Echocardiography in Critically-ill Patients With COVID-19 Pneumonia

An observational study of COVID and Sars-CoV2, run by Hospital Ambroise Paré Paris at 1 site in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Critical care echocardiography (CCE) has been widely used since the 10 last years. Covid outbreak leads that many patients with acute respiratory failure were admitted in the ICU. Many of these patients were ventilated and developed ARDS. Some of them developed deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Read more about this study

About this study

Critical care echocardiography (CCE) has been widely used since the 10 last years. Covid outbreak leads that many patients with acute respiratory failure were admitted in the ICU. Many of these patients were ventilated and developed ARDS. Some of them developed deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Nothing is already described about the cardiac function and the hemodynamics in these patients (how many RV failure, LV systolic dysfunction,...). The echo group of the cardiodynamix section of European society of intensive care medicien (ESICM) aims to promote CCE and evaluate its interest. The objective is to retrospectively enter in an international database all the echo studies done as usual care in these patients to evaluate (i) incidence of RV failure, (ii) incidence of LV systolic function, (iii) incidence of other patterns. Another objective will be to look for any association between some patterns and respiratory strategy, blood gas analysis, systemic hemodynamics. The echo studies were done and will be reported following one of the recent systematic review published by the same group (Huang S et al. AOIC 2020).

Read the detailed description

Multicenter, international observational retrospective study. Patients admitted in the ICU between March 1th and april 26th for a pneumonia related to SARS COV 2 and who had at least one echocardiography during their stay will be included. Analysis will be retrospective in order to report the hemodynamic profile with left ventricular and right ventricular function. Will be also reported the respiratory settings, the central venous presure if available as well as usual parameters of macrocirculation. All data will be reported in RedCap by the University of sydney (https://redcap.sydney.edu.au/).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Left ventricular systolic dysfunction

    LV systolic dysfunction is defined as an ejection fraction < 45%

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Incidence of RV failure

    RV failure is defined as RV/LV end-diastolic area > 0.8

    Measured: up to 28 days

  3. Incidence of Vasoplegia

    Vasoplegia is defined as a normal or supranormal LV ejection fraction without echocarduiographic signs of hypovolemia.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  4. Incidence of Hypovolemia

    Hypovolemia is defined as inspiratory collaspe of the superior vena cava in ventilated patients or virtual inferior vena cava in spontaneously breathing patients.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Relation between plateau pressure and RV failure

    Plateau pressure and RV size

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Relation between tidal volume and RV failure

    Tidal volume and RV size

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  3. Relation between PaO2 and RV failure

    PaO2, PaO2/FiO2, and RV size

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  4. Relation between PaCO2 and RV failure

    PaCO2 and RV size

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  5. Relation between PEEP and RV failure

    PEEP and RV size

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID and Sars-CoV2, run by Hospital Ambroise Paré Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 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 France. 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?

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?

Incidence of Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (time frame: Up to 28 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04414410, 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 29 Apr 2021.
