About this study

Official title: Validation of End-tidal CO2 for Transplumonary Blood Flow Monitoring During PVA-ECMO

Cardiogenic shock, the most severe form of acute heart failure, is a critical situation where the body cells lack of oxygen because of cardiac dysfunction. The failure of pharmacological therapy to maintain adequate perfusion has led to attempts to improve the circulation by the use of mechanical circulatory support devices. Peripheral veno-arterial support (PVA-ECMO) is the most frequently used device. It consists of extracorporeal circulatory support. Venous blood is aspirated via the right atrium and reinjected into the descending aorta via the femoral artery. As a consequence of this by-pass, pulmonary artery flow and residual left ventricle ejection can fall drastically until zero in the most severe patients. A minimal transpulmonary blood flow is crucial to avoid left heart cavities and pulmonary artery and left heart cavities thrombosis. The gold standard technique to monitor transpulmonary blood flow is right-heart cavities catheterism (Swan-Ganz catheter) but it represents major limits: invasive technique, limited duration of utilization because of septic risk, physical limit of flow measurement (under 1 liter/minute). End-tidal pressure carbon dioxide (Pet CO2) monitoring (or capnography) is a routine and non-invasive measure in ventilated patients. Previous studies have shown that changes in PetCO2 can measure changes in cardiac output in anesthetized patients and that PetCO2 is a useful index of pulmonary artery blood flow during separation from cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that PetCO2 is correlated to transpulmonary blood flow in patients under PVA-ECMO and that exhaled CO2 can provide an on-line, continuous, and noninvasive monitor of residual outflow from the heart during PVA-ECMO.

Settings

This prospective study is conducted since January 2016 in our tertiary ICU and has been approved by our hospital's institutional review board. Informed consent will be obtained from all patients or their surrogates.

Hemodynamic is monitored via a radial arterial catheter for continuous blood pressure monitoring, a pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz CCOmbo® CCO/SvO2, Edwards Lifesciences) inserted through the superior vena cava (jugular intern or subclavian vein) and transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) at PVA-ECMO implantation or at operator discretion.

ECMO circuit settings and patients management under ECMO

PVA-ECMO consist of polyvinyl chloride tubing with a membrane oxygenator (PH.I.S.I.O and EOS; Sorin Group, Clamart, France), a centrifugal pump (Stockert; Sorin Group), and percutaneous or surgically inserted arterial and venous femoral cannulae (Fem-Flex and Fem-Track, Edwards Life- sciences, Guyancourt, France) with or without an additional 7 F cannula inserted distally into the femoral artery to prevent lower limb ischemia. An oxygen-air blender (Sechrist Industries, Anaheim, CA) ventilate the membrane oxygenator. Unfractionated heparin is administrated to maintain an activated partial thromboplastin time between 1.5 and 2 times the normal value. The lower speed flow necessary for adequate tissue perfusion is wanted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Residual Cardiac Output During PVA-ECMO, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 5 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 26 Oct 2017. 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 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?

Assessment of end-tidal pressure CO2 (PetCO2) correlation with pulmonary artery flow (time frame: Up to 5 days). 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 NCT03323268, 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 26 Oct 2017.
