What is being measured

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

  1. Total Cost

    Total cost of each approach, as defined by the sum of material (device) costs plus the value of operative room time per minute.

    Measured: Patient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Difference in preparation time between the two approaches

    Measured: From onset of anesthesia to successful insertion of the catheter (approximately 30 minutes)

  2. Complication rates between the two groups.

    Measured: Patient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)

  3. Associated anticipated costs of complications between the two groups.

    Measured: Patient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)

  4. Patient satisfaction as assessed by post-operative questionnaire

    Measured: Questionnaire is assessed post-operatively at one day and at the 2-4 week follow up (approximately 5 minutes to assess)

  5. Anesthesiologist satisfaction as assessed by post-operative questionnaire

    Measured: Questionnaire is assessed post-operatively in the operating room (approximately 5 minutes to assess)

  6. Technical success of EndoPhys sheath for blood pressure measurement and accuracy as compared to the radial arterial line.

    Measured: Upon EndoPhys sheath insertion until it is removed from the femoral artery (approximately 1.5 hours)

  7. Sensitivity analysis to evaluated variation in times for arterial line placement

    Measured: From onset of anesthesia to successful insertion of the catheter (approximately 30 minutes)

  8. Sensitivity analysis to evaluated variable operating room time costs

    Measured: Patient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EndoPhys Sheath and Radial Arterial Line and EndoPhys Sheath in people with Cerebrovascular Disorders, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 4 Aug 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?

Total Cost (time frame: Patient time in operating room (approximately 2 hours)). 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 NCT03239847, 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 4 Aug 2017.
