  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Critical ill patients with controlled mechanical ventilation and acute circulatory failure.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with controlled mechanical ventilation, equipped with an indwelling radial artery catheter and for whom the decision to give fluids will be taken because the presence of one or more clinical signs of acute circulatory failure:
  • systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg (or a decrease >50 mmHg in previously hypertensive patients)
  • the need of vasopressor drugs

  • the presence of skin mottling

Who cannot join

  • Contraindication for the volume administration: evidence of fluid overload and/or of hydrostatic pulmonary edema
  • Patients with instable cardiac rhythm

About this study

Official title: Brachial Artery Peak Velocity Variation to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

The investigators designed this study to determine the predictive value for predicting fluid responsiveness of noninvasive evaluation of respiratory variation of peak velocity in brachial artery, in mechanically ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure.

Read the detailed description

Predicting the hemodynamic response to fluid administration (or fluid responsiveness) in critical ill patients is still a matter of concern, since fluid overload could worse the clinical situation of these patients. Parameters of fluid responsiveness usually require an invasive monitoring (like arterial pulse pressure variation).

We hypothesize that noninvasive evaluation of respiratory variation of peak velocity in brachial artery using Doppler ultrasound could provide a feasible estimation on fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients with acute circulatory failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predictive value of respiratory variation in brachial artery peak velocity before volume expansion assessed by ROC curve. We defined responser as patients that increased stroke volume index equal or more than 15% after fluid administration.

    Measured: immediately after volume expansion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluate the predictive value of pulse pressure variation for predicting hemodynamic response to fluid administration, comparing with the predictive value of respiratory variation of brachial artery peak velocity.

    Measured: immediately after fluid administration

  2. Evaluate the predictive value of stroke volume variation for predicting hemodynamic response to fluid administration, comparing with the predictive value of respiratory variation of brachial artery peak velocity.

    Measured: immediately after volume expansion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypotension and Shock, run by Hospital del SAS de Jerez at 1 site in Spain.

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 7 inclusion and 2 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 29 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 Spain. 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?

Predictive value of respiratory variation in brachial artery peak velocity before volume expansion assessed by ROC curve. We defined responser as patients that increased stroke volume index equal or more than 15% after fluid administration. (time frame: immediately after volume expansion). 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 NCT00890071, 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 29 Apr 2009.
