About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Clinical Assessment of Peripheral Perfusion by Capillary Refill Time and Peripheral Perfusion Index

The purpose of this study is to evaluate PPI as a surrogate for clinical signs of peripheral perfusion in patients in septic shock and after cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to validate PPI as a continuous, objective measurement of peripheral perfusion indicated by clinical sings of tissue perfusion in patients with septic shock. Furthermore, PPI shall be compared to the perfusion of solid organs evaluated by ultrasound of liver, kidney and gut. In a group of healthy volunteers the investigators will determine normal values in ambient temperature and after cooling of an extremity. Another group of patients after cardiac surgery, where usually a poor tissue perfusion without metabolic failure is present will serve as another "control" population in their post-surgery stabilization period. The values from healthy volunteers and cardiac surgery patients will be compared to those of patients in septic shock.

What is being measured

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

  1. peripheral perfusion index

    PPI in healthy controls, septic shock patients and patients rewarming after cardiac surgery

    Measured: measurement at ICU admission and hourly till extubation or normalization of lactate, during the hospitalization without follow-up (maximal up to 72h)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. capillary refill time

    CRT in healthy controls, septic shock patients and patients rewarming after cardiac surgery

    Measured: measurement at ICU admission and hourly till extubation or normalization of lactate, during the hospitalization without follow-up (maximal up to 72h)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Perfusion, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 17 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 22 Jun 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 Switzerland. 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?

peripheral perfusion index (time frame: measurement at ICU admission and hourly till extubation or normalization of lactate, during the hospitalization without follow-up (maximal up to 72h)). 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 22 Jun 2017.
