Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Demonstrate equivalence of 6 % HES 130/0.4 and 5% HSA with regard to the total volume of colloid solution (HES/HSA plus rescue colloid, if applicable) in mL/kg body weight required for intraoperative volume replacement including priming of the ECC;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to compare haemodynamics, fluid input/output, the use of vasoactive and inotropic drugs, and safety parameters such as blood gas analyses, laboratory parameters, haemostasis, urinary biomarkers of acute kidney injury, blood loss and transfusion, patient outcome, and adverse events;Primary end point(s): The aim of the study is to prove equivalence, whereby the investigational drug is considered equivalent to the control drug, if the ratio of means investigational / control (plus any rescue colloid) is in the range 0.55 - 1.82.
