Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Volume Replacement with Volulyte 6% in Moderate-to-high Cardiovascular Risk Patients Having Major Abdominal Surgery

Safety and Efficacy of Perioperative Volume Replacement with Volulyte 6% in Moderate-to-high Cardiovascular Risk Patients Having Major Abdominal Surgery: a Parallel-group, Double-blind Randomized Trial

The investigators propose a multicenter randomized trial to test the renal safety of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 combined with sodium acetate Ringer's crystalloid solution in moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk patients having major abdominal surgery. The reference group will only be given sodium acetate Ringer's crystalloid.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators propose a multicenter randomized trial to test the renal safety of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 combined with sodium acetate Ringer's crystalloid solution in moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk patients having major abdominal surgery. The reference group will only be given sodium acetate Ringer's crystalloid.

The investigators will test the primary hypothesis that the maximum decrease in serum Cystatin-C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from preoperatively through the initial 3 postoperative hospital days is non-inferior in patients who are randomized to a goal-directed combination of HES and crystalloid volume replacement versus goal-directed crystalloid alone.

Secondarily, the investigators will determine the long-term renal safety (cystatin C-based eGFR on postoperative 1 and 3 months) of HES and its effect on major adverse cardiovascular events and the length of hospitalization. Exploratory outcomes will include intraoperative hemodynamic indices, postoperative gastrointestinal indicators, the rate of unscheduled transferring to intensive care unit, the incidence of hospital re-admission within 30 days, the incidence of renal replacement therapy within 90 days after surgery, and the incidence of acute kidney injury based on serum creatine within 7 days.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4
Individualized goal-directed administration of 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4: After the induction of anesthesia, 200 ml trial fluid will be infused over 20 min. If stroke volume (SV) increases >10%, another 200 ml fluid will be given. After that, the use of trial fluid will be determined by the patients' Stroke Volume Variation (SVV). If the SVV exceeds 12%, 200 ml trial fluid will be given over 20 min; this will be repeated until SVV <12%. If the use of HES exceeds 30 ml/kg, sodium acetate Ringer will be replaced. In addition, patients will have a background infusion of sodium acetate Ringer's solution at 4 ml/kg/h to satisfy the maintenance fluid requirements during surgery.
