About this study

Official title: Study on Fluid Optimization in Liver Surgery Trough Vigileo/FloTac System Associated to Traditional Monitoring.

The purpose of this study is to analyze hemodynamic changes, in patients undergoing liver resection, through the Vigileo/FloTrac system.

Read the detailed description

To reduce bleeding, hepatectomies are performed with low central pressure (CVP) combined with extrahepatic control flow.

This management can lead hemodynamic instability and reduction in oxygen delivery so an advanced monitoring should be used.

This study analyzes hemodynamic changes, in patients undergoing liver resection, through the Vigileo/FloTrac system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Stroke volume variation

    Evaluation of changes in Stroke Volume Variation from Vigileo/FloTrac system during liver resection.

    Measured: at time of surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Stroke volume variation

    Evaluation of changes in Stroke Volume Variation at the end of liver resection, during fluid optimization.

    Measured: at the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer of Liver, run by Catholic University of the Sacred Heart at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2012. 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 Italy. 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?

Stroke volume variation (time frame: at time of surgery). 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 NCT01627808, which also lists 8 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 26 Jun 2012.
