About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Photoplethysmography to Detect Changes in Vascular Tone: a Doppler Study

Changes in the vascular tone of anesthetized patients is common and cause hemodynamic problems. The monitoring of such changes in vascular resistance using simple and non-invasive tools is lacking. The present study was designed to determine if photoplethysmography can detect changes in the systemic vascular resistance using Doppler as the reference method.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective and observational study designed to test the reliability of photoplethysmography to diagnose changes in the vascular resistance during anesthesia. The investigators will studied 50 mechanically ventilated patients undergoing general anesthesia. Photoplethysmography will be continuously recorded in the right thumb during anesthesia. Duplex color and power Doppler will measure flow in the radial artery of the right hand.The contour analysis of both, photoplethysmogram and radial artery flow will be analyzed, correlated and compared using the Bland-Altman plot.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vascular Diseases, run by Hospital Privado de Comunidad de Mar del Plata at 1 site in Argentina.

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 2 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 3 Oct 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 Argentina. 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?

Accuracy of photoplethysmography for the assessment of systemic vascular tone (time frame: 5 hours). 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 3 Oct 2018.
