Trial summary

We aim to test the hypothesis that fluid therapy based on pulse pressure variation (PPV) in patients after cardiac surgery who are mechanically ventilated leads to a significant decrease in the amount of fluid given to such patients in the first 24 hours after surgery Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Before-and-after Assessment of Pulse Pressure Variation Guided Fluid Therapy in Cardiac Surgery Patients Receiving Mandatory Mechanical Ventilation

We aim to test the hypothesis that fluid therapy based on pulse pressure variation (PPV) in patients after cardiac surgery who are mechanically ventilated leads to a significant decrease in the amount of fluid given to such patients in the first 24 hours after surgery

Read the detailed description
  1. The investigators will study patients after cardiac surgery
  2. The investigators will collect data on standard care in pre-intervention population
  3. The investigators will collect demographic and clinical data
  4. The investigators will collect biochemical data in the first 24 hours after surgery
  5. The investigators will collect biochemical, physiological and clinical outcome data
  6. The investigators will compare the standard care and intervention period data

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IV fluid according to PPV in people with Cardiac Surgery, run by Austin Health at 1 site in Australia.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 11 Jul 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 Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Mean amount of fluid given in the first 24 hours after surgery (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT01681758, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Jul 2013.
