About this study

Official title: The Comparison of the Effectiveness of Finger and Forehead Plethysmographic Variability Index Monitoring in Pediatric Patients

In pediatric surgical patients, the sensitivity of forehead and finger PVI monitoring was similar for the prediction of fluid responsiveness, whereas the specificity of forehead monitoring was higher. The use of forehead PVI probes in the fluid management of these patients seemed to be appropriate because cephalic region was not affected by low perfusion states.

Read the detailed description

he Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI) can be measured with both finger and forehead probes. Vasoconstriction may reduce the reliability of PVI measurements in pediatric surgical patients prone to hypothermia. The vascular structure of the forehead area is resistant to changes in vasomotor tonus. The aim of our study is to compare the efficacy of PVI values measured at the finger and forehead areas to predict fluid responsiveness in these patients.

Fifty pediatric patients with obtained parental consent and ethics committee approval underwent elective minor surgery were included into the study. Basic monitoring, finger and forehead perfusion index (PI) and PVI monitoring were applied. Hemodynamic parameters, PI, PVI, cardiac output (CO) values were recorded. The 15% increase in CO with passive leg raise (PLR) maneuver was estimated as fluid responsiveness. Two groups were created: Group R (fluid responsive); Group NR (fluid nonresponsive). Mann-Whitney U, t, chi-square and ROC tests were used in statistical evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI)

    The Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI) can be measured with both finger and forehead probes by pvi monitoring.

    Measured: 15 minute intervals during surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cardiac output (CO)

    Cardiac output (CO) values were recorded by noninvasive cardiac output monitoring

    Measured: 15 minute intervals during surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PVI, run by Marmara University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 18 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI) (time frame: 15 minute intervals during surgery). 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 18 Jun 2021.
