Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Study primary endpoints variables are: - Intravascular COP - Plasma albumin concentration - Body weight gain measured at the end of the operation, before leaving the operation room. We expect 50 % increase of COP and albumin levels by implementation of the new protocol. The body weight gain is expected to be diminished by 75%. Additionally, we would like to study the relationship between the COP value at the end of the operation and postoperative transfusion requirements and blood loss, gas exchange, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Study secondary endpoints variables are: - Postoperative blood loss - Amount of transfused RBCs, FFP and GPO - PaO2/FiO2 gas exchange factor measured at the end of operation - Duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation and length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). The difference of 50 % is expected between the groups. The statistically significant (p=0,05) correlation between the COP value at the end of the operation and secondary variables will be established. | — |
