Trial summary

The aim is to describe the physiological background for PLR and the interpretation of a PLR manoeuvre. The protocol entails the measurement of stroke volume (SV) at baseline (semirecumbent patient position), during PLR and after returning to semirecumbent position. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Passive Leg Raising - an Important Diagnostic Manoeuvre and Its Dependency on the Activity of the Autonomous Nervous System in Critically Ill Patients and Healthy Subjects

The aim is to describe the physiological background for PLR and the interpretation of a PLR manoeuvre.

The protocol entails the measurement of stroke volume (SV) at baseline (semirecumbent patient position), during PLR and after returning to semirecumbent position. Simultaneously blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR), pulse oximetric saturation (SpO2) and ECG are recorded. The procedure is performed in ten normal subjects, ten patients recruited in the cardiology outpatient department and ten critically ill patients under analgosedation in the ICU.

Analysis includes changes in measured variables and heart rate variability in the frequency domain during the three phases of the experiment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in cardiovascular variables I

    stroke volume, SV (mL)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Changes in cardiovascular variables II

    pulse rate, PR (min^-1)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Changes in cardiovascular variables III

    blood pressure, BP (mmHg)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  4. Changes in cardiovascular variables IV

    pulse oximetric saturation, SpO2 (%)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  5. Changes in HRV frequency domain variables V

    Heart rate variability, HRV, variables in frequency domain (low frequency, LF, 0.04-0.15 Hz, high frequency, HF, 0.15-0.4 Hz)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  6. Changes in HRV frequency domain variables VI

    HRV absolute power (ms^2, natural logarithm transformed values of absolute powers of very low frequency, VLF, LF, and HF bands)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  7. Changes in HRV frequency domain variables VII

    HRV relative power (absolute power/total power)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  8. Changes in HRV frequency domain variables VIII

    HRV normalized power (%, normalized units, n.u.)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  9. Changes in HRV frequency domain variables IX

    HRV total power given by VLF + HF + LF (ms2) and LF/HF ratio.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Passive Leg Raising in people with Cardiovascular Insufficiency, run by Region MidtJylland Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.

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 24 Sep 2021. 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 Denmark. 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?

Changes in cardiovascular variables I (time frame: 10 minutes). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03454802, 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 24 Sep 2021.
