Trial summary

About this study

Placement of an external ventricular shunt is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures in neuro-resuscitation. However, the modalities of its withdrawal are not, the subject of recommendations but rather of service habits. It has been recently demonstrated that pupillary monitoring by an electronic pupillometer was more reliable than standard clinical monitoring in brain injury patients. This tool provides access to a rich pupillary semiology at the patient's bed.

So the goal is to study the evolution of the various pupillary parameters analyzed by the electronic pupillometer during the external ventricular shunt weaning tests and to highlight the predictive factors of failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference in pupillary contraction speed during the photomotor reflex measured by electronic pupillometer as a function of the outcome of the External ventricular lead clamping test

    Measured: 48 HOURS

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of the pupillometry parameters between neuro wronged's patients and not neuro wronged's patients (parameters measured by pupillometer)

    Measured: 48 HOURS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of All Indication for External Ventricular Drain Clamping, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 25 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

The difference in pupillary contraction speed during the photomotor reflex measured by electronic pupillometer as a function of the outcome of the External ventricular lead clamping test (time frame: 48 HOURS). 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 25 Nov 2020.
