A Comparison of Crystalloids vs. Colloids for Intraoperative Goal-directed Fluid Management
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Lactated Ringer's Solution and Hydroxyethylstarch 6% 130/0.4 for Fluid Overload and Postoperative Complications. Completed, enrolled 1,109 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to test whether colloid-based goal-directed intraoperative fluid management leads to less perioperative morbidity compared to crystalloid-based goal-directed intraoperative fluid management. Goal-directed therapy is based on measurements by an Esophageal Doppler Device.

Interventions
Arm Nr 1: If corrected flow time (fTc), measured by esophageal doppler, falls below 350 msec, 250 ml of Lactated Ringer's Solution will be administered.
Arm Nr 2: If corrected flow time (fTc), measured by esophageal doppler, falls below 350 msec, 250 ml of Hydroxyethylstarch 6% 130/0.4 will be administered.
