About this study

Official title: Fluid Responsiveness in Septic Shock Evaluated by Caval Ultrasound Doppler Examination - "FRIEND Study"

The study aims at clarification of venous collapsibility measures with real venous flow measurements during dynamic maneuver testing fluid responsiveness in septic shock patients.

Read the detailed description

Sedated and mechanically ventilated patients in septic shock will be enrolled in the study. A fine catheter with ultrasound doppler probe will be introduced into the central venous catheter already in place in superior vena cava. Doppler signal will be evaluated by console prototype (NILUS Medical) and continuous analysis of blood flow velocity respiratory variation will be performed. These values will be compared to standard hemodynamic monitoring parameters (central venous and arterial pressures) and to parameters acquired by transoesophageal (TOE) and transthoracic echocardiography.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • passive leg raisingProcedure or surgery

    passive leg raising under echocardiographic monitoring with intravascular doppler in place

What is being measured

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

  1. Fluid responsiveness

    Evaluation of fluid responsiveness, defined as 15% increase of cardiac output after reversible fluid challenge (using PLR - passive leg raise maneuver), by ultrasound doppler evaluation of superior vena caval blood flow respiratory variation.

    Measured: through the study, data collection during 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change of flow

    Evaluation of fluid responsiveness by measuring a change of blood flow velocity after PLR maneuver.

    Measured: through the study, data collection during 1 year

  2. Respiratory variation of flow velocity

    Evaluation of fluid responsiveness by measuring respiratory variation of blood flow velocity in left ventricular outflow tract after PLR maneuver

    Measured: through the study, data collection during 1 year

  3. Respiratory collapsibility

    Evaluation of fluid responsiveness by measuring respiratory collapsibility of inferior vena cava after PLR maneuver.

    Measured: through the study, data collection during 1 year

  4. Respiratory collapsibility

    Evaluation of fluid responsiveness by measuring respiratory collapsibility of superior vena cava after PLR maneuver

    Measured: through the study, data collection during 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Septic Shock and Vein Collapsibility, run by Charles University, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2019. 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 Czechia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fluid responsiveness (time frame: through the study, data collection during 1 year). 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 2 Aug 2019.
