Trial summary

This study aims to investigate whether the identification of acute myocardial dysfunction by 2D-strain transthoracic sonography in the first week following trauma would allow to better diagnose occult and severe patterns of myocardial contusion, in order to identify a subpopulation at higher risk of complications.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Prevalence and Prognostic Value of Acute Myocardial Dysfunction in Severe Trauma Patients With Chest Trauma Using 2D-strain Ultrasound: A Prospective Observational Study

This study aims to investigate whether the identification of acute myocardial dysfunction by 2D-strain transthoracic sonography in the first week following trauma would allow to better diagnose occult and severe patterns of myocardial contusion, in order to identify a subpopulation at higher risk of complications.

The measurement of myocardial strain (2D-strain) by transthoracic sonography is a robust tool to assess the myocardial function.

The investigators strongly suppose that the 2D-strain would allow to better identify subclinical MC in chest trauma, as well as the severe patterns that are associated with more organs dysfunctions and a worst outcome.

Read the detailed description

Thoracic trauma is the cause of significant morbidity and accounts for 25% of trauma-related deaths.

The myocardial contusion (MC) is a distinct injury, which has a prevalence increasing with the severity of the trauma. The diagnostic tool is a major factor to vary the prevalence of MC (i.e. clinical exam, biology, electrocardiogram), with the highest values for autopsy series, until 24% of patients. It does not exist therefore of gold standard for the diagnosis of MC in clinical practice leading to a modest knowledge of this nosological entity. In clinical practice, troponin plasma level determines the diagnostic.

Otherwise, the measurement of myocardial strain (2D-strain) by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is a robust tool to assess the myocardial function. This ultrasound analysis allows an objective and topographical quantification of an acute myocardial dysfunction, be it global or segmental. 2D-strain has been thus has been validated for the diagnosis of myocardial dysfunction in medical setting. Its use in trauma setting has never been reported.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chest Trauma, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 9 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 7 Apr 2022. 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?

Occurrence of an a segmental or global acute myocardial dysfunction (time frame: In the first week following trauma). 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 7 Apr 2022.
