NCT04058236

Brief Summary

Background: On the surface of every healthy cellular membrane resides a layer known as the glycocalyx. This structure consists of extracellular domains of receptor, adhesion and transmembrane molecules such as syndecan-1 covalently bound to highly negatively charged glycosaminoglycans, heparan sulfates. It has a principal role to maintain wall integrity, avoid inflammation and tissue oedema in vessels but in contrast, glycocalyx is robust and elevated on cancer cells. This study examines whether the endothelial glycocalyx layer is preserved in patients undergoing pancreatectomy with human albumin 5% vs. gelofusine in a restrictive goal directed fluid regime perioperatively for the first 24hours. Degradation of glycocalyx will be investigated by analyzing basic levels of the core protein syndecan-1 and heparan sulfates with post-operative samples.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Occurence of pancreatic fistula leak

    Review will be done according to guideline of Revised 2016 International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF)

    Within post-op 30 days

  • Changes in serum syndecan 1 concentrations

    Blood samples are collected to check for syndecan 1 concentrations in serum

    Within post-op 7 days

  • Changes in serum heparan sulfate concentrations

    Blood samples are collected to check for heparan sulfate concentrations in serum

    Within post-op 7 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in levels of Inflammatory markers Interleukin-1 and CRP

    Within post-op 7 days

Study Arms (2)

human albumin 5%

EXPERIMENTAL

10 patients with pancreatic cancer will receive human albumin 5% in a restrictive goal directed fluid regime preoperatively for the first 24 hours.

Other: human albumin 5%

gelofusine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

10 patients with pancreatic cancer will receive gelofusine in a restrictive goal directed fluid regime preoperatively for the first 24 hours.

Other: gelofusine.

Interventions

Human Albumin 5% will be given as fluid management for this group in accordance to goal directed therapy and guided by stroke volume variation of approximately 12-15%. This percentage of SVV has been validated as a threshold above which fluid administration increases stroke volume with an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve reported at 0.87. If the SVV remains more than 15% for more than 2 minutes, 250ml of fluid replacement according to patient group will be given. These boluses are given in aliquots over 30 min to avoid effects of rapid volume expansion. and the same fluid and technique will be carried out within 24 hours intra and post operatively in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). All clinical parameters and fluids including blood that will be given will be recorded.
