Trial summary

Acute circulatory failure may be related to hypovolemia. Fluid loading increases stroke volume in approximatively half of challenges. Determining fluid responsiveness prevents unnecessary fluid loading. Passive leg raising (PLR) provides a transient increase of 300 ml in venous return for a short time. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the FLOTRAC/VIGILEO Third Generation Software to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Critically Ill Patient With Acute Circulatory Failure

Acute circulatory failure may be related to hypovolemia. Fluid loading increases stroke volume in approximatively half of challenges. Determining fluid responsiveness prevents unnecessary fluid loading. Passive leg raising (PLR) provides a transient increase of 300 ml in venous return for a short time. The measurement of stroke volume (SV) before and after a PLR test allows physician to detect fluid responsiveness, when stroke volume increases is higher than 15 %. Beside thermodilution, the use of non invasive device to measure stroke volume becomes largely employed. Arterial Pressure based Cardiac Output (APCO), provided by the Flotrac/Vigileo system, does not required specific materials nor repeated calibration. The third generation software is believed to be more accurate and more precise for SV measurement. The aim of this study is to test the performance of the Flotrac/Vigileo device in a situation of rapid venous return changes induced by PLR and then by fluid loading. Patients will be classify posteriorly in responders and non responders, according to the magnitude of the fluid loading-induced SV changes measured by transthoracic echocardiography.

What participants receive

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

  • Flotrac/Vigileo third generation softwareDevice

    Measurement of stroke volume according to the arterial pressure waveform

  • Transthoracic echocardiographyDevice

    Measurement of stroke volume according to the aortic time-velocity integral

What is being measured

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

  1. Stroke volume measurement between Flotrac/Vigileo device and transthoracic echocardiography

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critically Ill and Acute Circulatory Failure, run by Hôpital Européen Marseille at 2 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Major change in protocol anticipated). Results are not available in the source record.

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 measurement between Flotrac/Vigileo device and transthoracic echocardiography (time frame: 30 min). 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 8 Sep 2016.
