Active clinical trials for "Hypovolemia"

The study shall evaluate the volume effect and safety of 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 for restoration and maintenance of hemodynamics during the investigational period in patients undergoing major elective surgery. Up to 50 mL 6% hydroxyethyl starch/kg body weight will be administered from start of surgery until two hours after end of surgery. The study hypothesis is that 6 % hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 will have a reliable volume effect and can be safely administered up to the dose limit.

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled (standard therapy + placebo), phase 2 efficacy and safety study of the Tolvaptan tablets in treatment of patients with non-hypovolemic non-acute hyponatremia arising from a variety of etiologies. 240 (120 in each group) patients are to be enrolled randomly into Tolvaptan group or placebo group. Subjects in Tolvaptan group will receive standard therapy + Tolvaptan (15-60mg/day), while those in control group receiving standard therapy + placebo. The starting dose of tolvaptan is 15mg and it could be titrated up to 30mg and then,if necessary, to the maximum of 60mg according to a certain titration scheme based on patients' response of serum sodium level. The study includes a 2-day screening period from day -2 to day -1, 7-day inpatient study treatment (day 1 to day 7 ). After study treatment, subjects will be Followed-up on safety events on day 14 - 16. The Primary Efficacy Variable is the change of serum sodium from baseline. For patients with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) or hepatic cirrhosis, change of body weight, fluid balance and symptoms improvement of CHF and hepatic edema will be assessed as secondary efficacy variables.

This is a prospective, multi-centric, randomized, double-blind, parallel, controlled phase-II efficacy clinical study of PMZ-2010 therapy in patients with hypovolemic shock. Centhaquine is highly safe and well tolerated. Toxicological studies showed high safety margin in preclinical studies. Its safety and tolerability has been demonstrated in a human phase I study in 25 subjects (CTRI/2014/06/004647; NCT02408731).

The aim of volume replacement is to compensate a reduction in the intravascular volume e.g. during surgery and to counteract hypovolemia in order to maintain hemodynamics and vital functions. To achieve this, different plasma substitutes are available: Albumin, dextran, hydroxyethylstarches and gelatine. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that acid-base alterations during elective abdominal surgery can be reduced by the use of a new gelatine solution.

The aim of the study is to investigate the safety of a 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solution (Volulyte 6%) versus an electrolyte solution (Ionolyte) in trauma patients.

The aim of this study is to determinate the equipotent doses of inhaled metoxyflurane vs. intravenous fentanyl.

The study shall evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different hydroxyethyl starch solutions (artificial colloids 6% HES130/0.4 and 6% HES70/0.5, Salinhes®) for intra-operative therapy of hypovolemia and maintenance of circulating blood volume in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the required volume of colloid solution infused from start until end of surgery. It is the aim of the clinical trial to demonstrate that comparable volumes of colloid solution are used between treatment groups.

This trial will address the question of whether early application of the Non-pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment (NASG) at the Satellite Health Facility (SHF) level before transport to a Referral Hospital (RH) will decrease maternal mortality and morbidity. The available evidence indicates that the NASG substantially decreases blood loss, but there is no evidence that its application will reduce extreme adverse outcomes. It is also not known if possible side effects associated with NASG use might outweigh potential benefits. This study would rigorously test the effectiveness of the NASG using an experimental design with adequate power to detect statistically significant decreases in morbidity and mortality.

The purpose of the present trial is therefore to assess effects of arginine vasopressin vs. saline placebo on hospital admission rate (primary end point), as well as hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements and hospital discharge rate (secondary study end points) in presumed traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients with a systolic arterial blood pressure <90 mm Hg after 10 min of standard shock treatment. Accordingly, the study reflects an add-on design to standard traumatic shock therapy. The hypothesis is that both arginine vasopressin and saline placebo have comparable effects on hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements, and hospital admission and discharge rate. The alternative hypothesis is that arginine vasopressin has more beneficial effects on hemodynamic variables, fluid resuscitation requirements, and hospital admission and discharge rate than saline placebo.

The aim of PLUS is to conduct a multi-centre, blinded, randomised, controlled trial (RCT) to determine whether fluid resuscitation and therapy with a "balanced" crystalloid solution (Plasma-Lyte 148®) decreases 90-day mortality in critically ill patients requiring fluid resuscitation when compared with the same treatment using 0.9% sodium chloride (saline)
