Traditional vs Oral Fluid Management in Total Knee Arthroplasty

NCT03719378 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study 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.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03719378

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03719378 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 150 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Colorado Joint Replacement, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Pre Operative Oral Fluids is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03719378 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
