About this study

Official title: Validation of Measurement of Cardiac Output With LiDCO Rapid and TEE (Trans Esophageal Echocardiography) by Comparing With Intermittent Thermodilution Technique in Cardiac Surgical Patients

Measurement of the cardiac output is one of the important hemodynamic monitoring tools in cardiac surgery. It helps determine the type of medications needed to maintain optimal hemodynamic status in the entire perioperative period. Thermodilution method using pulmonary artery catheter is considered has the gold standard for the measurement of cardiac output. Investigators would like to compare the most popular minimally-invasive devices used to measure cardiac output using arterial waveform: LiDCO Rapid and TEE with the thermodilution method at various phases of the cardiac surgery.

Measurement of the cardiac output is one of the important hemodynamic monitoring tools in cardiac surgery. It helps determine the type of medications needed to maintain optimal hemodynamic status in the entire perioperative period. Thermodilution method using pulmonary artery catheter is considered has the gold standard for the measurement of cardiac output, however over the past 10 to 15 years it has been questioned about its safety and efficacy. There has been a surge in recent years of less invasive devices capable of measuring cardiac output by various means, including bioimpedance, transpulmonary thermodilution, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, and arterial waveform analysis.

There is a variety of devices currently available for cardiac output measurement by arterial-waveform analysis. These devices have been compared to each other, and to the pulmonary artery catheter as the gold standard. However, the companies manufacturing these devices have made software upgrades that they believe improves their performance. No studies have been performed comparing the uncalibrated arterial waveform based cardiac output measurement device,LiDCORapid since the software upgrades. In addition to baseline cardiac output measurements, Investigators intend to study the effect of volume loading (by trendelenburg position), sympathetic stimulus (incision), a vasodilated state (15 minutes after separation from CPB) and chest closure on cardiac output measured by the three different techniques.

In addition to cardiac output the investigators would like to measure stroke volume ,Systemic Vascular Resistance, stroke volume variation with LiDCO . The main purpose is to validate the accuracy of measurements by these two minimally-invasive methods in comparison with thermodilution method in various hemodynamic states.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective of the study is measured cardiac output by LiDCO Rapid is as equivalent ( within 30%) as measured by pulmonary artery catheter using intermittent thermodilution method among patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

    Measured: During intraoperative period.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary objective of the study is measured cardiac output by TEE using VTI at LVOT is as equivalent ( within 30%) as measured by pulmonary artery catheter using intermittent thermodilution method among patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.

    Measured: During intraoperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Low Cardiac Output, run by University of Iowa at 1 site in United States.

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 25 Oct 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 United States. 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?

The primary objective of the study is measured cardiac output by LiDCO Rapid is as equivalent ( within 30%) as measured by pulmonary artery catheter using intermittent thermodilution method among patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery. (time frame: During intraoperative period.). 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 NCT02511457, 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 25 Oct 2016.
