Trial summary

In the perioperative or critical care of hemodynamically unstable patients, appropriate fluid resuscitation guided by reliable preload indices is of pivotal importance as only half of them are fluid responsive, and that empiric fluid administration actually leads to dismal prognosis.

About this study

In the perioperative or critical care of hemodynamically unstable patients, appropriate fluid resuscitation guided by reliable preload indices is of pivotal importance as only half of them are fluid responsive, and that empiric fluid administration actually leads to dismal prognosis. In the continuum of being non-invasive, combinations of tissue Doppler-derived parameters of early (e') and late (a') diastolic, and peak systolic velocity (s') of the mitral annulus provide information regarding the systolic dysfunction and preload (e'/s'), and LV stiffness (e'/a'). Although the left ventricular end-diastolic area (LVEDA) alone is not a valid predictor of fluid responsiveness, combining LVEDA with these indices would provide comprehensive information regarding the LV dimension, preload, and compliance as well as systolic function. Also, it seems logical to assume that patients with low LVEDA and high e' velocity indicating preserved early diastolic relaxation or low e (early mitral inflow velocity) /e' ratio indicating normal LV filling pressure would more likely be fluid responsive. Yet, these assumptions have not been tested before. Moreover, these values can be reliably obtained regardless of the heart rhythm, except for a', and do not completely rely on heart-lung interaction as opposed to the dynamic indices. Thus, the aim of this prospective trial is to investigate the role of LVEDA combined with e, e', a' or s' as a preload index in predicting fluid responsiveness in patients scheduled for off-pump coronary bypass surgery, in closed-chest conditions.

hypovolemia (fluid responsiveness)The patients with fluid responsiveness (an increase in stroke volume index of ≥12%) after fluid challenge using 6 ml/kg of balanced 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (Volulyte; Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany)
NO hypovolemia (NO fluid responsiveness)The patients without fluid responsiveness after fluid challenge using 6 ml/kg of balanced 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (Volulyte; Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany)

What is being measured

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

  1. Predictive ability of combined echocardiographic index consisting of LVEDA, e, e', s' or a'

    Fluid challenge is performed once using 6 ml/kg of balanced 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (Volulyte; Fresenius Kabi, Bad Homburg, Germany) 15 to 20 min after anesthetic induction during closed chest condition. Fluid responsiveness is defined as an increase in stroke volume index of ≥ 15%. Assessment of echocardiographic variables [LVEDA, e, e', a' or s'] is performed before fluid challenge. We assess the predictive ability of a combined echocardiographic preload index consisting of LVEDA, e, e', s' or a' on fluid responsiveness using the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUROC).

    Measured: 15 to 20 min after anesthetic induction during closed chest condition

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison between the combine echocardiographic index and LVEDA alone, CVP, PCWP, RVEDV and PPV for the predictive ability on fluid responsiveness

    CVP, PCWP, RVEDV and PPV are measured as well as echocardiographic variables [LVEDA, e, e', a' or s'] before fluid challenge. We also assess the predictive ability of LVEDA alone, CVP, PCWP, RVEDV and PPV on fluid responsiveness using each AUROC, and compare the predictive power of the combined echocardiographic index on fluid responsiveness with those of the LVEDA alone, CVP, PCWP, RVEDV, and PPV.

    Measured: 15 to 20 min after anesthetic induction during closed chest condition

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fluid Responsiveness, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 27 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 South Korea. 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?

Predictive ability of combined echocardiographic index consisting of LVEDA, e, e', s' or a' (time frame: 15 to 20 min after anesthetic induction during closed chest condition). 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 27 Mar 2020.
