Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
haemodynamic effects
SV is the amount of blood that leaves the left ventricle with every beat cycle and is calculated by measuring the Doppler flow in the aortic valve. Unit: ml
Secondary outcomes
acid-base effect
Diagnostic approach to acid-base changes is based on the assessment of bicarbonate buffer system, in which pH is determined by the ratio of \[HCO3-\] to pCO2 meassured by a POC whole-blood analyzer system Unit: \[HCO3-\] - mmol/l, pCO2 - kPa
anti-inflammatory effect
Inflammatory markers as CRP, procalcitonin, interleukin-6 and feritin are sepcific indicators linked to degree of inflammation and determined by regular biochemical analysis. The dynamics of parameters after the study fluid administration will be evaluated. Unit: CRP - mg/l, procalcitonin - ug/l, interleukin-6 - ng/l, ferritin - ug/l
Safety - Incidence of adverse events and reactions
Incidence of adverse events and reactions according to following Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) and descriptive analysis of the incidence of any adverse events and reactions during participation in the study in both study arms. AEs are defined according to the valid definitions for clinical trials as imposed by legislation (Directive 2001/20/EG).
