Trial summary

The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the influence of therapeutic hypothermia on resting energy expenditure (REE) in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We hypothesized that hypothermia would reduce resting energy expenditure in these patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Therapeutic Hypothermia on Resting Energy Expenditure in Patients After Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the influence of therapeutic hypothermia on resting energy expenditure (REE) in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We hypothesized that hypothermia would reduce resting energy expenditure in these patients.

Read the detailed description

Therapeutic hypothermia improves neurologic outcome in patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) because of cardiac arrest. In the present study patients will be cooled to 33 degree Celsius after CPR for 24h. To avoid shivering patients will be analgosedated and medically paralysed. Analgosedation and relaxation have already shown to reduce oxygen consumption up to 20 % in critically ill patients.

In patients with brain injury, who were cooled to 33 degree Celsius using a cooling meadow REE could be significantly reduced. In critically ill patients with pyrexia cooling using a cooling meadow REE could be reduced. Oxygen consumption was reduced about 14,7% per degree Celsius.

So far no studies evaluating influence of therapeutic hypothermia on REE in patients after CPR have been published. Therefore we plan to measure REE in 25 cooled patients after CPR using indirect Calorimetry (Deltatrac II Metabolic Monitor, Datex Instrumentarium, Helsinki, Finland).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 16 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00500825, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 May 2008.
