Trial summary

Cardiac output monitoring is mandatory in most surgical and critical care patients. Many techniques to assess cardiac output are invasive and/or have many limitations, contraindications and drawbacks. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Accuracy and Precision of Non-invasive Effective Pulmonary Perfusion Measurement Using Volumetric Capnography

Cardiac output monitoring is mandatory in most surgical and critical care patients. Many techniques to assess cardiac output are invasive and/or have many limitations, contraindications and drawbacks. The measurement of cardiac output throughout the CO2 signal is an interesting option due to the simplicity and non-invasive nature of its calculation.

The present study was designed to compare the cardiac output measurement using a capnodynamic formula versus the reference thermodilution method.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective and observational study designed to test the accuracy and precision of the non-invasive capnodynamic cardiac output measurement in mechanically ventilated patients. We will study 30 patients undergoing cardiovascular by pass in which an invasive trans-thoracic thermodilution method (PICCOScience) is indicated - the reference method.

A pair of thermodilutions and capnodynamic cardiac output measurement will be performed along the surgery. Analysis of precision will be done at the begining of the protocol and during stable hemodynamic conditions. Accuracy will then assessed using the Bland-Altmann plot and regression analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Hospital Privado de Comunidad de Mar del Plata at 1 site in Argentina.

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 4 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 2 Aug 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 Argentina. 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?

Accuracy and precision of capnodynamic to measure cardiac output (time frame: 8 months). 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 NCT02382120, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Aug 2018.
