Trial summary

Fluid therapy is often used as first line treatment of acute circulatory failure, aiming an increase in cardiac output (by improving preload) and in tissue perfusion. Depending on left ventricular systolic function, fluid challenge could lead to an increase in cardiac ouput and tissue perfusion, or only detrimental… Read more about this study

About this study

Fluid therapy is often used as first line treatment of acute circulatory failure, aiming an increase in cardiac output (by improving preload) and in tissue perfusion. Depending on left ventricular systolic function, fluid challenge could lead to an increase in cardiac ouput and tissue perfusion, or only detrimental consequences (by fluid overload and aggravation of lung and tissues oedema, increase of morbi-mortality). Patients are defined as responders to fluid therapy if one can observe an increase of cardiac output up to 15% after fluid therapy (500ml of crystalloids): gold standard test used in most of the studies on the subject. Literature reports on heterogenous populations a reproductible and constant response rate to this fluid challenge of 50%. It seems reasonable to dispose of indices allowing to predict fluid responsiveness without resulting in fluid intake. Statics markers have been abandonned for several years and dynamics methods have been developped.

In front of arrythmia, validated methods are scarce. Passive leg rising method appears to be the only one and it's validity seems to be less well documented than in sinusal patients. The purpose of this study is to determine a new method to assess fluid responsiveness in arrythmic patients.

In atrial fibrillation, RR interval varies widely between cardiac cylces. Systolic interval remain constant. Variations will occure at expense of diastolic interval, or ventricular filling interval. One can reliably assume that when RR is longer, preload is rising. If the patient is on the ascendant part of the Franck-Starling curve, a longer RR should cause au greater VTI (Vitess Time Integral, surrogate of cardiac output).

The evaluation by transthoracic echocardiography of the indice delta ITV / delta RR should determine the degree of fluid responsiveness in arrhythmic patients.

After decision of fluid expansion, patients will have haemodynamic and echocardiographic data measured, delta ITV / delta RR indice assessed, then passive leg rising and fluid expansion with 500 ml of cristalloids administered, with evaluation of VTI (as surrogate of cardiac output) at each time. Fluid responders will be compared to non-responders to evaluate the diagnostic performances of the indice delta ITV / delta RR.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the index deltaI ITV / delta RR

    Increase of 15% or more of stroke volume after fluid therapy

    Measured: Fluid therapy taking 20 minutes, with responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid therapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic performances of passive leg rising for prediction of fluid responsiveness

    Measured: Fluid therapy taking 20 minutes, with responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid therapy

  2. Diagnostic performances of respiratory variations of inferior vena cava for prediction of fluid responsiveness

    Measured: Fluid therapy taking 20 minutes, with responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Preload assessment and volume expansion in people with Arrhythmia Atrial, run by Poitiers University Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 16 Jun 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 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?

Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the index deltaI ITV / delta RR (time frame: Fluid therapy taking 20 minutes, with responsiveness evaluation within the 5 minutes following fluid therapy). 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 16 Jun 2020.
