About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Optimalization in Pediatric Critically Ill Patients: Prospective Observational Trial

Hemodynamic unstability, defined by macrocirculation and/or microcirculation dysfunction or alteration is common in critically ill pediatric patients. The initial treatment of hemodynamically unstable patient is the fluid resuscitation (fluid challenge therapy). However, the stabilization of hemodynamics only with fluid resuscitation can be achieved in less than 50% pediatric patients. In case of persistent hypotension (defined as mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg, or by the formula - 55 + 1,5 x age in years), or in case of persistent lactate levels and base deficit elevation is the catecholamine therapy method of choice in case of sufficiently restored intravascular volume. In adult patients, the drug of choice (the first line therapy of persistent hypotension) is considered norepinephrine (based on evidence-based data). The norepinephrine is administered intravenously in form of continuous infusion, with the dose adjusted to the target level of mean arterial pressure (MAP). It should be preferably administered through the central venous catheter to minimize the complications associated with the damage of the peripheral vein wall damage in case of administered into the peripheral vein. Due to lack of evidence-based data (EBM) for pediatric population, there is still significant heterogenity of clinical practice and dobutamin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine are being used for hemodynamically unstable pediatric patient.

Read the detailed description

After Ethics committee approval, pediatric patients admitted to the Departement of pediatric anesthesiology and intensive care with the need of vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy in the selected study period will be included. The primary aim of the trial is the describe the therapy effect on the vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure), level of lactate and base deficit in 1,3,6,12,24,48 and every other 24th hours. The secondary aim of the trial is the incidence of complications: arrythmias, hypertension, defects of peripheral perfusion, mortality, renal failure, the PELOD-2 and pSOFA score at admission and every next 24 hours. The cumulative overall dose and the cumulative 24 hours dose of vasopressors/inotropes will be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy effect on blood pressure

    Blood pressure will be measured during ICU stay

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month

  2. Vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy effect on levels of lactate

    blood levels of lactate will be measured during ICU stay

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month

  3. Vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy effect on blood levels of base deficit

    blood levels of base deficit will be measured during ICU stay

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month

  4. Vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy effect on heart rate

    Heart rate will be measured during ICU stay

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of associated complications

    The incidence of arrythmias, hypertension, defects of peripheral perfusion, renal failure will be measured during the therapy

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month

  2. Change in Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2 score)

    The Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score will be measured every day from ICU admission until ICU discharge

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month

  3. Change in The Pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA)

    The Pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) score will be measured every day every day from ICU admission until ICU discharge

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamic Instability, run by Brno University Hospital at 1 site in Czechia.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2023. 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 Czechia. 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?

Contact Jozef Klučka, MD (532234696 ext. 00420, Klucka.Jozef@fnbrno.cz), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy effect on blood pressure (time frame: From date of ICU admission until the date of weaning from vasopressor and/or inotrope therapy, assessed up to 1 month). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Jul 2023.
