For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Lactated Ringer's Fluid (LR) | Lactated Ringer's (LR) fluid will be administered to patients randomized to the experimental arm. LR will be used for all fluid boluses and maintenance fluids (supplemental electrolytes are allowed) from time immediately after randomization through 11:59 pm of the next calender day. The determination of when to give fluid, how much fluid to give, how fast to give fluid, and what access to use to administer fluid will remain at the discretion of the treating team. Lactated Ringer: LR is a sterile, nonpyrogenic "balanced" solution used for fluid and electrolyte replenishment via intravenous or intraosseous administration. Each 100 mL of LR contains 600 mg sodium chloride (NaCl), 310 mg of sodium lactate (C3H5NaO3), 30 mg of potassium chloride (KCl), and 20 mg of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ยท 2H20) with an approximate potential of hydrogen (pH) of 6.5 (6.0 to 7.5). | 0 | None | 4 | 24 | 11 | 24 | View |
| 0.9% "Normal" Saline Fluid (NS) | 0.9% "normal" saline (NS) fluid will be administered to patients randomized to the active comparator (control) arm. NS will be used for all fluid boluses and maintenance fluids (supplemental electrolytes are allowed) from time immediately after randomization through 11:59 pm of the next calender day. The determination of when to give fluid, how much fluid to give, how fast to give fluid, and what access to use to administer fluid will remain at the discretion of the treating team. Normal saline: Normal saline solution is an "unbalanced" crystalloid solution containing 154 mEq/L of sodium and 154 milliequivalent (mEq/L) of chloride. | 1 | None | 2 | 26 | 12 | 26 | View |
