Trial summary

Fluid challenge is frequently used in fluid management of critically ill patients. Assessing whether there is a preload reserve that can be used to increase the stroke volume by delivering a small amount of fluid in a short period of time. Optimization of fluid therapy is very important in intensive care patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Intracranial Pressure Change by Measuring Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter During Fluid Challenge

Fluid challenge is frequently used in fluid management of critically ill patients. Assessing whether there is a preload reserve that can be used to increase the stroke volume by delivering a small amount of fluid in a short period of time. Optimization of fluid therapy is very important in intensive care patients. Inappropriate fluid therapy can cause significant morbidity and even mortality. Increased intracranial pressure is one of these important complications. In the present study, we planned to evaluate the effect of a fluid challenge on intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD).

Read the detailed description

The fluid challenge is a simple volume resuscitation evaluation method that provides an indication of the patient's likelihood of benefiting from an increase in the intravenous fluid volume. Both the fluid challenge and fluid responsiveness are evaluated by interpreting the change in hemodynamic parameters after 500 mL of crystalloid (or 250 mL of colloid) solution is infused over 10-15 min. This is done in an attempt to regulate the fluid therapy of hemodynamically unstable patients in order to prevent fluid overload. In the present study, we aim to investigate the effect of the fluid challenge maneuver on intracranial pressure in ICU patients with hemodynamic instability through measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasonography.

Patients in the intensive care unit undergoing a fluid challenge were included in this prospective observational study. A fluid challenge is defined as a 500 mL crystalloid infusion administered over 10 min, and fluid responsiveness is defined as a subsequent increase in stroke volume of at least 15%. The ONSD and hemodynamic variables will be measured by ultrasonography before (T0), at the end (T1), and 30 min after the fluid challenge (T2). The primary outcome of the study is the change in intracranial pressure associated with the fluid challenge, and the secondary outcome is the relationship between fluid responsiveness and the change in ONSD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter in people with Fluid Challenge and Increased Intracranial Pressure, run by Ondokuz Mayıs 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 6 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?

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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

The change in intracranial pressure associated with the fluid challenge (time frame: Before, at the end, and 30 min after the fluid challenge.). 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 NCT04928040, which also lists 5 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.

How often is this information updated?
