Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

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

Who may be able to join

  • Patients are equipped with PiCCO monitoring independently to the study.
  • One criteria of decreased usefulness of the parameters of preload/volume responsiveness available using the PiCCO device:
  • Femoral access of the central venous catheter precluding application of the normal ranges of global enddiastolic volume index and central venous pressure.
  • Absence of sinus rhythm and/or controlled ventilation precluding the use of stroke volume variation.
  • Evidence of increased intraabdominal pressure which is known to further reduce the usefulness of central venous pressure.
  • Contradictory suggestions by stroke volume variation and global enddiastolic volume index.
  • Intolerance of passive leg raising.
  • Absence of therapeutic alternatives to volume resuscitation.

Who cannot join

  • Extravascular volume-over plus: global enddiastolic volume index > 1000ml/sqm
  • Pulmonary edema: extravascular lungwater index > 20ml/kg
  • Cardiogenic shock without volume deficiency (cardiac index <2L/min; global enddiastolic volume index > 850ml/sqm)

What participants receive

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

  • PiCCO-parameter-guided volume challengeDevice

    Infusion of 7ml/kg crystalloid over 30 minutes, Performing transpulmonary thermodilutions after 0min, 15min and 30min. Recording of pulse contour cardiac index, heart rate and mean arterial pressure after 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30min. Catecholamines are kept stable over the 30min period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prediction of volume responsiveness defined as an increase in Cardiac Index of ≥ 15% after transpulmonary thermodilution measurement of 15 minutes

    Measured: 15 minutes after start of infusion

  2. Prediction of volume responsiveness defined as an increase in Cardiac Index of ≥ 15% after transpulmonary thermodilution measurement of 30 minutes

    Measured: 30 minutes after start of infusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Predictive capabilities of Cardiac Index (measured by pulse contour)

    Measured: within 30 minutes after start of infusion

  2. Comparison of global enddiastolic volume index to baseline values

    Measured: 30 minutes after start of infusion

  3. Comparison of central venous pressure levels to baseline values

    Measured: 30 minutes after start of infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PiCCO-parameter-guided volume challenge in people with Prediction of Volume Responsiveness, run by Technical University of Munich at 1 site in Germany.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 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 Germany. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prediction of volume responsiveness defined as an increase in Cardiac Index of ≥ 15% after transpulmonary thermodilution measurement of 15 minutes (time frame: 15 minutes after start of infusion). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Oct 2010.
