NCT01141894

Brief Summary

The investigators aimed to compare the costs and consequences of 'routine perioperative fluid therapy' and 'GDHT in terms of morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, activity of daily living, health related quality of life, cognitive functions and need of social services and up till 12 months following operations of proximal femoral fracture at elderly. The primary hypothesis is that 'GDHT is a better strategy than 'routine fluid therapy' in terms of reduced frequency of postoperative complications.

Study Arms (2)

Routine fluid treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Buffered Glucose 25 mg/ml 1ml/kg/h Ringer's Acetate 2 ml/kg/h and additionally as needed Voluven at the attending anaesthetist's discretion Phenylephrine 50 μg for correction of hypotension

Other: Routine fluid treatment

Goal directed haemodynamic treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: Goal directed haemodynamic treatment

Interventions

Treatment by fluids and Dobutamine to attain fixed haemodynamic goal
