Trial summary

We hypothesize that the stroke volume variation measured using the commercially available LiDCO monitor provides a reasonable estimate of volume when compared to standard measures. This study will collate data that is already being collected by the bedside nurses. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Estimating Volume Using LiDCO Versus Other Measures of Volume

We hypothesize that the stroke volume variation measured using the commercially available LiDCO monitor provides a reasonable estimate of volume when compared to standard measures. This study will collate data that is already being collected by the bedside nurses.

Read the detailed description

Objective: To compare measurement of stroke volume variance with intake/output measurements, weight, BUN/Creatnine values, and central venous pressure.

Design: Non-experimental, non-randomized observational comparative study.

Setting: The sixteen bed Neurocritical Care Unit at Duke University Hospital.

Patients: 45 adult (over 18 years) subjects with intracranial pathology who require volume resuscitation. Only patients with current LiDCO monitoring will be considered eligible for inclusion in the study.

Interventions: This is an observational study. Subjects will receive standard-of-care treatment without additional intervention.

Data Analysis: All data will be collected by the principal investigator / study coordinator. Personal patient information will be removed (deidentified) from the permanent data collection records to protect patient confidentiality. Data collected will be entered into a Microsoft Excel electronic spreadsheet and will be saved on a USB Disk drive to be stored in a locked cabinet in the investigator's office. Statistical analysis using SAS v9.1, (Cary, NC) will be conducted with a level of significance set at .05 (alpha) using standardized comparative analysis techniques.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Injury and Ischemic Stroke, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 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 21 Jan 2016. 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 United States. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stroke volume variation (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00571441, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Jan 2016.
