Trial summary

Currently, the gold standard method to estimate CO in patients with PAH or RV dysfunction is pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), however, the invasiveness and complexity of PAC has limited its usefulness in many clinical scenarios. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Consistency of Cardiac Output Measured by Electrical Cardiometry and Pulmonary Artery Catheter in Cardiac Surgery Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension or Right Heart Dysfunction

Currently, the gold standard method to estimate CO in patients with PAH or RV dysfunction is pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), however, the invasiveness and complexity of PAC has limited its usefulness in many clinical scenarios. By measuring the thoracic electrical bioimpedance, electrical cardiometry (EC) technique has been reported to noninvasively estimate cardiac output (CO) and other parameters related to cardiac contractility and fluid status in various cardiovascular disorders. However, in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and/or right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, few study has been reported. The aim of this study is to evaluate the agreement between CO measured by PAC as the referenced method and CO measured by EC technique in patients with PAH and/or RV dysfunction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing passive leg raising, dobutamine test and inhaled nitric oxide in people with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Right Ventricular Dysfunction, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2022. 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 China. 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 Zhe Luo, PhD (02164041990 ext. 3659, luo.zhe@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cardiac output by pulmonary artery catheter (time frame: 5minutes after the patients was sedated). The study lists 12 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 20 Oct 2022.
