.015 g/dL\[4\], and there are non-invasive methods for determining blood alcohol concentration\[5, 6\]. Thus, by drinking a known amount of ethanol, total body water can be calculated after a few hours of periodic breathalyzer analyses. Ethanol has been validated against deuterium oxide, the invasive gold standard for determining total body water\[4\]. The ethanol dose will be 0.5g/kg body weight.
Aim 2ethanol dilution30mL/kg body weight of saline will be rapidly infused after the baseline measurements completed in Aim 1. Non-invasive methods for fluid volume determination (CO-pulse-oximetry, ethanol breathalyzer, BIS) will be conducted and change from baseline calculated. To determine if non-invasive fluid volume techniques can accurately determine fluid changes in healthy participants.Non-invasive methods for fluid volume determination (CO-pulse-oximetry, ethanol breathalyzer, BIS) will be conducted and change from baseline calculated.
