About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Monitoring, Positive Inotropic and Vasoactive Drugs During Cardiac Surgery (EMOA Study)

Describe the proportion of patients who underwent cardiac surgery in France and benefiting from a monitoring cardiac output, describe the use of positive inotropic and vasoactive agents for cardiac surgery patients operated (type of catecholamines, their duration), describe the fluid replacement and transfusions of first 24 hours, describe the incidence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

The perioperative management in cardiac surgery patients has changed dramatically in the last fifteen years with the development of new cardiac output monitoring devices, the availability of new inotropic molecules, and a modern treatment for cardio-circulatory failure.

However, few studies report the possible changes in practice. The last French national survey was conducted in 2001. Since then, the literature is poor on the subject, and the impact of new approaches has been only marginally addressed. Recently, a German postal survey was conducted among cardiac surgery anesthesiologists, but on purely declarative elements and without patient data.

The investigators offer a type of national prospective observational study to evaluate professional practices, morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgical patients. This study must include all patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the participating centers during 7 weeks.

The main objective of this work is to assess the proportion of patients undergoing cardiac surgery receiving a cardiac output monitoring.

Secondary objectives are to describe the relationship between the use of cardiac output monitoring and the use of positive inotropic agents and vasoactive (type molecules, duration), volume expansion and transfusions the first 24 hours, and the incidence postoperative complications for patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and receiving a cardiac output monitoring.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Correlation between use of cardiac output monitoring and the incidence of norepinephrine use

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  2. Correlation between use of cardiac output monitoring and the incidence of dobutamine use

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  3. Correlation between use of cardiac output monitoring and the incidence of epinephrine use

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  4. Correlation between use of cardiac output monitoring and the length of norepinephrine infusion

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  5. Correlation between use of cardiac output monitoring and the length of dobutamine infusion

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  6. Correlation between use of cardiac output monitoring and the length of epinephrine infusion

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  7. Correlation between use of of cardiac output monitoring and the incidence of red blood cell transfusion

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  8. Correlation between use of of cardiac output monitoring and the volume of fluid expansion during first day following cardiac surgery

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

  9. Correlation between use of of cardiac output monitoring and the incidence of postoperative complications

    Measured: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of C.Surgical Procedure; Cardiac, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 0 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 30 Nov 2017. 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 France. 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?

Proportion of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and receiving a cardiac output monitoring. (time frame: Up to 28 days after surgery (length of intensive care unit stay)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Nov 2017.
