About this study

Official title: Correlation of Physical Exam Versus Non-invasive Near-infrared Spectroscopy Versus Invasive Hemodynamic Assessment of Central Venous Pressure

The purpose of this study is to establish the accuracy of a non-invasive device that uses near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to estimate central venous pressure (CVP) comparing it to physical exam and invasive hemodynamic measurement via right heart catheterization (RHC).

Read the detailed description

Estimation of volume status is crucial when making treatment decisions for heart failure patients. Volume status is often assessed clinically by estimating the CVP, which is an estimate of right atrial filling pressure, by assessing the level of jugular venous distention. This method is quick and non-invasive but can be prone erroneous measurement due to human error and limitations secondary to body habitus and anatomical variation.

RHC is a procedure used for invasive hemodynamic measurement commonly used in heart failure patients. CVP can be measured directly via RHC using a pulmonary artery catheter. It is considered the gold standard for measuring intra-cardiac filling pressures and calculation of cardiac output and pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance. The obvious downside of RHC is that is invasive, time consuming, and has many potential serious risks including vascular complication, pneumothorax, infection, arrhythmia, valvular damage, etc.

A non-invasive, quick, and accurate way to estimate central venous pressure and oximetry could benefit patient care. NIRS is an optical imaging technology that has been proposed to estimate central venous pressure non-invasively. Our intent is to determine the accuracy of NIRS in assessment of CVP using the Mespere Venus device.

What participants receive

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

  • Mespere Venus SystemDevice

    Also called Non-invasive central venous pressure system

    For this non-invasive system, an adhesive patch (connected to the Mespere Venus system) is placed on the neck of the subject, to determine if the CVP values displayed by the device correlates with the CVP values obtained by RHC and physical exam

  • Right heart catheterization (RHC)Procedure or surgery

    Invasive procedure to assess CVP. Standard of care.

  • Physical examination of jugular veinProcedure or surgery

    Also called Jugular venous pressure (JVP)

    Physicians assess CVP using the subject's jugular vein.

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 the invasive method (via RHC) and/or the CVP from the physical exam

    Measured: 0-3 hours

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 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 3 inclusion and 10 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 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 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 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?

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.
