ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the amount of fluids given to patients during and after lower limb surgeries can affect their recovery. Researchers want to find out if controlling fluid levels can help patients feel better and recover faster after surgery. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it will focus on adults aged 21 to 65 who are planning to have elective surgeries on their legs using spinal anesthesia.

To be eligible for the trial, patients should have a body mass index (BMI) of less than 35 and be in good health (classified as ASA Class I or II, which means they have minimal to no health issues). However, individuals with serious kidney, liver, respiratory, or heart diseases, or who cannot have spinal anesthesia, won't be able to participate. If you decide to take part, you can expect to receive personalized care regarding your fluid intake during the surgery, which may lead to better outcomes.
