About this study

Official title: Estimation of Cardiac Output by Nine Different Pulse Contour Algorithms Compared With Transpulmonary Thermodilution

The aim of the present study is to compare accuracy and precision of Cardiac Output (CO) by nine different pulse contour algorithms with transpulmonary thermodilution before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Read the detailed description

After induction of anesthesia, a central venous catheter and a transpulmonary thermodilution catheter (Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany) are introduced in the right internal jugular vein and in the femoral artery, respectively. The thermodilution catheter is connected to a PiCCO2 monitor (Software version 1.3.0.8). Thereafter, placement of an esophageal doppler probe is performed and the probe is connected to a unique Monitoring System (Deltex Medical, Chichester, UK) with nine different pulse contour algorithms. Cardiac Output by esophageal doppler is used to calibrate the nine different pulse contour algorithms.

After induction of anesthesia and establishment of all monitoring devices, a passive leg raising maneouvre (PLR) is performed and hemodynamic variables including CO by transpulmonary thermodilution (COTPTD) and CO by nine different pulse contour algorithms (COX1-9) are recorded before, during and after PLR. Subsequently, measurements of COTPTD and COX1-9 are carried out every 10 minutes until the beginning of CPB. Fifteen minutes after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass calibration of nine different pulse contour algorithms by esophageal doppler are performed again and measurements of CITPTD and CIPFX are restarted up to the end of the surgical Intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac output measurement in people with Cardiac Output, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 11 Feb 2016. 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?

Accuracy of cardiac output in l/min by nine different pulse contour algorithms compared with transpulmonary thermodilution (time frame: After induction of anesthesia until the end of surgery). 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 NCT02438228, which also lists 7 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 11 Feb 2016.
