Goal-directed Fluid Therapy in Elderly Patients Undergoing Lumbar Surgery

May 13, 2021 updated by: Huang YuGuang, Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Goal-directed Fluid Therapy in Elderly Patients Undergoing Lumbar Decompression Surgery in the Prone Position: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

This is a randomized controlled clinical trial which investigates whether goal directed fluid therapy( GDT ) would show the evidence of benefit from GDT in terms of lactate kinetics then may reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing spine surgery, especially in prone positions.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients aged > 60 undergoing lumbar decompression surgery will be randomly assigned to either a GDT ( goal directed fluid therapy) group or a control group, who received conventional anesthesiologist-directed fluid therapy. Perioperative lactic acid concentrations with 7 different time point, intraoperative fluid balance and postoperative complications from admittance to 30 days after surgery were recorded. This RCT is conducted to show the evidence of benefit from GDT in terms of lactate kinetics then may reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing spine surgery, especially in prone positions.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • age > 60 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists score II-III, and expected duration of operation > 2 h

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with severe cardiac arrhythmia (which would affect the accuracy of stroke volume variation as an indicator of fluid responsiveness), vascular disease (which would prohibit radial artery cannulation), and mental disorder were excluded

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Triple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: GDT group
The fluid in GDT group (Goal-directed fluid therapy) will be administered based upon real-time monitoring stroke volume variation and cardiac output achieved by the LiDCO monitoring system.
Applying continuous hemodynamic monitoring system ( LiDCO) to monitor Stroke Volume Variation and Cardiac Output and further manage intra-operative fluid therapy.
No Intervention: Control group
Patients in the control group received conventional fluid therapy, decided by the attending anesthesiologists based on the patient's hemodynamic condition and responses, to maintain MAP >65 mm Hg, heart rate 50-100 bpm, and urine output >0.5 ml/kg/h.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lactic acid concentrations throughout the perioperative
Time Frame: from 24 hours before surgery to 24 hours after the surgery
the change of lactic acid concentrations(mmol/l) throughout the perioperative period
from 24 hours before surgery to 24 hours after the surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
intraoperative fluid balance, DO2I and predefined moderate or major postoperative complications in 30-day.
Time Frame: 30 days after the surgery

Intraoperative fluid balance include the volumes of crystalloids(ml), colloids(ml) and total volumes of intravenous fluids and output of the patients during surgery.

Derived DO2I(oxygen delivery index, ml/min·m2) variables were calculated according to standard formulae. The incidence of complications related to surgeries 30 days postoperatively. The complications include pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, heart failure), wound infection, gastrointestinal bleeding,nausea and vomitting,postoperative hemorrhage, ileus, deep venous thrombosis, cerebral infarction, cerebral embolism, cerebral hemorrhage, renal insufficiency and failure. Those complications are defined strictly to the reference published in 2009 New England Journal of Medicine (N Engl J Med. 2009 Oct 1;361:1368-75)
