Trial summary

Fluid therapy is an important part of the management of patients with hemodynamic instability in the intensive care unit. By increasing cardiac preload, it aims at elevating cardiac output (CO) and thus restoring hemodynamic conditions in patients who are preload responsive. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Validity of a New Index Provided by the PiCCO2 Device for Predicting Fluid Responsiveness in Critically Ill Patients

Fluid therapy is an important part of the management of patients with hemodynamic instability in the intensive care unit. By increasing cardiac preload, it aims at elevating cardiac output (CO) and thus restoring hemodynamic conditions in patients who are preload responsive. By contrast, volume administration can be deleterious in terms of pulmonary edema formation or other manifestations or fluid overload, especially in patients who are not preload responsive. Functional dynamic parameters that use heart-lung interactions, such as pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) are considered accurate predictors of preload responsiveness in patients receiving fully controlled mechanical ventilation.

However, in cases of spontaneous breathing activity where heart-lung interaction indices fail to predict fluid responsiveness, one needs parameters able to reliably predict the hemodynamic response of fluid administration.

A new index that could indicate fluid responsiveness, so-called the fluid responsiveness index (FRI), has been elaborated. The advantage is that it could be used in patients who are not in control mechanical ventilation as well as in patients who are fully adapted to mechanical ventilation.

The FRI is based upon the analysis of continuous arterial and continuous central venous pressure. The FRI is determined by the relation of cardiac and respiratory activity; both are evaluated by means of power spectrum analysis of the pressures recorded.

The aim of this study is to test the value of the FRI to predict the hemodynamic response to fluid infusion in patients with hemodynamic instability not receiving fully controlled mechanical ventilation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shock and Critically Ill, run by Bicetre Hospital at 5 sites in 4 countries.

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 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Germany, France, Israel, 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jean-Louis Teboul, MD, PhD (+33145213547, jean-louis.teboul@bct.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 6 May 2009.
