About this study

Official title: Correlation of Internal Jugular and Inferior Vena Cava Diameter Variation on Bedside Ultrasound With Invasive Right Heart Catheterization

The study aims to standardize patient positioning during bedside ultrasound assessment of internal jugular vein (IJV) and correlate the results with invasive hemodynamics obtained immediately after. The study hypothesizes that the respiratory variation in the size of IJV, as estimated through ultrasound at bedside, is an accurate estimation of the patient's actual right atrial pressure estimated through right heart catheterization.

What participants receive

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

  • Ultrasound imagingDevice

    Patients scheduled to undergo right heart catheterization (RHC) as their standard of care will be included in the study.

    The patient will be positioned supine at 0 degrees with normal restful breathing and patient looking straight up. After the right sternocleidomastoid muscle is identified, internal jugular vein (IJV) will be imaged at the apex of the triangle formed by the sternal and clavicular heads of the muscle. Similarly, the inferior vena cava (IVC) will be imaged at the caudal end of the sternum. The diameters of both the veins will be noted during normal respiration. The patients will then be asked to sniff and collapsibility of the veins will be noted. No pressure will be applied on the neck. The anticipated duration for image acquisition is between 5 to 10 minutes.

    The patients will undergo the scheduled RHC within 1 hour as scheduled.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cross-sectional diameters of the internal jugular vein (IJV)

    The respiratory variation percentage will assessed using M-mode of the ultrasound while the patient is breathing normally. The maximum and minimum anteroposterior diameter will be noted using M-mode (in mm).

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Cross-sectional diameters of the internal jugular vein (IJV)

    Diameter variation index will be calculated as: (maximum diameter - minimum diameter)/ body surface area.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. Sniff collapsibility of IJV

    Complete collapse (0cm) of the anteroposterior diameter of IJV on sniff maneuver by the patient, as assessed by M-mode on the ultrasound.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  4. Cross-sectional diameters of the inferior vena cava (IVC)

    Maximum diameter - noted using M-mode (in mm) of the ultrasound machine.

    Measured: 5 minutes

  5. Cross-sectional diameters of the inferior vena cava (IVC)

    Respiratory variation - assessed using M-mode of the ultrasound while the patient is breathing normally. This will be calculated as (maximum diameter - minimum diameter)/maximum diameter and expressed as a percentage. The maximum and minimum diameters will be noted using M-mode (in mm).

    Measured: 5 minutes

  6. Cross-sectional diameters of the inferior vena cava (IVC)

    Sniff collapsibility - Complete collapse (0cm) of the cross sectional diameter of IVC on sniff maneuver by the patient, as assessed by M-mode of the ultrasound.

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Catheterization, run by Gaurang Vaidya at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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 14 Jul 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Cross-sectional diameters of the internal jugular vein (IJV) (time frame: 5 minutes). The study lists 6 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 NCT05159063, 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 14 Jul 2023.
