Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • adult patients (≥18 years) admitted to the ICU
  • Patients requiring hemodynamic monitoring using EV1000TM

About this study

Official title: Single-lumen 5Fr and Triple-lumen 6Fr PICCs Are Accurate for Hemodynamic

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are increasingly used in intensive care unit (ICU) as an alternative to centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs) for intravenous infusion. In the present study the investigators try to assess their reliability for measuring cardiac index (CI) with trans-pulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique.

What participants receive

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

  • transpolmonary thermodilutionDiagnostic test

    Thermodilution was attempted via PICC and via CICC in the same patient

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac Index comparison via PICC

    comparison of hemodynamic measurements made by the TPTD from the VolumeView/EV1000TM system via PICC vs. CICC.

    Measured: one hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of single-lumen 5Fr PICCs to CICC

    Comparison of single-lumen 5 Fr PICCs to CICC in their reliability of assessing cardiac output

    Measured: one hour

  2. Comparison of triple-lumen 6Fr PICCs to CICC

    Comparison of triple-lumen 6 Fr PICCs to CICC in their reliability of assessing cardiac output

    Measured: one hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing transpolmonary thermodilution in people with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters and Centrally Inserted Central Catheter, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

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 8 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 23 Jul 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 Italy. 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?

Cardiac Index comparison via PICC (time frame: one hour). 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 NCT04241926, 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 23 Jul 2020.
