About this study

Official title: Lactate Levels and Venous Oxygen Saturation in Children Admitted to a Dutch PICU

Observational multicentre cohort study. Children admitted to a Dutch PICU are studied for lactate levels and ScvO2. Children instrumented with arterial and central venous catheters are included within the first 12 hours after admittance.

Read the detailed description

Rationale: Hemodynamic therapy in children with circulatory insufficiency requires the use of hemodynamic monitoring parameters including parameters that reflect tissue/organ oxygenation and oxygen utilization. Two parameters are readily available at the bedside that may reflect this: arterial lactate level and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2). To date is it unknown if these parameters are useful in guiding treatment of critically ill children. Also it is unknown how often lactate and ScvO2 are abnormal in children admitted to a Dutch PICU or if they are related to each.

Objective: The objective of this study is to find the incidence of a raised lactate level and or a decreased ScvO2, to study their mutual relation and to study the relation between lactate, ScvO2 and outcome parameters in children admitted to a Dutch PICU.

Study design: Observational cohort study

Study population: children admitted to a PICU <= 16 years

Intervention (if applicable): No intervention

Main study parameters/endpoints: Arterial lactate level, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), arterial blood gas analysis and general hemodynamic variables in the first 24 hours after admission. Parameters for organ dysfunction, severity of illness and outcome parameters like length of PICU stay.

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: This is a strict observational design. No blood samples are taken for the purpose of this study. No intravascular catheters are inserted for the purpose of this study. No treatment strategy is associated with this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. What is the incidence of a decreased ScvO2 and or a raised lactate level in children admitted to Dutch PICU's in the first 24 hours after admission to the PICU

    What is the incidence of a decreased ScvO2 and or a raised lactate level in children admitted to Dutch PICU's in the first 24 hours after admission to the PICU

    Measured: first 24 hours after admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shock, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 6 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 2 Oct 2017. 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 Netherlands. 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: Researcher stopped activity at 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?

What is the incidence of a decreased ScvO2 and or a raised lactate level in children admitted to Dutch PICU's in the first 24 hours after admission to the PICU (time frame: first 24 hours after admission). 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 2 Oct 2017.
