Comparison in terms of efficacy and safety of gelatine in two different electrolyte solutions in patients scheduled for abdominal surgery.

Prospective controlled double-blind phase III bicentre study on the efficacy and safety of a balanced gelatine solution in combination with a balanced electrolyte solution versus a standard gelatine solution in combination with a non-balanced electrolyte solution in patients scheduled for abdominal surgery

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the change in acid-base balance from baseline to end of surgery;Secondary Objective: To investigate safety and efficacy parameters ;Primary end point(s): Difference in base excess and chloride (baseline - end of surgery) after treatment between the two volume replacement regimens;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline – immediately after end of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - arterial blood gase analyses, - coagulation status - renal function - requirement of blood products - adverse events - hemodynamics - investigational product administration according to the defined algorithm - clinical outcome - demographic data - surgery related data;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline – 12 hours after end of surgery
