About this study

Official title: Effect of Carotid Corrected Flow Time Combined With Perioperative Fluid Therapy on Preventing Hypotension After General Anesthesia Induction in Elderly Patients

The number of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery has been growing in recent years. Elderly patients often have a variety of underlying diseases, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, etc., which increase the risk. When the elderly receive general anesthesia, hypotension often occurs after anesthesia induction. Once hypotension occurs, it may lead to myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, stroke and other serious complications. Therefore, in clinical anesthesia, a simple, quick and accurate prediction method is needed to evaluate and predict the risk of hypotension in elderly patients after induction, so that appropriate intervention measures can be taken in advance to reduce the incidence of hypotension in elderly patients after induction, thus reducing the occurrence of related complications and ensuring the safety of anesthesia and surgery.Carotid Artery Corrected Flow Time(FTc) is a recently developed volumetric predictor, which refers to the time between the the onset of systolic flow until the closure of the aortic valve. It is related to cardiac preload and can reflect cardiac output to a certain extent. It is considered as a reliable indicator for evaluating volume status and volumetric reactivity. Therefore, this study assessed the effect of FTc combined with perioperative fluid therapy on preventing hypotension after general anesthesia induction in elderly patients.

Being tested
ultrasonographic measurement of carotid artery corrected flow time (FTc)

What participants receive

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

  • ultrasonographic measurement of carotid artery corrected flow time (FTc)Procedure or surgery

    Ultrasonic measurement of carotid corrected blood flow time: 1. Patient's head turned to the left 30°. Firstly, the 6.0 ~ 13.0MHz linear probe was placed longitudinally on the maternal neck, and the probe marker was oriented towards the maternal head. Real-time B-ultrasound images of the long axis of the right common carotid artery were obtained from the lower margin of the thyroid cartilage. Then, the probe was placed in the center of the carotid lumen, about 2cm from the bifurcation of the carotid artery, to obtain the arterial pulse Doppler flow spectrum and store the carotid flow waveform. 2. Using the caliper function of the ultrasonic instrument, carotid flow time (FT) was obtained by measuring the interval between the systolic ascending stage and the restroke notch. Wodey (W) formula to calculate FTc. FTc= FT+[1.29× (HR-60)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of General Anesthesia Induction for Elective Surgery, run by Fujian Medical University Union 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 1 inclusion and 10 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 Nov 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 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?

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?

Carotid artery corrected flow time (FTc) (time frame: 5 minutes before induction of general anesthesia). 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 NCT05628051, 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 1 Nov 2023.
