About this study

Official title: Blood Volume, Components and Capillary Leak in ICU Patients With SARS-CoV-2 and Bacterial Infections

In patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the state of the intravascular volume, the characteristics of the blood volume components, and the development of a vascular leak is currently unknown. The relationship of these parameters with parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion parameters have never been studied.

Read the detailed description

Acute respiratory failure related to infection by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is the main reason for ICU admission in in the majority of patients admitted to the ICU in this viral syndrome, and it presents a significant clinical challenge. Severe hypoxemia in these patients is thought to be related in part to generation of alveolar edema. This would be related to the specific infection related injury of the alveoli-capillary membrane, however other factors could be related to edema formation. Although patients meet criteria for the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), there is significant controversy about whether the lungs of the COVID-19 patients have the characteristics of ARDS and thus whether the treatment should mimic treatment of ARDS due to other causes. A general principle in ARDS patients is to avoid positive fluid balances as this may contribute to alveolar edema. Also, the guidelines on the management of COVID-19 patients by the Society of Critical Care Medicine advocate a conservative fluid strategy. However, uncorrected hypovolemia may result in additional organ dysfunction (especially kidney injury). The clinical fluid status is usually estimated by the presence of peripheral edema and daily fluid balances and thus prone to errors as these are poorly related to the circulating blood volume. Management of patients with sepsis based on blood volume measurements and red blood cell volume, to disclose true anemia, has been shown to improve outcome. Finally, the transudation of albumin in the extravascular space has been shown to be associated with outcome of critically ill patients. It is highly plausible that these parameters could help guide the care of COVID-19 patients given the available data in the literature, thus promoting better treatment of these patients.

This is a prospective multicenter study where the treatment team is blinded to the results of the study. The primary objective of the study is to describe the blood volume, the volume of blood components, the capillary leak and parameters of cardiac performance, lung edema and sublingual microcirculatory perfusion and their trajectory during the early phase of hospitalization of patients with SARS-CoV-2 or bacterial infection.

What participants receive

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

  • BVA-100Device

    The BVA-100 is a software package designed to calculate human blood volume using the method of tracer dilution. It uses tagged serum albumin.

  • Transpulmonary Thermodilution (TPTD)Device

    Also called PICCO

    TPTD consists of placing a thermistor-equipped catheter in a central artery (usually the femoral or axillary artery) and injecting cold saline solution into a central vein through a central venous catheter.

  • Sublingual MicrocirculationDevice

    Also called CytoCam

    With incident dark field imaging, the CytoCam device can record digital image sequences using a handheld camera. In the current study the camera will be used to non-invasively record images of the sublingual microcirculation.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Change in Absolute Total Blood Volume (time frame: Day 1, Day of ICU Discharge (up to day 21)). The study lists 22 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 21 Sep 2023.
