About this study

Official title: The Effect of Continuous Invasive Arterial Blood Pressure Monitoring on Postinduction Hypotension in Patients Having Major Surgery (AWAKE Trial): a Randomized Trial

This is a randomized trial (1) investigating whether continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring using an arterial catheter reduces the area under a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction compared to intermittent arterial blood pressure monitoring using oscillometry in patients having major surgery under general anesthesia; and (2) investigating the effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring using an arterial catheter on cardiac output, stroke volume, and heart rate within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction compared to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry in patients having major surgery under general anesthesia.

What participants receive

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

    Continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring using an arterial catheter

  • Intermittent non-invasive blood pressure monitoringDevice

    Intermittent non-invasive blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry

Study groups in NCT04894019
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Continuous monitoring groupExperimentalIn patients randomized to the continuous monitoring group, continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring will be displayed on the patient monitor. The treating anesthesiologist will be blinded to intermittent blood pressure monitoring using upper-arm cuff oscillometry.
Receives: Device: Continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring
Intermittent monitoring groupActive comparatorIn patients randomized to the intermittent monitoring group, intermittent blood pressure monitoring will be displayed on the patient monitor. The treating anesthesiologist is blinded to continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring.
Receives: Device: Intermittent non-invasive blood pressure monitoring

What is being measured

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

  1. Area under a MAP of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    Measured: during the induction period

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring on cardiac output within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    Measured: during the induction period

  2. Effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring on stroke volume within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    Measured: during the induction period

  3. Effect of continuous invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring on heart rate within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group.

    Measured: during the induction period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous invasive blood pressure monitoring and Intermittent non-invasive blood pressure monitoring in people with Blood Pressure and Perioperative Hypotension, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 3 Dec 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 Germany. 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?

Area under a MAP of 65 mmHg within the first 15 minutes of anesthetic induction between the intervention and the control group. (time frame: during the induction period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04894019, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Dec 2021.
