NCT01539798

Brief Summary

The investigators conducted a cross-over study to compare the response of healthy young volunteers to a rapid oral intake or intravenous infusion of 0.9% saline solution on the body composition, serum electrolytes, albumin, and hematological parameters. The investigators hypothesized that these parameters will differently adapt depending on the route of infusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Body Composition

    . After having voided the bladder they were weighted to the nearest 0.1 kg and their heights were measured to the nearest 0.01 m with a estadiometer. Body mass was then calculated. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was performed with single-frequency (50 kHz) device (Bodystat 1500; Bodystat Ltd., Isle of Man, U.K.) using tetrapolar distal limb electrodes. TBW, fatty mass and lean body mass were calculated using regression equations programmed into the devices

    2 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Serum electrolytes

    2 hours

Study Arms (2)

Oral Saline

EXPERIMENTAL

Ingestion of 0.9% saline solution

Other: Oral saline

Intravenous Saline

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Intravenous infusion of 0.9% saline solution

Other: Intravenous saline

Interventions

Ingestion of 2 L of 0.9% saline solution over 1h

Also known as: Sodium chloride solution
Oral Saline

Infusion of 2L of 0.9% saline solution over 1h

Also known as: Sodium chloride solution
Intravenous Saline

Eligibility Criteria
