About this study

Objective:

The objective of this study is to describe the physiology of the cerebral autoregulation over time during extreme low blood pressures (BP).

Study design:

This is a retrospective data collection study. During the Personalized External Aortic Root Support (PEARS) procedure extreme low blood pressures < 65 mmHg are medically induced. Hemodynamic and neurophysiologic data is for clinic purposes stored.

Study population:

All patients requiring a PEARS study at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers, location Amsterdam Medical Center (AMC).

Investigation:

Cerebral parameters during sustained low blood pressures are monitored with the transcranial doppler (TCD) for cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for cerebral tissue oxygenation (rS02) and the electroencephalography (EEG) for the cerebral activity. Blood pressure waveforms are retrieved from an invasive arterial catheter. Besides, blood gasses during the low blood pressures and cardiac output, measured with a Schwan Ganz catheter are collected as well as electronic health records (EHR) (like age, gender and weight). All these devices are implemented as stated in the clinic protocol.

Main study parameters/endpoints:

The investigators will describe the cerebral autoregulation (CA) in several ways to retrieve a cut-off or lower limit of the CA where the regulation is either intact or impaired. First the static CA will be created with the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and mean cerebral blood flow (CBFm), second, the CA will be described with the mean flow velocity index (Mx, a method which calculates the correlation between the MAP and CBFm), COX (correlation between MAP and rS02) and with data of the EEG.

After retrieval of the cut off or lower limit, the CA below this point will be described over time to check for differences.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PEARS patientsPatients who underwent the personalized external aortic root support procedure at the AMC. Cerebral monitoring measurements (NIRS, EEG, TCD and blood pressure) are used for the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cerebral autoregulation

    A mechanism in the brain influenced by the cerebral blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity

    Measured: During the entire operation, about 4 hours.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Autoregulation, run by Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Nicholaas H. Sperna Weiland, MD PhD (0031205669111, n.h.spernaweiland@amsterdamumc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cerebral autoregulation (time frame: During the entire operation, about 4 hours.). 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 27 Aug 2021.
