Indicators of Operative & Postoperative Complications in Patients Operated

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients operated for hip fractures are older and have several conditions that have negative influences on the perioperative and postoperative prognosis.

Hip fractures can also be painful, which is stressful for the physiology of the patient. Many old patients have received to little fluid intake. They often have diuretic therapy, which even worsens dehydration/hypovolemia.

Some patients have to wait several days for surgery. Several studies have shown a high degree of complications and an increased mortality in this patient group.

Early preoperative optimization can improve the outcome. The available methods for optimization of the patient are complicated and time consuming.

The investigators wish with this study to try new approaches to find which patients still are dehydrated when they come to the operation ward.

The aim is to measure the color and density of the urine as well as to register the the variability in the plethysmographic curve before spinal anaesthesia.

These results will be compared to circulatory instability during and after surgery as well as to postoperative complications.

Clinical Trial Description

All patients with hip fractures planed fore surgery at the Hospital in Norrkoping will come into consideration to participate in study.

Many will however not be able to give consent. These will not be included in the study.

Directly preoperatively urine will be collected. Color and density will be measured/registered.

The pulseoximeter reading will be registered (Saturation, pulse, PI and PVI) before spinal anaesthesia and after spinal anaesthesia as well as during the surgery.

Two to three days postoperatively a follow up will be performed, to register complications (Circulatory instability, confusion, infection, affected kidney function/creatinine rise).

30 day postoperative mortality will also be controlled.

These results will be compared, to see if pulse oximeter readings or urine concentration can predict complications. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
