Trial summary

Perioperative hemodynamic optimization requires monitoring adapted to the risks of the surgery and the patient. We currently use a local hemodynamic protocol based on the data of the literature. According to this protocol, specific patients may require cardiac index and central venous oxygen saturation monitoring. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Measurement of Cardiac Index by Transpulmonary Thermodilution Using an Implanted Central Venous Access Port: a Prospective Study in Patients Scheduled for Oncologic High-risk Surgery

Perioperative hemodynamic optimization requires monitoring adapted to the risks of the surgery and the patient. We currently use a local hemodynamic protocol based on the data of the literature. According to this protocol, specific patients may require cardiac index and central venous oxygen saturation monitoring. We chose to monitor the cardiac index (CI) with the transpulmonary thermodilution technique (TPTD) (PiCCO, Pulsion Medical System, Munich, Germany). The technique is based on the injection of a cooled bolus of saline into a central vein with a central venous catheter (CVC). The variation of temperature is measured with an arterial femoral catheter and allows the assessment of the cardiac output according to Stewart-Hamilton's theory. Many studies showed the reliability of this technique.

In our institute, most of the patients are fitted with a port for chemotherapy or parenteral nutrition. When PiCCO monitoring is necessary, a central venous catheter is inserted on the opposite side of the permanent implantable venous port. Indeed, insertion of the CVC can be more difficult because of the port. It may be interesting to use the port for TPTD in order to avoid the insertion of a new CVC. This would be possible only if the measurement of CI by the port was as reliable as the classical measurement with a CVC.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study was to assess whether measurement of the CI by TPTD was possible and reliable via the port. We conducted a prospective study comparing the measurement of the CI by TPTD before and after fluid challenge via the port versus the CVC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimation of the reliability of the measurement of the variations of the CI during fluid challenge

    Measurements will be realized as described:

    • hourly: TPTD will be realized to calibrate the measurement of CI
    • Before and after fluid challenge (250 ml of colloid when hemodynamic indicators will be in favour of hypovolemia (pulse pressure variation (PPV) > 15% and variation of CI > 10%)

    Measured: measurement of the CI hourly, up to 3 hours by TPTD before and after fluid challenge via the port versus the CVC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oncologic High-risk Surgery, run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris at 1 site in France.

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 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 14 Feb 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 France. 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?

Estimation of the reliability of the measurement of the variations of the CI during fluid challenge (time frame: measurement of the CI hourly, up to 3 hours by TPTD before and after fluid challenge via the port versus the CVC.). 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 NCT02063009, 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 14 Feb 2014.
