About this study

The analysis of the systolic function (contractility) of the right ventricle (RV) is fundamental and central in many pathologies in intensive care unit. It can guide physicians in choosing therapeutics. The conventional ultrasound markers of RV function evaluation currently used are influenced by RV loading conditions, impairing their capacity to approximate a true contractility analysis. Myocardial strain imaging is a recent echographic technique that allows, among other things, to evaluate RV systolic function. It is a reproducible index with early variations which, if it proved to be independent pre-load, would help to better appreciate the RV contractility.

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  2. Evaluation of the change in tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)

    measurements will be performed using an ultrasound device usually used in our center for the hemodynamic monitoring of patients in intensive care by transthoracic cardiac ultrasound

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  3. Evaluation of the change in visual left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)

    measurements will be performed using an ultrasound device usually used in our center for the hemodynamic monitoring of patients in intensive care by transthoracic cardiac ultrasound

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  4. Evaluation of the change in mitral E wave

    measurements will be performed using an ultrasound device usually used in our center for the hemodynamic monitoring of patients in intensive care by transthoracic cardiac ultrasound

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  5. Evaluation of the change in mitral A wave

    measurements will be performed using an ultrasound device usually used in our center for the hemodynamic monitoring of patients in intensive care by transthoracic cardiac ultrasound

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  6. Evaluation of the change in wave E ' at the lateral mitral ring

    measurements will be performed using an ultrasound device usually used in our center for the hemodynamic monitoring of patients in intensive care by transthoracic cardiac ultrasound

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  7. Evaluation of the change in systolic fraction of pulmonary venous flow

    measurements will be performed using an ultrasound device usually used in our center for the hemodynamic monitoring of patients in intensive care by transthoracic cardiac ultrasound

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  8. inter individual variability of Longitudinal strain of the free wall right ventricle

    Each measurement will be performed by two blind operators

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

  9. intra individual variability of Longitudinal strain of the free wall right ventricle

    Each measurement will be performed by two blind operators

    Measured: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound measurements in people with Systolic Function, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 10 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 31 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Evaluation of the change in the Longitudinal strain of the free wall right ventricle (time frame: at baseline, 1 minute after starting hemodialysis, 1 hour after, and 5 minutes before restitution). 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 31 Oct 2019.
