Trial summary

It is well known, that patients with circulatory impairment sometimes, but not always, benefit from intravenous fluids. Predicting if a fluid administration will improve circulation is therefore of substantial clinical interest. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Fluid Responsiveness Prediction Using Pulse Pressure Variation - Integrating Ventilator Settings

It is well known, that patients with circulatory impairment sometimes, but not always, benefit from intravenous fluids. Predicting if a fluid administration will improve circulation is therefore of substantial clinical interest.

Ventilator treatment induces cyclic variation in blood pressure due to interaction between the lungs and the heart. This variation is minor, but its amplitude may be used for guiding fluid administration.

However, this method of using ventilator-induced variation in blood pressure to predict the effect of fluid administration was developed when different settings for ventilator treatment was recommended, compared with today. With today's recommend ventilator treatment, the method is, unfortunately, less reliable.

The investigators will investigate how different ventilator settings influence variation in blood pressure, and the investigators will test if this knowledge allows us to better predict the effect of a fluid administration, by taking the ventilator settings into account.

What participants receive

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

  • Series of ventilator settingsOther

    Before a planned fluid administration, the investigators will apply a series of 10 ventilator settings for 30 seconds each.

    The settings are the following combinations of respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume (TV):

    RR (min^-1), TV (ml/kg predicted body weight)

    31, 6

    31, 8

    24, 6

    24, 8

    17, 6

    17, 8

    10, 4

    10, 6

    10, 8

    10, 10

    (the order of the respiratory rates: 17 to 31, will be randomized. 10/min will always be last. Tidal volume is always applied from lowest to highest for each respiratory rate).

What is being measured

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

  1. >10% Increase in stroke volume from before to after a fluid bolus. (Fluid responsiveness)

    A patient is considered a fluid responder if they have a >10% increase in stroke volume (pulse contour analysis by the Edwards EV1000 with a FloTrac sensor).

    Pre-fluid stroke volume is calculated as the median stroke volume estimate in the two minutes immediately preceding the fluid bolus.

    Post-fluid stroke volume is calculated as the median stroke volume estimate in the two minutes immediately following the fluid bolus.

    Change in stroke volume is calculated as: 100% * (Post-fluid stroke volume - Pre-fluid stroke volume) / Pre-fluid stroke volume

    Measured: From two minutes before to two minutes after a fluid administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypovolemia and Fluid Overload, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 16 Jul 2021. 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 Denmark. 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?

>10% Increase in stroke volume from before to after a fluid bolus. (Fluid responsiveness) (time frame: From two minutes before to two minutes after a fluid administration.). 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 NCT04298931, 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 16 Jul 2021.
