About this study

Official title: Time Course Evolution of Cardiac Output in Critically Ill Patients After a Fluid Expansion

Fluid expansion is the first therapeutic option in patients presenting acute circulatory failure but the duration of its hemodynamic effects (persistency and time of maximal increase in cardiac output) is unknown.

This study is seeking to describe in critically ill patients, the time course evolution of cardiac output over a 2-hours period after a fluid expansion.

The objectives are:

  1. to identify patterns of fluid responsiveness
  2. to determine the time when the maximal increase in cardiac output occurs during and a after fluid expansion
  3. to compare patients' characteristics between patterns

Patients with acute circulatory failure will be recruited as soon as a fluid expansion will be decided by the physician in charge and the effects of fluid expansion on hemodynamic indices (cardiac output, arterial pressure) will be continuously recorded through a transpulmonary thermodilution device over a 2-hours period.

No changes in ventilatory settings nor vasopressors or sedatives will be allowed during the study.

Patients will be categorized into patterns according to the changes in cardiac output after fluid expansion and their characteristics will be compared.

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted in four medico-surgical ICUs in France between April 2016 and April 2018.

Since fluid challenge and invasive monitoring by thermodilution device is standard of care for septic shock management, the institutional review board waived patient consent. All patients and/or their next of kind will receive written information.

Eligible patients will have to present an acute circulatory failure for whom the physician in charge will decide to start a fluid expansion.

Hemodynamic variables will be obtained through transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis (PICCO2 device, Pulsion Germany).

Fluid expansion will consist in the infusion of 500 ml of saline through a central venous catheter in a standardized 10-minutes period. The duration of infusion will be controlled by an airbag pressurized at 300 mmHg.

Fluid responsiveness will be defined by an increase in cardiac output over 15-per-cent from baseline (before fluid expansion).

Study design:

At time of decision to make the fluid expansion, a calibration of the PICCO2 device will be performed and a first set of hemodynamic measurements will be collected (cardiac output, cardiac function index, extravascular lung water, permeability vascular pulmonary index, global end diastolic volume, arterial pressure, heart rate).

Then, fluid expansion will be administrated in less than 10 minutes. From the start of fluid expansion to the end of the two-hours period ot time, pulse contour cardiac output and arterial pressure will be continuously recorded.

During the whole two hours period, no change in vasopressor dosage nor mechanical ventilation settings will be allowed.

In case of hemodynamic instability, defined by a mean arterial pressure under 65mmHg, a new fluid expansion could be realized. In this last case, the protocol will start again from the beginning.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Saline Solution for InjectionDrug

    The fluid expansion will consist in a less than 10 min infusion of 500 milliliters of saline through a central venous catheter (jugular). The duration of infusion will be controlled by an airbag pressurized at 300 mmHg.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Circulatory Failure, run by Association pour le Développement et l'Organisation de la Recherche en Pneumologie et sur le Sommeil.

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 10 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 4 Oct 2018. 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?

Change in cardiac output during fluid expansion (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 NCT03694717, 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 Oct 2018.
