About this study

Official title: Detecting a Central Volume Deficit in Spontaneous Breathing Healthy Volunteers by Systolic Blood Pressure Variation

13 healthy volunteers (4 females) were tilted 45° head-up while breathing through a facemask fitted with an inspiratory and expiratory resistor. A brachial arterial catheter was used to measure blood pressure and thus systolic pressure variation and pulse contour analysis determined stroke volume and thereby cardiac output in order to detect a central volume deficit.

Read the detailed description

Thirteen healthy volunteers (4 women) at an age of 25 years (range 18-36) were recruited through www.forsøgsperson.dk.

The volunteers were placed on a tilt table and provided with a facemask with an opening of 30-33 mm. A Hook ring was fitted with an inspiratory resistor, an expiratory resistor, a combination of the two resistors, or with no resistance and each resistor provides a 7.5 cmH2O threshold resistance. Each resistor was applied for two minutes with variables obtained in the last minute. The table was then tilted 45° head-up to accumulating blood in the legs and therefore a reduction in the central blood volume. Conversely, 20° head-down tilt was used to expand the central blood volume. For each volunteer measurements with the four respiratory interventions was randomized, whereas the tilt table position was in fixed order: supine, head-up tilt, and head-down tilt.

Three-lead ECG recorded heart rate. A 20 G arterial catheter was placed in the brachial artery of the non-dominant arm and connected to a transducer for reading of blood pressure and stroke volume variation (Vigileo-Flotrac™, version 1.07, Edwards Lifesciences, Nyon, Switzerland). Also SV and CO variation and the arterial pressure curve were recorded for subsequent determination of arterial pressure variations. Additionally, a catheter was placed via a brachial vein to the superior caval vein for recording of central venous pressure and SvO2. While the subjects were breathing spontaneously, the respiratory rate was measured by capnography and peripheral oxygen saturation by fingerprobe.

Variation in the arterial pulse pressure (PPV) was 100 x ((PPmax - PPmin) / ((PPmax + PPmin)/2)), where PPmax and PPmin is the maximal and minimal difference between systolic and diastolic pressure during the respiratory cycle, respectively. By the same formula systolic pressure variation (SPV) was calculated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Respiratory resistorOther

    The volunteers are breathing through the four respiratory resistors (inspiratory, expiratory, combined in- and expiratory and no resistor) in order to increase the intrathoracic pressure svings

What is being measured

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

  1. Systolic pressure variation (SPV)

    Relative difference between systolic blood pressure during inspiration and expiration. Meassured in percent.

    Measured: Two minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Respiratory resistor in people with Hypovolemia, run by Aalborg University Hospital.

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 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 15 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Systolic pressure variation (SPV) (time frame: Two 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 NCT02549482, 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 15 Sep 2015.
