Comparison of Stroke Volume Variation-guided Normovolemic and Restrictive Fluid Management During Craniotomy: a Randomized Controlled Trial

December 2, 2014 updated by: National Taiwan University Hospital

Fluid management during neurosurgery presents a special clinical agenda. Volume overload can have detrimental effects on intracranial pressure by increasing either cerebral blood volume or hydrostatically driven cerebral edema formation. On the other hand, an overt restrictive fluid strategy may risk hemodynamic instability.

Recently, dynamic fluid responsiveness parameters such as stroke volume variation (SVV) have been shown as a more precise parameters for fluid management including in neurosurgical patients. The threshold of SVV is reported about 10-15%. In this study, the investigators aim to using two SVV threshold to conduct intraoperative fluid therapy for craniotomy. Randomization will be generated by computer sampling. One of the two groups of patients will be managed with fluid bolus to keep intraoperative SVV <10% presenting the "normovolemia" group. The other group of patients will be kept intraoperative SVV <18% which is slightly above previously reported SVV threshold upper limit. The second group thus presents the "restrictive" group. Clinical outcomes, laboratory analysis including S100-B for neuronal damage and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) for acute kidney injury, will be compared.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Normovolemic group (keeping SVV<10% in supine; <15% in prone)
  1. The anesthesiologist will infuse Voluven (Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany) 250 ml if stroke volume variation is over 10% during the surgery to keep the normovolemia.
  2. If total Voluven use is over 1500ml and then the anesthesiologist will infuse Saline 250 ml instead.
  3. The maintenance of basal fluid, criteria to use inotropes (If cardiac index is below 2.5 l/min/m2 ) are the same standards in the both groups.
Drug: Intravenous colloid bolus with Voluven
Active Comparator: Restricitve group (keeping SVV < 18% in supine; <23% in prone)
  1. The anesthesiologist will infuse Voluven (Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany) 250 ml if stroke volume variation is over 18% during the surgery to keep the normovolemia.
  2. If total Voluven use is over 1500ml and then the anesthesiologist will infuse Saline 250 ml instead.
  3. The maintenance of basal fluid, criteria to use inotropes (If cardiac index is below 2.5 l/min/m2 ) are the same standards in the both groups.
