Trial summary

This is a pilot study to investigate whether patients at advanced age are fluid responders via a reversible fluid challenge, the passive leg raise test. This will be measured with a non-invasive cardiac output monitor, the LiDCO (LiDCO Hemodynamic monitoring) . Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Passive Leg Raise Induced Stroke Volume Changes in Elderly Prior to Elective Surgery Measured by LiDCOplusTM to Guide Fluid Therapy

This is a pilot study to investigate whether patients at advanced age are fluid responders via a reversible fluid challenge, the passive leg raise test. This will be measured with a non-invasive cardiac output monitor, the LiDCO (LiDCO Hemodynamic monitoring) .

Read the detailed description

The intervention is as simple as a passive leg raise with measurement of effect on Stroke volume.

Being tested
Passive leg raise

What participants receive

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

  • Passive leg raiseOther

    By tilting the patient's bed from sitting 45 degrees to supine with legs tilted up 45 degrees we recruit the blood volume in the legs and can measure a reversible fluid challenge on stroke volume.

Study groups in NCT02977390
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Passive Leg Raise (PLR)OtherThe patient is placed in a 45 degree recumbent position. Stroke volume is measured in ml. Intervention:The patient is placed horizontal and the legs are passively raised to 45 degrees. Measurement:The effect of the PLR on Stroke Volume is measured. Thereafter the patient is repositioned to the initial position and Stroke Volume is measured again.
Receives: Other: Passive leg raise

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess passive leg raise responsiveness in spontaneously breathing aged patients.

    Stroke volume changes in ml and as per cent change compared to baseline

    Measured: Within 1 minute of the intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Investigate whether there is an association between a positive response to passive leg raise on stroke volume and post spinal anesthesia.

    Post spinal bloodpressure per cent change or 30 mmHg decrease

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Passive leg raise in people with Stroke Volume and Cardiovascular System, run by Karolinska Institutet at 1 site in Sweden.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2016. 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 Sweden. 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?

Assess passive leg raise responsiveness in spontaneously breathing aged patients. (time frame: Within 1 minute of the intervention). 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 1 Dec 2016.
