Trial summary

Recent data suggests that increased temperature improves inotropic function during systole and may improve diastolic function in healthy humans at rest, despite a reduction in left ventricular volume at end diastole. Read more about this study

About this study

Recent data suggests that increased temperature improves inotropic function during systole and may improve diastolic function in healthy humans at rest, despite a reduction in left ventricular volume at end diastole. The effect of heat stress has not been reported in patients receiving general anesthesia and the impact of general anesthesia on these findings is not known. Trans-esophageal echocardiography will be used to measure parameters important to both systolic and diastolic function at temperature intervals of 1°C in patients undergoing "Heated Intraoperative Peritoneal Chemotherapy" (HIPEC.) That general anesthesia will not alter the cardiovascular effects of increased temperature that has been reported in healthy, un-anesthetized humans is the hypothesis.

What participants receive

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

  • Transesophageal EchocardiographyDiagnostic test

    Placement of a transesophageal probe and performance of a diagnostic Transesophageal echocardiography examination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in ejection fraction before and after hyperthermia

    Measured: Approximately 6 hours from prior to hyperthermia to during hyperthermia.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Transmitral inflow velocities before and after hyperthermia

    Measured: Approximately 6 hours from prior to hyperthermia to during hyperthermia.

  2. Pulmonary venous inflow velocities before and during hyperthermia

    Measured: Approximately 6 hours from prior to hyperthermia to during hyperthermia.

  3. Mitral annular tissue doppler velocities before and during hyperthermia

    Measured: Approximately 6 hours from prior to hyperthermia to during hyperthermia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transesophageal Echocardiography in people with Hyperthermia and Cardiac Functional Disturbances During Surgery, run by University of California, San Diego at 1 site in United States.

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 6 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 21 Sep 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 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 ejection fraction before and after hyperthermia (time frame: Approximately 6 hours from prior to hyperthermia to during hyperthermia.). 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 2020.
