About this study

Official title: Closed-loop Control of Vasopressor Administration in High-Risk Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: A Case Series

Intraoperative hypotension and blood pressure variability are associated with postoperative complications in surgical patients.

The investigators have developed a closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controller that titrates norepinephrine to correct hypotension.

After having tested the system in a small cohort series of patients undergoing major surgeries, the investigators aimed to test the feasibility of the CLV controller in three high risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Read the detailed description

The investigators have recently developed an automated closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controller to better titrate vasopressor (e.g:norepinephrine) to maintain MAP within a narrow range (±5mmHg of the chosen target).

The investigators published engineering, animal studies and recently described the feasibility of titration of norepinephrine in 20 patients undergoing major noncardiac procedures. This initial cohort human study showed the controller was able to keep patients within ± 5 mmHg of a target pressure for more than 90% of management time. Cardiac surgery represents unique challenges in MAP management as the manipulation of the heart itself, the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and cardioplegia, and the pre-existing cardiac disease all increase the difficulty in maintaining a steady MAP throughout the surgical period.

In this case series the investigators describe three cardiac surgical procedures managed with the CLV system (one coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure done under CPB; one robotic minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure (through a mini-thoracotomy), and one off-pump CABG) in order to assess its feasibility, efficiency and behavior in three high-risk patients before starting a randomized controlled trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. percentage of time spent during surgery in hypotension

    percentage of time spent during surgery in hypotension defined as a MAP below 65 mmHg.

    Measured: during surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. time in target during surgery

    time with a MAP within 5 mmHg of the chosen target

    Measured: during surgery

  2. Percentage of active treatment time spent in a hypertensive state

    Percentage of active treatment time spent in a hypertensive state, defined as a MAP >5mmHg above the chosen target MAP with an active norepinephrine infusion

    Measured: during surgery

  3. Amount of vasopressor used

    Amount of vasopressor administered to the patient

    Measured: during surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing closed-loop system for vasopressor administration in people with Hemodynamic MAP Stability, run by Erasme University Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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 18 Jan 2020. 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 Belgium. 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?

percentage of time spent during surgery in hypotension (time frame: during surgery). 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 18 Jan 2020.
