About this study

Official title: Markers of Tissue Perfusion as Predictors of Complicated Evolution in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction Submitted to Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Evaluate less employed markers of tissue hypoperfusion as venoarterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (ΔPCO2) and estimated respiratory quotient (eRQ) combined to other classically studied markers as predictive factors of complicated clinical course after cardiac surgery in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

Patients with left ventricular dysfunction are more susceptible to tissue hypoperfusion and presents more frequently both low cardiac output syndrome and systemic inflammatory response, what results in prolonged stay in intensive care unit (ICU), and higher mortality rates when compared to patients with normal ventricular function.

The early prediction of prolonged ICU stay through the detection of tissue hypoperfusion may improve the management of care and decrease morbidity of this particular group of patients. However, classic markers of tissue hypoxia as central venous saturation, base excess, lactate may not be predictors of outcome in cardiac surgery patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

The question addressed in this study is if less employed markers of tissue hypoperfusion as as venoarterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (ΔPCO2) and estimated respiratory quotient (eRQ) have predictive value of prolonged ICU stay in patients with left ventricular dysfunction submitted to coronary artery bypass surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 10 Aug 2010. 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 Brazil. 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?

Complicated clinical course after coronary artery bypass surgery (time frame: within the first 30 days after surgery). 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 NCT01178866, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 10 Aug 2010.
