Trial summary

Pleth Variability Index (PVI) is a variable that is derived from photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. It is used as a surrogate for intravascular volume status intraoperatively. PVI can have significant amount of baseline variability which appears to oscillate at a very low frequency (5-10 minute cycles). Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Neurosurgical and neurointerventional patients will be enrolled as these patients do rarely have sudden intravascular volume changes. Neurointerventional patients typically have no significant intravascular fluid changes, but do not routinely have intra-arterial catheters. Neurosurgical patients have slow, steady fluid shifts due to mannitol administration. Since most all of these patients have intra-arterial cannulas, it allows arterial waveform data collection which can be compared to the PPG signal.

Who may be able to join

  • Neurosurgical patients for tumor resection
  • neurointerventional patients
  • general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation
  • communicates in english (consent)
  • over 18 years of age

Who cannot join

  • unable to sign consent
  • less than 18 years of age

About this study

Pleth Variability Index (PVI) is a variable that is derived from photoplethysmography (PPG) signal. It is used as a surrogate for intravascular volume status intraoperatively. PVI can have significant amount of baseline variability which appears to oscillate at a very low frequency (5-10 minute cycles). This study aims to investigate the origin of these baseline oscillations.

Read the detailed description

PVI is derived from the infrared photoplethysmography signal. Intraoperatively during mechanical ventilation it reflect fluid responsiveness which is a surrogate endpoint of intravascular volume.

PVI signal appears to have significant baseline variability which can not be explained by rapid changes in intravascular fluid volume. The baseline PVI changes also appear to oscillate at a very low frequency, much below any previously identified spontaneous vascular oscillations.

The aim of this study is to investigate weather the PVI variability originates from changes in the infrared photoplethysmography signal or if they are possibly due to the algorithm calculating PVI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intraoperative Monitoring, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: enrollment too slow). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

PVI variability (time frame: 1 hour). 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 19 Oct 2020.
