About this study

Official title: Perioperative Heart Rate Variability Analysis in Realtime: Detection of Cardiovascular and Autonomic Dysfunction

This study will record patient electrocardiograms - as well as various other body signals (e.g., blood pressure, pulse wave, peripheral hemoglobin oxygen saturation) - as monitored routinely both during and immediately subsequent to surgical operations performed under general anesthesia. Through retrospective analysis of patients' heart rate variability (HRV), in concert with the other abovementioned parameters, the investigators seek to forward the development of novel mathematical models and tools for on-line detection of cardiovascular and autonomic dysfunction in the perioperative setting.

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart rate variability

    The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) has been used to assess autonomic nervous system responses to therapeutic interventions, and to quantify risk in a wide variety of both cardiac and non-cardiac disorders when combined with other diagnostic tests - though HRV analysis has seen its greatest cardiologic use in post-myocardial infarction risk stratification and in assessing risk for arrhythmic events. HRV analysis has become widespread and relatively simple to perform - however, until now, these analyses have not been performed in detail in the perioperative period.

    Measured: During and immediately subsequent to surgery performed under general anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Individuality and Perioperative/Postoperative Complications, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 20 Aug 2018. 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 Austria. 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?

Heart rate variability (time frame: During and immediately subsequent to surgery performed under general anesthesia). 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 20 Aug 2018.
