Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is to show that cardiovascular risk factors associated with the chronic elevation of arterial resistance may be associated with "false" profiles of intracranial hypertension during transcranial doppler ultrasound of the middle cerebral arteries in intensive care unit patients.

About this study

The primary objective of this study is to show that cardiovascular risk factors associated with the chronic elevation of arterial resistance may be associated with "false" profiles of intracranial hypertension during transcranial doppler ultrasound of the middle cerebral arteries in intensive care unit patients. A "false" profile of intracranial hypertension is defined by a high pulsatility index without any intracranial pathology.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02898389
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1: With cardiovascular risk factorsPatients fall within this group when they have at least one of the cardiovascular risk factors listed in the eligibility criteria section.
Group 1: Without cardiovascular risk factorsPatients fall into this group when they do not have any of the cardiovascular risk factors listed in the eligibility criteria section.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pulsatility index on the middle cerebral arteries

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Diastolic velocity at the middle cerebral arteries

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Mean velocity at the middle cerebral arteries

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiration, Artificial and Sedated, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 5 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 12 Aug 2020. 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 France. 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?

Pulsatility index on the middle cerebral arteries (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Aug 2020.
