Trial summary

Ultrasound measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC) have been proposed as a noninvasive tool to help guide fluid management. Well-established correlations exist between respiratory cycle-induced changes in IVC diameter and C entral Venous Pressure (CVP) . Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Noninvasive Assessment of Intravascular Volume Status for Postoperative Patients: The Correlation Between Internal Jugular Vein/Common Carotid Artery Cross-Sectional Area Ratio and the Inferior Vena Cava Diameter

Ultrasound measurements of the inferior vena cava (IVC) have been proposed as a noninvasive tool to help guide fluid management. Well-established correlations exist between respiratory cycle-induced changes in IVC diameter and C entral Venous Pressure (CVP) . Beyond providing an estimate of CVP, the caval index, or percentage collapsibility of the IVC , has been proposed as a predictor of preload reserve. This noninvasive rapid measurement of CVP is especially important in critical care settings. It can help in differentiating hypovolemic, septic and cardiogenic shock. Changes in volume status will be depicted by change in the diameter of the IVC .

However, the validity and reliability of sonographic assessment of the inferior vena cava have been matters of controversy, and its applicability has been shown to be limited by technical difficulties. Recent study has shown a significant relationship between the internal jugular vein/common carotid artery (IJV/CCA) cross-sectional area ratio and CVP in pediatric burn patients .

Type and Site of The study:

This study will be be done at Beni-Suef university hospital ,Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) after approval of the local ethics and research committee and anesthesia department of Beni- Suef University.

DATE AND PERIOD OF THE STUDY:

The study will be done between NOV. 2018 and Nov. 2019

Patients will be included:

Patients scheduled for elective or emergency major surgeries (e.g., abdominal exploration, cancer bladder, cancer rectum, cancer stomach and aorto-femoral bypass grafting) who require post-operative SICU admission for close monitoring and assessment of volume status will be considered for enrollment.

Thirty five patients will be enrolled in the study; the patients will be admitted to the post-surgical intensive care unit for post-operative close observation and monitoring for at least 24 h. Upon admission, baseline laboratory investigation, chest x-ray, Arterial Blood Gases (ABG) and vital signs (hear rate, mean arterial blood pressure, arterial oxygen saturation and temperature) will be all measured.

Patients will get nurse-controlled analgesia using morphine boluses of 1-2 mg intravenously, followed by a continuous infusion of 1 or 2 mg/h according to the protocol of the SICU team. CVP, sonographic measurement of (IJV/CCA) cross sectional area ratio and IVC diameter will be measured after admitting the patient to SICU as a baseline reading, second measurements will be after achieving CVP between (8-12 cmH2O).

Data to be collected and measured

Demographic data will be obtained from patient's notes and charts including

1- Age, sex, body mass index, ASA physical status and type of surgery.

Cardiorespiratory variables of the Patients include:

  • CVP (CMH2O),
  • Heart rate (beats/min),
  • MAP( mmHg),
  • Oxygen saturation (spo2 %),
  • Urine output (ml/h),

IVC measurements include:

  • IVC Maximum Diameter (cm).
  • IVC Minimum Diameter (cm).

Internal jugular vein and common carotid artery measurements include:

  • CCA Surface
  • IJV surface at inspiration
  • IJV surface at expiration
  • IJV/CCA RATIO at inspiration
  • IJV/CCA RATIO at expiration

Data will be measured after admitting the patient to SICU as a baseline reading, second measurements will be after achieving CVP between (8-12 cmH2O).

What is being measured

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

  1. The correlation between (Internal Jugular Vein/Common Carotid Artery Cross-Sectional Area Ratio),and Inferior Vena Cava Diameter by using ultrasound

    The correlation between (Internal Jugular Vein/Common Carotid Artery Cross-Sectional Area Ratio),and Inferior Vena Cava Diameter by using ultrasound

    Measured: immediately upon admission to surgical intensive care unit and after acchieving cvp above 8 cmh2o by saline infusion (10 ml/kg) average 3 hours after admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intravascular Volume, run by Beni-Suef University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2018. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The correlation between (Internal Jugular Vein/Common Carotid Artery Cross-Sectional Area Ratio),and Inferior Vena Cava Diameter by using ultrasound (time frame: immediately upon admission to surgical intensive care unit and after acchieving cvp above 8 cmh2o by saline infusion (10 ml/kg) average 3 hours after admission). 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 6 Dec 2018.
