Trial summary

The investigators hypothesize that changes in blood circulation can be reflected by exhaled CO2 provided CO2-production in the tissues and ventilation from the lungs are stable. The investigators want to explore changes in cardiac output (the amount of blood being pumped out of the heart each minute) in patients using… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Non-invasive Volume Evaluation With Exhaled Carbon Dioxide and Pulse Contour Analysis (Nexfin)

The investigators hypothesize that changes in blood circulation can be reflected by exhaled CO2 provided CO2-production in the tissues and ventilation from the lungs are stable. The investigators want to explore changes in cardiac output (the amount of blood being pumped out of the heart each minute) in patients using different devices: an esophagus ultrasound device measuring cardiac output, a finger cuff measuring blood pressure and cardiac output, and exhaled carbondioxide in the patients' breath measured by the ventilator.

The investigators investigate patients after bypass surgery or heart valve replacement, and induce changes in cardiac output with passive leg raise or ventricular pacing.

Read the detailed description

Measurements with the finger cuff (pulse contour analyses) were aborted due to technical difficulties.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ventricular pacing and passive leg raise in people with Changes in Cardiac Output, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 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 2018. 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 Norway. 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?

Changes in cardiac output (time frame: 5 Minutes). 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 NCT02070861, 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 17 Apr 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
