Trial summary

Background: Anesthesia in free flap surgery is challenging. Monitoring of hemodynamic changes and their influence on the cardiovascular system in permanent feedback loops allow control, which is what anesthesiologists aim for to ensure an adequate blood flow and tissue oxygenation.

About this study

Background: Anesthesia in free flap surgery is challenging. Monitoring of hemodynamic changes and their influence on the cardiovascular system in permanent feedback loops allow control, which is what anesthesiologists aim for to ensure an adequate blood flow and tissue oxygenation. The circulatory support and inferable volume administration are managed via heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), but both parameters are influenced by variable components and are thus unfavorable for volume management. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether volume requirement may be assumable to additional monitoring parameters.

Methods: 31 patients were enrolled prospectively. HR, MAP, central venous pressure and O2 saturation were comprehended based on the protocols. We expanded the data set by a permanent blinded intraoperative monitoring with registration of the Cardiac Index (CI) and Stroke Volume Variation (SVV) and semi-invasive pulse-contour analysis utilizing the Pro-AQT-Device.

Read the detailed description

We conducted a prospective cohort study in accordance with the WMA Declaration of Helsinki. Standard general anesthesia with intubation and administration of sufentanil, propofol and esmeron relaxant was performed in all patients undergoing primary free flap reconstruction in course of a head and neck tumor reconstruction. Hemodynamic monitoring measurement of cardiac index and the parameter stroke volume variation as surrogate for cardiac pre-load was performed using a Pro-AQT Monitor. Using an arterial catheter previously set by the Seldinger technique as part of the standard equipment, the mean, diastolic and systolic arterial pressure was measured as part of the standard monitoring as presented. This tube was previously deaerated and flushed with 2% NaCl and connected in series with a sensor, which passes over electric line signals to the Pro-AQT-Monitor®. Based on previously entered patient data and an analysis of the arterial pulse curve characteristics, a cardiac index (CI) start-value is determined by the system. The sampling of the arterial pressure characteristics is affected by a signal having a frequency of 250 Hz. The start value is the basis for the further determination of HI trend values. The arterial pulse contour is continuously tapped and analyzed and offset against the determined start value. To calculate the cardiac index, the PICCO®-pulse contour algorithm is applied. Every 12 seconds, a new measurement is performed and documented by the system.

From the read logs ProAQT Monitor® the values of the CI, MAP, HR, stroke volume index (SVI), the stroke volume variation (SVV) and the systemic resistance index (SRI) were recorded at different measurement intervals throughout the operation. All parameters were evaluated for volume control in the course of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamic Rebound and Volume Overload, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf.

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 30 May 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?

Stroke Volume Variance (SVV) (time frame: during the surgical intervention). 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 NCT03168126, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 May 2017.
