About this study

The purpose of this study is to compare changes of minimally invasive arterial pulse contour cardiac output with changes of intermittent and continuous thermodilution cardiac output by pulmonary artery catheter in hemodynamic unstable patients with rapid changing vascular tone (changing dosage of vasoactive drugs or inotropics, or volume challenge). Simultaneously, global parameters of oxygen delivery and consumption will be compared with regional flow parameters and tissue oxymetry (near infrared spectrometry and laser-Doppler). While continuous thermodilution cardiac output is used for patient management, pulse contour cardiac output, intermittent thermodilution cardiac output and tissue oxymetry is only used for monitoring.

Being tested
Vigileo TM / Flotrac TM (Minimally invasive cardiac output system consisting of arterial line sensor and cardiac output monitor), Passive leg raising, Volume challenge / Change of vasoactive drugs or inotropics, Inspectra TM/O-To-See TM (Tissue oxymetry with near infrared spectroscopy and laser-Doppler)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Vigileo TM / Flotrac TM (Minimally invasive cardiac output system consisting of arterial line sensor and cardiac output monitor)Device

    Also called Vigileo TM / Flotrac TM

    Attachment of the arterial line sensor and pulse contour cardiac output monitor to the arterial line of the patient.

  • Passive leg raisingOther

    Passive leg raising for prediction of fluid responsiveness with arterial pulse contour analysis.

  • Volume challenge / Change of vasoactive drugs or inotropicsOther

    Either a volume challenge (using colloids or crystalloids) or a change in the dosage of of vasoactive drugs or inotropics, or a combination of them, as proposed by the treating physician.

  • Inspectra TM/O-To-See TM (Tissue oxymetry with near infrared spectroscopy and laser-Doppler)Device

    Also called Inspectra TM, O-To-See TM

    Tissue oxymetry continuously measured with near infrared spectrometry and laser Doppler during the whole study period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes of cardiac output measured by three different techniques during changes of vascular tone

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Prediction of fluid responsiveness with minimally invasive arterial pulse contour analysis in hemodynamic unstable patients.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Comparison of global parameters of oxygen delivery and consumption with local parameters of flow and tissue oxymetry during changes of vascular tone.

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vigileo TM / Flotrac TM (Minimally invasive cardiac output system consisting of arterial line sensor and cardiac output monitor), Passive leg raising and Volume challenge / Change of vasoactive drugs or inotropics in people with Cardiac Output, High and Cardiac Output, Low, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 6 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 28 Apr 2009. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Changes of cardiac output measured by three different techniques during changes of vascular tone (time frame: 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 28 Apr 2009.
