General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To study the safety of intravenous hypertonic saline in reducing intraocular pressure
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
We required the patients to be fluent in Finnish or Swedish. We excluded patients diagnosed with heart and kidney failure, dementia, or another condition that markedly decreased their physical performance. We measured blood pressure and heart rate automatically with an anaesthesia monitor. We took measurements before the bolus (baseline), 10, 20, 60 and 120 minutes after the bolus. We asked the patients to grade the pain at the infusion site on a scale from 0 to 10; zero for no pain, and 10 for the most intense (intolerable) pain. Any other side effect was additionally recorded.
|
||
Background therapy |
We cannulated an antecubital vein in either the right or left arm. We rinsed the cannula with 3 ml physiologic saline to confirm its intravenous position. The IVTHS dose corresponds to a 20 ml injection for an 80 kg patient. We infused the bolus at 1 ml/s, and then rinsed the cannula and vein with physiologic saline using 5 ml after the bolus. | ||

Recruitment
|
|||||||||||||||
Recruitment details |
Eligible to our study were patients who were 25–80 years old. We required the patients to be fluent in Finnish or Swedish. We excluded patients diagnosed with heart and kidney failure, dementia, or another condition that markedly decreased their physical performance. | ||||||||||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||||||||||
Screening details |
We screened three patients for the study. One patient was excluded because we could not get any blood from the cannulated vein. One patient was excluded because of high blood pressure and severe obesity. | ||||||||||||||

Dosage and administration details |
We cannulated an antecubital vein in either the right or left arm. We rinsed the cannula with 3 ml physiologic saline to confirm its intravenous position. The dosage of IVHTS was 1 mmol/kg sodium chloride in all patients. We infused the bolus at 1 ml/s, and then rinsed the cannula and vein with physiologic saline using 5 ml after the bolus. We took blood samples from the same cannula.

End point description |
We took blood samples from the patiens before the NaCl-bolus (baseline) and 10, 20, 60 ja 120 minutes after the bolus. We studied the following values: Na, K, Cl, Ca, albumin, phosphate, renin, aldosterone, serum osmolality, copeptin and blood gas analysis from the venous blood (pH, PCO2, base excess).
