Efficacy and Safety of Hypertonic Sodium Lactate Solution Compared With 6% HES Solution in CABG Patients

A Phase , Prospective, Randomized, Open-label Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Hypertonic Sodium Lactate Solution Compared With 6% HES Solution in CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) Patients

The choice of fluid therapy is controversial in cardiac surgery. Numerous studies have shown that colloid is better as compared to crystalloids. Several previous studies have demonstrated that Hypertonic Sodium Lactate (HSL) administration during cardiac surgery shows a promising effect. This study aims to compare hemodynamic effects and fluid balance of HSL with 6% Hydroxy Ethyl Starch (HES).

The primary objectives of this prospective, randomized and open-label study are as follows: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Hypertonic Sodium Lactate (HSL) in comparison with 6% HES to maintain hemodynamic stability in intra CABG patients related to hemodynamic status and Body fluid balance. To assess the safety of HSL in intra CABG patients related to defined laboratory parameters clinical adverse events which occur during the trial. Subjects meeting enrolment criteria will be randomly assigned to HSL or 6%HES treatment groups. Assessment of comparability will be done by unpaired student t-test or Chi-Square test or by a two-way ANOVA for repeated measures followed by post-hoc analysis when significant difference is found within the two groups. The hypothesis tested is that HSL is effective in intra CABG surgery patients, requiring less volume with better cardiac index, as compared to 6% HES.

Administered at beginning of surgery as loading dose at 3 mL/kg body weight within 15 minutes. Additional fluid administered if needed and this was was managed similarly in both groups; the types and amount of additional fluid was measured and recorded. Surgery procedure and concomitant medication was managed similarly.

• Evaluation of efficacy of Hypertonic Sodium Lactate against 6% HES to maintain hemodynamic stability in intra CABG patients: Hemodynamic status (CI, MAP, PVR/PVRI, SVR/SVRI, CVP, PAM, PAW, HR). Body fluid balance (urinary output; total fluid loss including urine and hemorrhage; total fluid infusion including HSL and 6% HES, blood product and other fluids).

Assessed from baseline till upto end of surgery(mean duration of surgery was 372.47 ± 122.82 min in HSLgroup vs 380.61 ± 82.08 min in HES group

Assess safety of HSL in intra CABG patients: Lab parameters: Hb, HCT, Na,K, Cl, Mg, lactate, glucose, and arterial blood gas. Adverse events
