Trial summary

Clinical and biological assessments of volemia are challenging in older patients as they are more likely to present non-typical signs. Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) using heart and lung exploration is a relevant tool to assess volemia in adults with little data in older adults. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effective Volemia in Older Adults With Orthostatic Hypotension, Feasibility Study

Clinical and biological assessments of volemia are challenging in older patients as they are more likely to present non-typical signs. Point of care ultrasonography (POCUS) using heart and lung exploration is a relevant tool to assess volemia in adults with little data in older adults.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate feasibility of positional POCUS in aging patients.

The secondary objectives are to assess the variability of measurements between decubitus and sitting position.

Read the detailed description

This is a monocentric study. Twenty patients will be enrolled, aged of 70 years and older. POCUS parameters, duration of procedure and measurements will be recorded for each patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of recording during positional echography

    Feasibility of positional echography assessed by

    • Duration of recording (minutes)

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Feasibility of positional echography

    Feasibility of positional echography assessed by

    • Number of good quality imaging (out of 5 pre specified views : parasternal long axis view, parasternal short axis view, apical views 4 and 5 chamber, subxiphoid view, inferior vena cava view)

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Cardiac ultra sound parameters: left ventricle diastolic diameter

    • Left ventricle diastolic diameter mm/m2

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Cardiac ultra sound parameters: left ventricle ejection fraction

    • Left ventricle ejection fraction (%)

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Cardiac ultra sound parameters: E and A waves velocity

    • E and A waves velocity (cm/sec) (mitral Doppler)

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Cardiac ultra sound parameters: Inferior vena cava size and compliance

    • Inferior vena cava size (mm) and compliance (%)

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Cardiac ultra sound parameters: left atrial size

    • Left atrial size (cm2)

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orthostatic Hypotension, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 4 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 1 Feb 2024. 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 France. 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?

Duration of recording during positional echography (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Feb 2024.
