About this study

Official title: A Continuous, Noninvasive Method for Estimating and Predicting Maternal and Fetal Hemodynamic Changes During Regional Anesthesia

Machine learning techniques and algorithms originally developed for use in the field of robotics can be applied to continuous, noninvasive physiological waveform data to discover hidden, hemodynamic relationships. Newly developed algorithms can, in real-time: 1) predict cardiovascular collapse well ahead of any clinically significant changes in standard vital signs, 2) monitor and estimate fluid resuscitation needs, 3) estimate acute blood loss volume, and 4) estimate intracranial pressure. The investigators hypothesize that these same methods can be used to predict functional hypovolemia during regional anesthesia for labor or fetal intervention.

Read the detailed description

Specific aims:

  1. Collect noninvasive physiological waveform data from patients undergoing regional anesthesia for labor or fetal intervention at the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado.
  2. Combine the physiological data from patient monitors with clinical and demographic data, including maternal problem list, medications, volume infused, use of vasopressors, arterial and venous pressures, fetal heart rate, fetal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry, maternal uterine artery Doppler waveform, fetal and neonatal outcomes etc. for use in developing mathematical model for early detection of maternal functional hypovolemia.
  3. Develop robust, real-time, computational models for:
  • estimating maternal volume status prior to administration of epidural anesthesia
  • estimating effective intravascular volume loss during maternal regional anesthesia
  • predicting an optimal, individual specific requirement for IV resuscitation and/or need for vasopressor agents while providing adequate analgesia using regional techniques and optimizing the fetal outcomes
  • identifying mothers susceptible to epidural induced hypotension

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy and Anesthesia, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 2 sites 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2023. 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 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?

effective intravascular volume loss during maternal regional anesthesia (time frame: during epidural, 1-4 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 28 Sep 2023.
