About this study

Official title: Randomized Control Trial Comparing Routine Intraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiography During Radical Cystectomy to Standard of Care

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial looking at the utility of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) on clinical outcomes after radical cystectomy. Patients in the control group will have standard of care, patients in the TEE group will have standard of care and TEE monitoring throughout. Intraoperative and postoperative variables, such time to extubation, postoperative cardiac and pulmonary complications, intraoperative fluid and vasopressor use will be assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of intraoperative central venous line insertion

    Measured: 1 day after study enrollment

  2. postoperative return of bowel function via flatus or passage of stool

    Measured: 5 days after study enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Decreased postoperative pulmonary and cardiac complications

    Measured: approximately 5-7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transesophageal echocardiography in people with Cardiac and Pulmonary Complications. Central Venous Line Insertion. Gastrointestinal Recovery, run by University of Chicago.

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 23 Feb 2023. 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?

Incidence of intraoperative central venous line insertion (time frame: 1 day after study enrollment). 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?
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 23 Feb 2023.
