  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will consist of 30 patients admitted to the Massachusetts General Hospital Coronary Care Unit (CCU) for PA catheter-directed therapy for advanced heart failure. Only patients for whom the attending cardiologist has already decided upon PA-catheter insertion will be recruited for the study. Potential subjects will be identified by the CCU attending cardiologist, and a study nurse will review each patient for the exclusion criteria as above. Final decisions on patient eligibility will be made by Dr. Wang.

The following inclusion criteria will be utilized:

  1. Age>21
  2. PA-catheter insertion for therapy of congestive heart failure decided upon by the attending cardiologist

The following will be considered as exclusion criteria for this study

  1. Known or suspected septic shock or bacteremia
  2. Active bleeding or HCT<24% at baseline
  3. Arterial oxygen saturation <90% at baseline despite supplemental oxygen therapy.
  4. Previous difficulty with venipuncture of upper extremity veins or the presence of a surgical arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis
  5. Insertion of the PA catheter through the femoral vein
  6. Subjects unwilling or unable to provide written consent

About this study

Official title: Use of Peripheral Venous Oxygen Saturation and Biomarkers to Estimate Cardiac Output and Filling Pressures in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure

The relationship between peripheral venous saturation and central hemodynamics (including right and left heart filling pressures and cardiac output), mixed venous oxygen saturation, and contemporary biomarkers of heart failure is not clear. We aim to determine the relationship between mixed venous, central venous, and peripheral venous oxygen saturation in patients with advanced (class III or IV) heart failure. We will determine the relationship between cardiac output measured via thermodilution and the Fick equation calculated using concurrent oxygen saturations from the distal PA, central vein, and peripheral vein. We also aim to examine the relationship of selected cardiac biomarkers with cardiac filling pressures and cardiac output over time in patients with decompensated heart failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the relationship between mixed venous, central venous, and peripheral venous oxygen saturation in patients with advanced (class III or IV) heart failure.

    Measured: Day 0-5 of 'tailored' heart failure therapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To examine the relationship of selected cardiac biomarkers with cardiac filling pressures and cardiac output over time in patients with decompensated heart failure.

    Measured: Days 0-5 of 'tailored' heart failure therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congestive Heart Failure, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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?

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 20 Jul 2011. 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?

To determine the relationship between mixed venous, central venous, and peripheral venous oxygen saturation in patients with advanced (class III or IV) heart failure. (time frame: Day 0-5 of 'tailored' heart failure therapy). 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 NCT00595738, 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 20 Jul 2011.
