Trial summary

Focused transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a technique, which allows quick and non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring in hemodynamic instable patients. There are preliminary data supporting the hypothesis that TTE is feasible in the operating theatre. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Focused TTE - Impact on High Risk Patients´ Management in Hemodynamic Instabilities

Focused transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a technique, which allows quick and non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring in hemodynamic instable patients. There are preliminary data supporting the hypothesis that TTE is feasible in the operating theatre.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that intraoperative focused TTE has an impact on high risk patients´ management when it is added to standard extended monitoring practices in hemodynamic instabilities.

Read the detailed description

Focused TTE is en emerging matter in anesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine. The value of intraoperative TTE is unclear. There are preliminary data that it is feasible For intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) an impact on cardiac and non-cardiac surgery patients´ management has been shown.

Purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of focused TTE in patients with increased perioperative risk undergoing moderate to high risk surgery who become hemodynamic instable during anesthesia in the operating theatre.

When hemodynamic instability under anesthesia occurs focused TTE is conducted and the obtained diagnostic information are used for further patient management. Any change in management or therapy will be recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intraoperative TTE in people with Hemodynamic Instability During Anesthesia and High Risk Surgery, run by Philipps University Marburg at 1 site in Germany.

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 19 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 17 Apr 2014. 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 Germany. 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?

Change of patients´ management (time frame: at time of anesthesia / surgery). 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 17 Apr 2014.
