NCT01195883

Brief Summary

A trial in which patients having open abdominal surgery are randomized to receive either crystalloids or colloids intraoperatively, guided by esophageal Doppler. The investigators test the primary hypothesis that goal-directed colloid administration during elective abdominal surgery decreases a composite of postoperative complications within 30 days of surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Postoperative Morbidity (Major Complications)

    Any of the following major complications: (1) Cardiac (Acute heart failure/Myocardial infarction/Ventricular arrhythmia); (2) pulmonary (embolism/edema/respiratory failure/pneumonia/pleural effusion); (3) gastrointestinal (bowel and surgical anastomosis stricture or anastomotic leak/internal or external fistulas/peritoneal effusions); (4) Renal (requiring dialysis); (5) Infectious (deep or organ space surgical site infection / sepsis); and (6) Coagulation (bleeding).

    Postoperative 30-days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants With Postoperative Morbidity (Minor Complications)

    Postoperative 30-days

  • Number of Participants With Postoperative Complications, 30-day Readmission, and 30-day Death

    Postoperative 30 days

  • Number of Participants With Postoperative Acute Kidney Injury

    Hospitalization

Study Arms (2)

Crystalloid

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Lactated Ringers solution will be used for fluid replacement.

Drug: Crystalloid

Colloid

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Low-molecular weight colloid HES 130/0.4 (Voluven) will be used for fluid replacement

Drug: Colloid

Interventions

For goal directed volume management we use corrected aortic flow time (FTc) and stroke volume derived from esophageal Doppler as in previous studies. In case of hypovolemia, detected by esophageal Doppler monitoring (CardioQ, Deltex Medical Group PLC, Chichester, UK) according to a previously published algorithm, an additional fluid bolus of 250 ml of LR will be given over a period of 5 minutes.
