About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Invasive and Non-invasive Measurement of Cardiac Index and Systemic Vascular Resistance in Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Patients who are scheduled to receive living donor liver transplantation will be monitored with a radial and femoral arterial line. A pulmonary artery catheter will also be placed and central venous pressure, cardiac index, and cardiac output will also be monitored. Simultaneously, on the middle finger of the hand where the radial artery is monitored, Clearsight (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA), a finger cuff, is placed and noninvasive blood pressure, cardiac output, cardiac index are measured. Using the VitalDB program, the parameters measured with the invasive methods and the parameters obtained by the noninvasive method are compared.

Read the detailed description

In many end stage liver disease patients, cardiac output (CO) is increased and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is decreased. During liver transplantation it is common to see hemodynamic instability due to massive blood loss and clamping of the major vessels. As a result invasive monitoring via a pulmonary catheter is usually done to continuously monitor the CO and SVR. However, because of its invasiveness, complications such as pulmonary artery rupture and ventricular arrhythmia can occur.

Clearsight (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) is a noninvasive technique using a finger cuff to measure not only blood pressure but also CO and cardiac index (CI).

There have been previous reports on the correlation of this noninvasive method in other patient populations but no studies have been done in liver recipients. Also no studies have been done comparing SVR.

Patients presenting for living donor liver transplantation are anesthetized according to the SNUH protocol. Right radial and femoral arterial lines are placed. A central catheter is placed in the right jugular vein and a pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz CCOmbo CCO/SvO2™; Edward Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA, USA) is placed. This is connected to the Vigilance™ hemodynamic monitor (Edwards Lifesciences) and central venous pressure (CVP), CO, CI are monitored and SVR is calculated by the following equation: SVR=(Mean arterial pressure-CVP)*80/CO. The Clearsight system is connected after the finger cuff is placed on the middle finger of the right hand. Blood pressure, CO, CI are measured and SVR is calculated.

The variables are compared in the following phases:

Phase 1 (preanhepatic1): induction complete (baseline) Phase 2 (preanhepatic2): induction - recipient hepatectomy Phase 3 (anhepatic1): recipient hepatectomy - Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) clamping Phase 4 (anhepatic2): IVC clamping - reperfusion Phase 5 (neohepatic1 [reperfusion]) Reperfusion - 5 minutes postreperfusion Phase 6 (neohepatic2): 20 minutes after reperfusion Phase 7 (neohepatic3): 1 hour after reperfusion

The investigators hypothesize that the noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring method by the Clearsight will be able to replace the invasive monitoring by the pulmonary artery catheter.

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

  • Clearsight (finger cuff)Diagnostic test

    Clearsight (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA), a noninvasive technique, uses a finger cuff to measure blood pressure, cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is calculated by the following equation: SVR=(Mean arterial pressure-Central venous pressure)*80/CO.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Seong Mi Yang (+82-10-7300-6282, seongmi.yang@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

comparison of invasive and non-invasive measurement for cardiac index (time frame: Phase 1 (preanhepatic1): completion of the anesthetic induction (baseline)). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04909645, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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.
