Adverse Events Module
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

| Title | Description | Deaths # Affected | Deaths # At Risk | Serious # Affected | Serious # At Risk | Other # Affected | Other # At Risk | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fluid Minimization Group | Patients in the fluid minimization arm will have daily fluid intake and output, baseline central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, central venous oxygen saturation, pulse pressure variation, and inferior vena cava diameters during inspiration and expiration recorded by a dedicated research fellow. Intubated patients will also have corrected flow time, stroke volume, cardiac output, and cardiac index recorded via CardioQ. Fluid challenge as a leg raise or infusion of 250 mL of crystalloid over 5 minutes will be performed and parameters repeated. Fluid responsiveness based on the changes in the parameters. Fluid nonresponsive patients will undergo the fluid minimization protocol. Fluid minimization protocol: Fluid nonresponsive patients will have continuous infusions concentrated, maintenance fluids discontinued, and carrier fluids minimized. Diuretics and/or ultrafiltration will be utilized to maintain an even to negative fluid balance. | 23 | None | 0 | 41 | 0 | 41 | View |
| Usual Care Group | Patients in the usual care arm will have daily fluid intake and output, baseline central venous pressure, mean arterial pressure, central venous oxygen saturation, pulse pressure variation, and inferior vena cava diameters during inspiration and expiration recorded by a dedicated research fellow. Patients who are intubated will also have corrected flow time, stroke volume, cardiac output, and cardiac index recorded via CardioQ. | 20 | None | 0 | 41 | 0 | 41 | View |
