Traditional vs Oral Fluid Management in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose: Evidence-based guidelines on optimal perioperative fluid management have not been established in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Recent randomized trials in major abdominal surgery suggest that large amounts of IV fluid may increase morbidity and hospital stay. This study will investigate the effects of two regimens of intraoperative fluid management ("traditional" vs. "oral") with physiologic and patient function as primary outcome measures after surgery.

Clinical Trial Description

Evidence-based guidelines on optimal perioperative fluid management have not been established in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Typical intraoperative and post-operative fluid management has been arbitrary without evidence based guidelines established following total joint replacement. The investigators have observed many patients post-operatively with side effects such as fluid overload leading to medical complications requiring either prolonged hospitalization or readmission. Additionally, this overload may lead to wound healing complications secondary to fluid shifts which may be devastating in this patient population. Recent randomized trials in major abdominal surgery suggest that large amounts of IV fluid may increase morbidity and hospital stay. Additionally, this increase fluid may be detrimental in patients with anastomosis leading to failure and/or complications in this patient population. The investigators have defined to specific groups of interest to study in this patient population with regards to fluid management. The first group is the "traditional" IV fluid group where the anesthesiologist gives an unspecific amount of fluid intraoperatively and post-operatively the patient gets a set amount of fluid based on "protocol" on the orthopaedic floor (i.e. 75 cc/hour until good oral intake). This is the protocol utilized by most orthopaedic practices throughout the United States. The second group is defined as patients who are given a specific protocol preoperatively to optimize hydration, followed by limited fluids intraoperatively based on physiologic parameters. This study will investigate the effects of two regimens of intraoperative fluid management ("traditional" vs. "oral") with ;

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.
