About this study

Official title: Cardiac Output Measurement in Critically Ill Patient in Sinus Rhythm: a Comparison Between Transpulmonary Thermodilution and Transthoracic Echocardiography

Cardiac output monitoring is a key component for the diagnosis and management of critically ill patients. The two less invasive methods commonly used in intensive care are transthoracic echocardiography and transpulmonary thermodilution. The objective of this study is to compare accuracy and trending ability of CO measurement by TPTD and TTE in critically ill patients with sinus rhythm.

Read the detailed description

TTE is an easy noninvasive device now recommended as the first evaluation of the patient in circulatory failure but it present some limits due to poor echogenicity of patients, operator-dependent variability and cannot provide continuous hemodynamic data. TPTD is an invasive technique for CO monitoring recommended especially in shock not responsive to initial therapy.

Few studies have evaluated the level of agreement of each method (TTE and TPTD) with the reference method (pulmonary artery catheter) but they have never been compared between them with strong statistical analysis in particular trending ability.

It could be interesting to determine the level of concordance of these two methods of CO monitoring and trend ability by TPTD relative to TTE.

The investigators hypothesize that CO-TPTD are concordant with those performed by TTE.

Mechanically ventilated patients requiring hemodynamic assessment will be included. CO-TPTD will be measured via intermittent thermodilution. Blindly, a second investigator will use standard-view TTE to estimate CO-TTE as the product of stroke volume and the heart rate obtained during the measurement the blood flow velocity (using a Doppler technique) at the left ventricular outflow tract. A second measurement will be done with the two devices after a fluid challenge when patient requires it to compare trending ability.

What is being measured

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

  1. bias between cardiac output measurement by TPTD and by TTE

    bias between cardiac output measurement by transthoracic echocardiography and transpulmonary thermodilution

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. percentage error between cardiac output measurement by transthoracic echocardiography and transpulmonary thermodilution

    percentage error between cardiac output measurement by transthoracic echocardiography and transpulmonary thermodilution

    Measured: Day 0

  2. percentage error between the value of Cardiac Output measured with TTE (transthoracic echocardiography) and the value of Cardiac Output measured withTPTD (transpulmonary thermodilution) after a fluid challenge.

    percentage error between the value of Cardiac Output measured with TTE and the value of Cardiac Output measured withTPTD after a fluid challenge.

    Measured: 15 minutes after inclusion

  3. The ability of TPTD (transpulmonary thermodilution) to track Cardiac Output as measured with TTE (transthoracic echocardiography)

    The ability of TPTD to track Cardiac Output as measured with TTE.

    Measured: 15 minutes after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sinus Rhythm, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 1 Jun 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?

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?

bias between cardiac output measurement by TPTD and by TTE (time frame: Day 0). 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 1 Jun 2021.
