About this study

Official title: Echocardiography Findings and Perioperative Outcomes in Children Undergoing Congenital Heart Surgery: Prospective Observational Study

This study evaluates the association between perioperative echocardiographic Doppler findings and clinical outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. In our center, anesthesiologists perform transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography during perioperative period routinely in children undergoing surgery for congenital cardiac disease. Echocardiographic findings include the doppler patterns of hepatic vein, portal vein, renal artery, renal vein and splenic vein before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. Portal pulsatility index, renal resistive index, and respiratory variations in peak aortic blood flow velocity and diameter of inferior vena cava are measured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characteristics of Doppler values and its derived parameters of portal vein, hepatic vein, renal artery and vein, and splenic vein measured using echocardiography in children with congenital cardiac disease

    To find the characteristics and standard values of Doppler findings measured by echocardiography before and after congenital cardiac surgery

    Measured: after anesthetic induction until the end of surgery

  2. Association between Doppler values measured by echocardiography and clinical outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery

    To evaluate whether Doppler values of portal vein, hepatic vein, renal artery and vein, and splenic vein measured using echocardiography can predict major adverse outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery

    Measured: through study completion, an average 1-2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patients with major adverse outcomes after pediatric cardiac surgery

    Measured: through study completion, an average 1-2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Cardiac Defect, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 5 May 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 South Korea. 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?

Characteristics of Doppler values and its derived parameters of portal vein, hepatic vein, renal artery and vein, and splenic vein measured using echocardiography in children with congenital cardiac disease (time frame: after anesthetic induction until the end of surgery). The study lists 2 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 NCT03990779, 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 5 May 2022.
