Trial summary

Diastolic function may be evaluated by different measurements on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). They include mitral inflow velocities obtained by pulsed-wave doppler (PW) : peak early diastolic velocity (E) and late diastolic velocity (A). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the E/e' Ratio of the Mitral Annulus Measured by Transesophageal Echocardiography in Predicting Fluid Responsiveness.

Diastolic function may be evaluated by different measurements on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). They include mitral inflow velocities obtained by pulsed-wave doppler (PW) : peak early diastolic velocity (E) and late diastolic velocity (A). Mitral annulus velocities, early diastolic (e') and late diastolic (a') are obtained by tissue doppler imaging (TDI). The ratio E/e' reflects left ventricular filling pressure and, as such, might be a predictor of fluid responsiveness.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of the mitral valve E/e' ratio for fluid responsiveness among patients undergoing coronary bypass graft surgery. Fluid responsiveness being defined as an increase in stroke volume of ≥ 15%.

After induction of anesthesia, patients will have their diastolic function evaluated by means of E/e' and other measures. They will then be administered an intravenous bolus of 500 mL of Lactate Ringer® along with passive leg raising (PLR). Stroke volume and fluid responsiveness will be assessed by the thermodilution method (Swan-Ganz catheter) and the FloTrac® device. Fluid responders will be compared to non-responders to evaluate the relationship between E/e' ratio and fluid responsiveness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mitral valve E/e' ratio for prediction of fluid responsiveness

    TEE evaluation of mitral inflow velocities and mitral annulus velocities measured right before fluid administration as a predictor of fluid responsiveness defined as an increase of 15% or more of the stroke volume

    Measured: TEE images taken within the 15 minutes before fluid administration and responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid administration and leg raising

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) a-wave to v-wave ratio of the for prediction of fluid responsiveness

    a-wave on v-wave ratio of the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) curve for prediction of fluid responsiveness defined as an increase of 15% or more of the stroke volume

    Measured: Waveform measured within the 15 minutes preceding fluid administration and responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid administration and leg raising

  2. Pulse pressure variation (PPV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness

    Pulse pressure variation (PPV) measured on arterial pressure curve for prediction of fluid responsiveness defined as an increase of 15% or more of the stroke volume

    Measured: PPV measured within the 15 minutes preceding fluid administration and responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid administration and leg raising

  3. Stroke volume variation (SVV) for prediction of fluid responsiveness

    Stroke volume variation (SVV) directly measured by FloTrac/Vigileo® with its intrinsic algorithm for prediction of fluid responsiveness defined as an increase of 15% or more of the stroke volume

    Measured: SVV measured within the 15 minutes preceding fluid administration and responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid administration and leg raising

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Volume expansion in people with Left Ventricular Function Diastolic Dysfunction and Fluid Responsiveness, run by Montreal Heart Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 10 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 7 Sep 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 Canada. 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?

Mitral valve E/e' ratio for prediction of fluid responsiveness (time frame: TEE images taken within the 15 minutes before fluid administration and responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid administration and leg raising). 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 NCT02714244, 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 7 Sep 2017.
