About this study

Official title: Clinical Validation of a Non-Invasive Central Venous Pressure Device in Comparison With Physical Examination in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Healthy Volunteers

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a correlation exists between the Mespere Non-Invasive Central Venous Pressure (NICVP) device for measuring central venous pressure (CVP), and assessment of CVP via physical examination.

Read the detailed description

The estimation of central venous pressure (CVP) is part of routine clinical examination. Central venous pressure is the indication of the pressure in the right atrium of the heart and it can be measured by determining the height of the blood column in the internal or external jugular vein. Clinical use of CVP has a wide range of applications including diagnosis of heart failure, pleural effusion, hypervolemia, hypovolemia, and sepsis. The standard clinical method for attaining CVP non-invasively is the physical examination of jugular venous pulse (JVP). The JVP provides a useful estimate of the CVP.

It is often difficult to identify the internal jugular vein to determine the JVP. The internal jugular vein is deep and adjacent to the carotid artery and pulsations derived from the artery may obscure the subtle venous pulsations. Manoeuvres to differentiate carotid pulsation and jugular pulsation are helpful in identifying the internal jugular vein, however determining the JVP based on the internal jugular vein examination is difficult.

Examination of the external jugular vein to determine JVP is an appealing alternative. The external jugular vein is easier to visualize and studies have demonstrated that this is a reliable method that correlates highly with catheter measured CVP.

What participants receive

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

  • Non-Invasive Central Venous Pressure monitorDevice

    Also called NICVP monitor

    An adhesive patch (connected to the Mespere NICVP monitor) is placed on the neck of the subject, to determine if the CVP values displayed by the device correlates with CVP values obtained by physical examination (standard clinical practice)

  • Physical examination of jugular veinProcedure or surgery

    Physicians assess CVP using the jugular vein of the subject

What is being measured

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

  1. Central Venous Pressure (CVP)

    To determine if the CVP from the non-invasive monitor correlates with the CVP from physical examination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Central Venous Pressure, run by Mespere Lifesciences Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2013. 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 Canada. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Central Venous Pressure (CVP) (time frame: 0-3 hours). 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 Feb 2013.
