Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this research study is to compare two different fluids (Human Albumin Solution (HAS) and Balanced Crystalloid that are given via a drip to patients with severe infection (sepsis). The investigators plan to see which fluid is better, and to see if they have a role in improving a patient's recovery time, reducing complications and the length of time they stay in hospital. This study plans to find out if there is evidence that one fluid is better overall to determine the need for a subsequent definitive trial.


Clinical Trial Description

This trial will be an open label two-arm, multicentre, pragmatic, parallel group randomised trial of adult patients with community acquired sepsis recruited from the Emergency Department and Medical and Surgical Assessment Units across ~10 UK NHS Hospitals. The treatment phase will be the first 6 hours following randomisation. 30-day and 90-day follow up will be conducted using routine data only. The exception to this will be the first 50 patients enrolled in the study, Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) will be measured using the EQ-5D-5L at baseline, 7 days and at 180 days. At baseline, the participant or their relative will be asked to recall the quality of life 4 weeks prior to the index hospital admission. Questionnaires will be administered by direct patient completion or, postal or email survey with telephone follow up for non-responders after two mailings two weeks apart. ;
