Trial summary

Rivers et al. laid the foundation for modern hemodynamic and fluid management by establishing goal directed therapy (GDT) for the treatment of sepsis using fluid and inotropic and vasoactive agents. There have been many subsequent protocols to improve outcome in the operating room or in the ICU. Read more about this study

About this study

Rivers et al. laid the foundation for modern hemodynamic and fluid management by establishing goal directed therapy (GDT) for the treatment of sepsis using fluid and inotropic and vasoactive agents. There have been many subsequent protocols to improve outcome in the operating room or in the ICU. These are mainly passive decision support systems. Active clinical decision support systems using fluid and pharmacologic agents to improve intraoperative hemodynamics are not really found.

The investigators developed an active clinical decision support system based on an institutional GDT-protocol using fluid, vasopressors and inotropes using the LiDCOrapid device.

The goal of the study was to check the feasibility of an active clinical decision support system to optimize hemodynamics during high risk vascular surgery based on the principles of GDT implementing fluid, vasopressors and inotropes.

  • active decision support systemOther

    Also called goal directed therapy (GDT) protocol

    The active decision support system in this study is a goal directed therapy (GDT) protocol where threshold hemodynamic values are defined when to give fluid, vasopressors and inotropes. Hemodynamic values are measured with the LiDCOrapid device, which uses pulse contour analysis to continuously monitor cardiac output and respiratory variations in stroke volume (SVV).

What is being measured

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

  1. number of interventions done according to the active decision support system (GDT protocol)

    The number of interventions done according to the active decision support system (GDT protocol) is calculated.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

  2. duration of use of active decision support system

    The absolute duration of use and relative duration of use (in relation to the duration of surgery) of the active decision support system are calculated.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing active decision support system in people with Feasibility and Active Decision Support System, run by Medical University of Vienna.

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 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 20 Jun 2017. 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?

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?

number of interventions done according to the active decision support system (GDT protocol) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03012919, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 20 Jun 2017.
