About this study

Official title: Early Change of Central Venous Pressure With Volume Challenge as Predictor of Fluid Responsiveness in Patients With Hemodynamic Instability

We conducted this study to assess the value of early change in central venous pressure (CVP) in predicting fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients.

Read the detailed description

In patients with shock a primary goal of treatment is to restore and maintain organ perfusion, for which an adequate cardiac preload is required. Apart from the situations in which hypovolemia is evident and a favourable response to fluid administration will be seen, clinical and biological parameters often fail to predict hypovolemia. Inappropriate use of volume expansion carries out the risk of generating volume overload and pulmonary oedema. Consequently, reliable predictors of fluid responsiveness are needed especially in the early phase of cardiocirculatory deterioration. In the clinical setting, different static and dynamic indices have been shown to be useful indicators of cardiac preload. Central venous pressure (CVP) is widely used to measure right ventricular preload in patients requiring invasive hemodynamic monitoring. However, the use of the CVP is much criticized because CVP poorly predicts cardiac preload and volume status. However several decades ago, Weil and Henning proposed the fluid challenge technique, based on the 2-5 rule using CVP. There is a method for guiding volume repletion based on measurements of the patient's response to fluid load. This method has not been validated in the prediction of fluid responsiveness. We therefore conducted a prospective study that in all patients we measured CVP change and stroke volume variation (SVV) after administration of fluids. Patients were classified as fluid responders when their SVV is >10% after volume expansion and non-responders if SVV is ≤10%.

What participants receive

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

  • volume expansion using modified gelatinOther

    Also called fluid challenge

    Volume expansion using modified gelatin was determined according to a procedure formulated by modifying guidelines produced by Weil and Henning. The maximum volume infusion during the study test was fixed at 400 ml.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing volume expansion using modified gelatin in people with Acute Circulatory Failure, run by University of Monastir at 2 sites in Tunisia.

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 1 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 5 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Tunisia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

fluid challange responsiveness (time frame: within 20 minutes of fluid challenge). 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 5 May 2016.
