About this study

Official title: Descriptive Study Concerning the Connection Between SvO2 and Orthostatic Function Post Operatively

It is the purpose of the investigators to investigate the possible relationship between fall in the amount of Oxygen in the blood and disturbances of balance-function before and after surgery.

Read the detailed description

It has been shown that the mixed venous saturation (SvO2) is usable as a parameter of fluid status. It has also been suggested that there is a connection between SvO2 and blood flow in tissue , and that a SvO2 of less than 40% is a sign of tissue hypoxia.

Recently it has been shown that patients going through heart surgery experience a drop in SvO2 during early mobilization.This drop lasts throughout the mobilisation process.

We want to investigate whether the same mechanism applies to patients going through other types of surgery, and whether there is a connection between a drop in SvO2 and orthostatic function.

This will be done by making 3 tests. One pre-operatively,one six hours post-operatively and one 18-24 hours after surgery.

The tests will consist of:

  1. 10 min of rest.
  2. 3 min of sitting upright on the side of the bed. C. 3 min of standing on the floor. D. 10 min of rest.

Between each position a venous blood sample will be taken. Also 1 blood sample will be taken at the end of surgery.

Continuous measurements by the Finapres system wil be made throughout the test-sequence to investigate changes in BP, SV, TPR and HR.

At the same time the patient will be pain-scored when taking a new position.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgery, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 2 sites in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jun 2013.
