About this study

Official title: The Reliability of Noninvasive Effective Pulmonary Blood Flow to Detect Fluid Responsiveness During a Positive End-expirator Trial in Ventilated Patients

Fluid responsiveness is difficult to assess at the bedside. The accuracy of published techniques to detect preload-dependent patients have many pitfalls and limitations. The present study test the role of noninvasive effective pulmonary blood flow measured by expired carbon dioxide to detect fluid responsivess in mechanically ventilated patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective and observational study designed to test the accuracy of the non-invasive effective pulmonary blood flow measured by the capnodynamic methodology for detect preload-dependent patients.

Fourty patients undergoing mechanical ventilation during surgery will be studied. Preload-depency (fluid responsiveness) will be tested during an increase in end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) from 5 to 10 cmH2O during one minute. Pulse pressure variation will be use as the reference method to detect preload-dependency. The effective pulmonary blood flow will be continuously recorded during the PEEP maneuver. Receiver Operator Curves will be used to detect fluid responsiveness taking a pulse pressure variation higher than 13%.The corresponding cut off value for the effective pulmonary blood flow signal will be determined..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Hospital Privado de Comunidad de Mar del Plata at 1 site in Argentina.

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 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 26 Aug 2022. 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 Argentina. 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?

Fluid responsivess assessment with the effective pulmonary blood flow (time frame: 10 months). 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 NCT03693365, 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 Aug 2022.
