Trial summary

This protocol will test a new non-invasive device, the T-line, in continuously determining heart rate and blood pressure in operative and critically ill patients. The accuracy of the device will be compared to the standard radial artery catheter, as well as to the non-invasive blood pressure cuff. Read more about this study

About this study

This protocol will test a new non-invasive device, the T-line, in continuously determining heart rate and blood pressure in operative and critically ill patients. The accuracy of the device will be compared to the standard radial artery catheter, as well as to the non-invasive blood pressure cuff. The T-line will also be compared to the right heart catheter determining cardiac output in at least 20 patients.

Hypothesis: the T-line device will determine blood pressure and heart rate as accurately as a standard radial arterial catheter and a blood pressure cuff in perioperative patients.

What participants receive

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

  • T-line hemodynamic monitoring device (placement and use)Device

    Also called T-line, Tensymeter, Tensys Medical, Inc., Hemodynamic monitoring

    The T-line device will be placed over the contralateral (from the radial artery catheter) radial artery at the distal wrist. To attach the device, a single-use sterile sensor is placed over the radial artery and the device then gently clamped around the wrist to incorporate the sensor. After a ten-minute stabilization period, data will be recorded every ten minutes during the first two hours of surgery, or until the patient is placed on cardiopulmonary bypass. The T-line device will then be removed. This procedure will be repeated, for a second two-hour period, in the ICU postoperatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Agreement between radial catheter, blood pressure cuff, and T-line in determining heart rate and blood pressure

    Measured: Assessed 24 times over four hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Agreement between the T-line and right heart catheter in determining cardiac output

    Measured: Assessed every 30 minutes over four hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Critically Ill, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 28 Aug 2019. 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 United States. 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: PI left institution). 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?

Agreement between radial catheter, blood pressure cuff, and T-line in determining heart rate and blood pressure (time frame: Assessed 24 times over four 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 28 Aug 2019.
