About this study

Official title: INTRAOPERATIVE HEMODYNAMIC MANAGEMENT IN ABDOMINAL AORTIC SURGERY GUIDED BY HYPOTENSION PREDICTION INDEX (HPI) - HEMAS Trial

This trial investigates the ability of our istitutional algorithm in maintaining a safe hemodynamics during abdominal aorta open surgery, in terms of limitation of intraoperative hypotension incidence

Read the detailed description

The present trial includes patients submitted to abdominal aorta open surgery. This type of procedure is very challenging for the hemodynamic management because of the operation per se (during which the surgeon clamp and unclamp the aorta with very significant hemodynamic variations) and because of the altered tone of the vessels due to the general vascular disease such a type of patients is suffering from.

The aim of this study is to verify if the incidence of intraoperative hypotension in terms of severity, lasting and number of episodes, may be reduced by the application of a protocol of hemodynamic management.

Primary endpoint: Global time spent in hypotension <10%.

Secondary Endpoints:

  1. Time Weighted Average (TWA) of Area Under the Threshold <0.4 mmHg
  2. Incidence of hypotensive events/patient < 8 (including the expected hypotensive events due to the aortic clamping and unclamping)
Being tested
Intraoperative fluids and vasoactive drugs management protocol

    Limitation of hypotensive events during open surgery for abdominal aorta repair

What is being measured

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

  1. Global time spent in hypotension <10%

    Hypotension=mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg for at least 1 minute

    Measured: Intraoperative period

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time Weighted Average (TWA) of Area Under the Threshold <0.4 mmHg

    The severity of hypotension during the whole intraoperative surgery

    Measured: Intraoperative period

  2. Incidence of hypotensive events/patient < 8

    including the expected hypotensive events due to the aortic clamping and unclamping

    Measured: Intraoperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamic Instability, run by Humanitas Clinical and Research Center at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 13 Mar 2025. 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 Italy. 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?

Global time spent in hypotension <10% (time frame: Intraoperative period). 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 NCT05478564, 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 13 Mar 2025.
