Trial summary

As an approximate of the difference between venous-to-arterial CO2 tension (∆PCO2), ∆PCO2 is proportional to CO2 production and inversely related to cardiac output (Fick equation). Read more about this study

Study population: The subjects were sequentially admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of 105 Hospital of PLA from March of 2016 till the end of this study.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients were included in the study, if the attending physician find the persistence of signs of hypoperfusion (oliguria, mottled skin, central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) <70 % despite a hemoglobin > 8 g/dl),despite achieving adequate intravascular volume and adequate mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 65 mmHg as recommended by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign.

Who cannot join

  • Exclusion criteria were pregnancy, COPD,age less than 18 years old, unstable hemodynamic condition (change of vasoactive drug dosage or fluid administration within 1 h preceding the protocol) and uncontrolled tachyarrhythmias (heart rate>140 beats/min).

About this study

Official title: Effects of Respiratory Rate on Venous-to-arterial CO2 Tension Difference in Septic Shock Patients Under Volume Mechanical Ventilation

As an approximate of the difference between venous-to-arterial CO2 tension (∆PCO2), ∆PCO2 is proportional to CO2 production and inversely related to cardiac output (Fick equation). Anaerobic CO2 production is thought to occur when tissue hypoxia is present, mostly because of buffering of bicarbonate ions by the protons produced in excess secondary to the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate. Therefore ∆PCO2 has been proposed as a marker of tissue hypoxia.

Read the detailed description

An increased ∆PCO2 (> 6 mmHg) could be used to identify patients who still remain inadequately resuscitated, when deciding when to continue resuscitation despite a central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) > 70% associated with elevated blood lactate levels.

Under steady states of both VO2 and VCO2, P (v-a) CO2 was observed to increase in parallel with the reduction in cardiac output. However, spontaneous breathing and hyperventilation may reduce PaCO2 and prevent the CO2 stagnation-induced rise in PvCO2.

To date,these studies of ∆PCO2 and respiratory rate in septic shock patients Under Volume Mechanical Ventilation are rarely.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shock, run by 105 Hospital of Chinese People's Liberation Army.

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 1 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 18 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Effects of respiratory rate on venous-to-arterial CO2 tension difference in septic shock patients Under Volume Mechanical Ventilation (time frame: 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 18 Aug 2016.
