Twenty percent human albumin solution fluid bolus administration therapy in patients after cardiac surgery-II: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

After cardiac surgery, fluid bolus therapy (FBT) with 20% human albumin may facilitate less fluid and vasopressor administration than FBT with crystalloids. We aimed to determine whether, after cardiac surgery, FBT with 20% albumin reduces the duration of vasopressor therapy compared with crystalloid FBT.

Methods

We conducted a multicentre, parallel-group, open-label, randomised clinical trial in six intensive care units (ICUs) involving cardiac surgery patients deemed to require FBT. We randomised 240 patients to receive up to 400 mL of 20% albumin/day as FBT, followed by 4% albumin for any subsequent FBT on that day, or to crystalloid FBT for at least the first 1000 mL, with use of crystalloid or 4% albumin FBT thereafter. The primary outcome was the cumulative duration of vasopressor therapy. Secondary outcomes included fluid balance.

Results

Of 480 randomised patients, 466 provided consent and contributed to the primary outcome (mean age 65 years; median EuroSCORE II 1.4). The cumulative median duration of vasopressor therapy was 7 (interquartile range [IQR] 0-19.6) hours with 20% albumin and 10.8 (IQR 0-22.8) hours with crystalloids (difference - 3.8 h, 95% confidence interval [CI] - 8 to 0.4; P = 0.08). Day one fluid balance was less with 20% albumin FBT (mean difference - 701 mL, 95% CI - 872 to - 530).

Conclusions

In patients after cardiac surgery, when compared to a crystalloid-based FBT, 20% albumin FBT was associated with a reduced positive fluid balance but did not significantly reduce the duration of vasopressor therapy.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate colloids and crystalloids used in perioperative fluid therapy for cardiac surgery patients to further investigate the optimal management strategies of different solutions.MethodRCTs about adult surgical patients allocated to receive perioperative fluid therapy for electronic databases, including Ovid MEDLINE, EMBase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, were searched up to February 15, 2023.ResultsNone of the results based on network comparisons, including mortality, transfuse PLA, postoperative chest tube output over the first 24 h following surgery, and length of hospital stay, were statistically significant. Due to the small number of included studies, the results, including acute kidney injury, serum creatinine, serum microglobulin, and blood urea nitrogen, are from the direct comparison. For transfusion of RBCs, significant differences were observed in the comparisons of 3% gelatine vs. 6% HES 200/0.5, 4% albumin vs. 5% albumin, 4% gelatine vs. 5% albumin, 5% albumin vs. 6% HES 200/0.5, and 6% HES 130/0.4 vs. 6% HES 200/0.5. In transfusion of FFP, significant differences were observed in comparisons of 3% gelatine vs. 4% gelatine, 3% gelatine vs. 6% HES 200/0.5, 5% albumin vs. 6% HES 200/0.5, 4% gelatine vs. 5% albumin, 4% gelatine vs. 6% HES 200/0.4, and 6% HES 130/0.4 vs. 6% HES 200/0.5. For urinary output at 24 h after surgery, the results are deposited in the main text.ConclusionThis study showed that 3% gelatin and 5% albumin can reduce the transfuse RBC and FFP. In addition, the use of hypertonic saline solution can increase urine output, and 5% albumin and 6% HES can shorten the length of ICU stay. However, none of the perioperative fluids showed an objective advantage in various outcomes, including mortality, transfuse PLA, postoperative chest tube output over the first 24 h following surgery, and length of hospital stay. The reliable and sufficient evidences on the injury of the kidney, including acute kidney injury, serum creatinine, serum microglobulin, and blood urea nitrogen, was still lacking. In general, perioperative fluids had advantages and disadvantages, and there were no evidences to support the recommendation of the optimal perioperative fluid for cardiac surgery.

Project description:BackgroundFluid resuscitation is the recommended management of shock, but increased mortality in febrile African children in the FEAST trial. We hypothesised that fluid bolus-induced deaths in FEAST would be associated with detectable changes in cardiovascular, neurological, or respiratory function, oxygen carrying capacity, and blood biochemistry.MethodsWe developed composite scores for respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological function using vital sign data from the FEAST trial, and used them to compare participants from FEAST with those from four other cohorts and to identify differences between the bolus (n=2097) and no bolus (n=1044) groups of FEAST. We calculated the odds of adverse outcome for each ten-unit increase in baseline score using logistic regression for each cohort. Within FEAST participants, we also compared haemoglobin and plasma biochemistry between bolus and non-bolus patients, assessed the effects of these factors along with the vital sign scores on the contribution of bolus to mortality using Cox proportional hazard models, and used Bayesian clustering to identify subgroups that differed in response to bolus. The FEAST trial is registered with ISRCTN, number ISRCTN69856593.FindingsIncreasing respiratory (odds ratio 1·09, 95% CI 1·07-1·11), neurological (1·26, 1·21-1·31), and cardiovascular scores (1·09, 1·05-1·14) were associated with death in FEAST (all p<0·0001), and with adverse outcomes for specific scores in the four other cohorts. In FEAST, fluid bolus increased respiratory and neurological scores and decreased cardiovascular score at 1 h after commencement of the infusion. Fluid bolus recipients had mean 0·33 g/dL (95% CI 0·20-0·46) reduction in haemoglobin concentration after 8 h (p<0·0001), and at 24 h had a decrease of 1·41 mEq/L (95% CI 0·76-2·06; p=0·0002) in mean base excess and increase of 1·65 mmol/L (0·47-2·8; p=0·0070) in mean chloride, and a decrease of 0·96 mmol/L (0·45 to 1·47; p=0·0003) in bicarbonate. There were similar effects of fluid bolus in three patient subgroups, identified on the basis of their baseline characteristics. Hyperchloraemic acidosis and respiratory and neurological dysfunction induced by saline or albumin bolus explained the excess mortality due to bolus in Cox survival models.InterpretationIn the resuscitation of febrile children, albumin and saline boluses can cause respiratory and neurological dysfunction, hyperchloraemic acidosis, and reduction in haemoglobin concentration. The findings support the notion that fluid resuscitation with unbuffered electrolyte solutions may cause harm and their use should be cautioned. The effects of lower volumes of buffered solutions should be evaluated further.FundingMedical Research Council, Department for International Development, National Institute for Health Research, Imperial College Biomedical Research Centre.

Project description:IntroductionIntravenous fluid therapy during gastrointestinal surgery is a life-saving part of the perioperative care. Too little fluid may lead to hypovolaemia, decreased organ perfusion and circulatory shock. Excessive fluid administration increases postoperative complications, worsens pulmonary and cardiac function as well as the healing of surgical wounds. Intraoperative individualised goal-directed fluid therapy (GDT) and zero-balance therapy (weight adjusted) has shown to reduce postoperative complications in elective surgery, but studies in urgent gastrointestinal surgery are sparse. The aim of the trial is to test whether zero-balance GDT reduces postoperative mortality and major complications following urgent surgery for obstructive bowel disease or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract compared with a protocolled standard of care.Methods/analysisThis study is a multicentre, randomised controlled trial with planned inclusion of 310 patients. The randomisation procedure is stratified by hospital and by obstructive bowel disease and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients are allocated into either 'the standard group' or 'the zero-balance GDT group'. The latter receive intraoperative GDT (guided by a stroke volume algorithm) and postoperative zero-balance fluid therapy based on body weight and fluid charts. The protocolled treatment continues until free oral intake or the seventh postoperative day.The primary composite outcome is death, unplanned reoperations, life-threatening thromboembolic and bleeding complications, a need for mechanical ventilation or dialysis. Secondary outcomes are additional complications, length of hospital stay, length of stay in the intensive care unit, length of mechanical ventilation, readmissions and time to death. Follow-up is 90 days.We plan intention-to-treat analysis of the primary outcome.Ethics and disseminationThe Danish Scientific Ethics Committee approved the GAS-ART trial before patient enrolment (J: SJ-436). Enrolment of patients began in August 2015 and is proceeding. We expect to publish the GAS-ART results in Summer 2019.Trial registration numberEudraCT 2015-000563-14.
