Trial summary

Recent research has focused on the investigation of sublingual microcirculatory alterations in different patient categories, like cardiac surgery and sepsis. The microcirculation plays a pivotal role in tissue oxygenation and can be non invasively visualized by sidestream dark field (SDF) imaging. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Observation of the Prevalence of Sublingual Microcirculatory Alterations With SDF Imaging in Intensive Care Patients

Recent research has focused on the investigation of sublingual microcirculatory alterations in different patient categories, like cardiac surgery and sepsis. The microcirculation plays a pivotal role in tissue oxygenation and can be non invasively visualized by sidestream dark field (SDF) imaging.

The objective is to carry out a international multi center study to investigate the prevalence of microcirculatory alterations in intensive care patients. Up to the present time, a comprehensive prevalence study like this has not been carried out.

Read the detailed description

Visualization of the sublingual microcirculation at a fixed time point with SDF- or OPS-imaging in all adult patients of participating intensive care units, regardless of their underlying disease. Concurrently, data on both patient characteristics (e.g. severity of illness, treatment) and ICU characteristics will be obtained.

What is being measured

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

  1. microcirculatory alterations related to underlying illness, expressed as - amongst others- microvascular flow index (MFI), proportion of perfused vessels (PPV).

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. microcirculatory alterations related to: hospital/intensive care length of stay mortality severity of illness

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critical Illness, run by Frisius Medisch Centrum at 4 sites in Netherlands.

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 2 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 1 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Netherlands. 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?

microcirculatory alterations related to underlying illness, expressed as - amongst others- microvascular flow index (MFI), proportion of perfused vessels (PPV). (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT01179243, which also lists 2 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 1 Nov 2012.
