Brief summary

The SUSTAIN Trial is a randomized control trial that allows for the control of aggressive hydration that is currently used in an inpatient setting, which can result is fluid overload in certain patients. With the impression that changes in stroke volume in individual patient will further improve the outcome.

Detailed description

The proposed SUSTAIN Trial Study (Stroke volUme-baSed fluid resuscitation), a multi-center randomized controlled trial which will address these knowledge gaps in acute pancreatitis. Recently demonstration from the WATERFALL (Early Weight-Based Aggressive vs. ModeraTE Goal-DiRected Fluid ResuscitAtion) randomized controlled trial that aggressive hydration increased the risk of fluid overload without improving the clinical course of AP compared with a moderate hydration strategy. With further suggestions, rather than a generic body weight-based approach, tailoring fluid requirements to changes in stoke volume in individual patients will further improve outcomes.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients between the age of 18-75 * Predicted moderate and severe acute pancreatitis, which will be defined by the presence of SIRs, within 24 hours of enrollment

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with the inability to preform a straight leg raise (i.e amputation) * Patients with high risk of adverse event related to fluid resuscitation * NYHA Class \>= II Heart Failure * Child's B and C Cirrhosis * Dialysis Requirement * Clinical signs of hypervolemia, including pulmonary congestion (i.e dyspnea, pulmonary crackles on exam, interstitual edema on imaging) and ascites * Ages \<18 years old * Pregnant * Incarcerated * Unable to provide informed consent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
SIRS Values at the 48 hours after enrollement48 hoursThe primary endpoint for this study will be the presence of SIRS at 48 hours from enrollment defined as \>2 SIRS criteria (HR \>90, RR \>20, temperature \>38C or \<36C, and WBC \>12,000 or \<4,000 cells/mm3). SIRS is a marker of disease severity and also may be converted to a SIRS score (number of criterion).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Secondary Clinical EndpointsBeginning of randomization to 48 hours and between endpoints.\- Participants who have a \>=2 SIRS score
Modified pancreatitis activity scoring system (mPASS) score.From enrollment until 48 hours following enrollment.
Complications that arise during the inpatient settingFrom enrollment until 30 days after enrollment.Local complications, incidence and interventions, Organ failure, incidence and interventions (RAC definitions)
Dutch Composite EndpointDay 30Including death and major morbidity
Participant's Condition during their length of stay (LOS)From enrollment to 30 days after enrollment.The amount of days alive and wellbeing of the participant, including length of stay (LOS) and days in/out of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
C Reactive proteinRandomization to 48 hours and between timepointsWill be collected at randomization with the respective units: mg/dL
IL-6Randomization to 48 hours and between timepointsWill be collected at randomization with the respective units: pg/dL
MCP-1Randomization to 48 hours and between timepointsWill be collected with the respective units: pg/dL
ResistinRandomization to 48 hours and between timepointsInflammatory Response. Will be collected with the respective units: ng/dL
