About this study

Official title: The Effect of Cerebral Oxymetry in Determining Neurological Outcome in Patients Treated With Therapeutic Hypothermia

This study is designed to assess the effect of cerebral oxygen saturation as an early predictor of neurological outcomes in patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest

Read the detailed description

Our study is planned as a prospective observational study. Patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia in our intensive care unit after cardiac arrest will be enrolled. Each patient's cerebral oxygenation will be monitored with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in every 6 hours during our 24 hour lasting hypothermia period. Afterwards, patients will be monitorised in every 6 hours during the first day of hypothermia and than the mean values of daily cerebral oxygen values will be noted in the third, fourth and fifth days of nomothermia. Regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) will be noted from left and right probes. Full Outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) Score, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) and cerebral performance category scale (CPC) will be noted at the beginning of therapeutic hypothermia and each day during normothermia, day 21 and the day of discharge from ICU.

Being tested
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) (INVOS®, Covidien)
Keywords
therapeutic hypothermia, targeted temperature management, neurological outcome, post-cardiac arrest syndrome
Medical subject headings
Hypoxia-Ischemia, Brain, Heart Arrest, Post-Cardiac Arrest Syndrome

What participants receive

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

  • Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) (INVOS®, Covidien)Device

    As we start the targeted temperature management protocol (24 hours of hypothermia adjusted to 33-36 C and afterwards up to five days of normothermia [36.5 C]) NIRS sensor pads will be placed over the right and left frontal area. Regional cerebral oxygen values will be continuously recorded at the NIRS monitor. Tests to assess neurological outcome will be performed. Patients will be assessed in terms of neurological performance tests and regional cerebral oxygen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of cerebral oximetry

    During the first 48 hours of hospitalization, we will collect the cerebral oximetry values in the two cerebral. hemispheres.

    Measured: 8 times during the first 48 hours of hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The cerebral oximetry values (average of the two hemispheres) will be compared between patients with good and poor neurological outcome according with CPC score

    The cerebral oximetry values (average of the two hemispheres) will be compared between patients with good and poor neurological outcome according to the CPC score.

    CPC 1: Conscious and alert with normal function or only slight disability CPC 2: Conscious and alert with moderate disability CPC 3: Conscious with severe disability CPC 4: Comatose or persistent vegetative state CPC 5: death. CPC will be evaluated at the time of admission to intensive care unit and day 21.CPC score (CPC = 1 become good score - 2 and bad become CPC = 3-5).

    Measured: Participants will be followed for 8 times during the first 48 hours of hospitalization, the third day, fourth day and fifth day and the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 2-4 weeks and a 12 month follow up will be performed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy and Post-Cardiorespiratory Arrest Coma, run by Tepecik Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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 10 Mar 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Measure of cerebral oximetry (time frame: 8 times during the first 48 hours of hospitalization). 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 NCT03024021, which also lists 3 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 10 Mar 2020.
