Trial overview
The available trial for SODIUM LACTATE (AS 50% SOLUTION) is called The Colder Fluids Study and it looked at how fluid temperature affects the body’s response during infusion.[1] The study compared cold fluid at 10 degrees Celsius with fluid at room temperature at 22 degrees Celsius.[1]
This study focused on hemodynamic parameters, which are measures of blood flow and blood pressure.[1] The brief summary says it was a randomized controlled crossover study in healthy adults.[1]
Study design and participants
The study was interventional, which means the researchers gave a fluid and observed what happened.[1] It used a randomized controlled crossover design, meaning the treatment order was chosen by chance and participants received the compared conditions in a crossover format.[1]
The target population was healthy adults.[1] The trial data do not list a disease condition or a special patient group beyond this healthy volunteer population.[1]
What was measured in the trial
The primary outcome was the increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) 30 minutes after the fluid bolus started.[1] MAP is the average pressure in the arteries during a heartbeat cycle and is used to track circulation.[1]
The pressure was measured with a standard non-invasive blood pressure cuff.[1] This means the study used a cuff around the arm instead of a needle or invasive monitor.[1]
Trial phase and status
This study was in Phase 1, which is an early stage of clinical research.[1] Phase 1 studies often focus on how people respond to an intervention and on basic safety or body effects.[1]
The trial status is Completed, and the enrollment was 25 participants.[1]
Patient-focused terms
A fluid bolus is a larger amount of fluid given over a short time.[1] In this study, the fluid was given by intravenous infusion, which means directly into a vein.[1]
A crossover study helps compare two conditions in the same people, so each participant can serve as their own comparison.[1] This can help reduce differences between participants when looking at the study result.[1]
