About this study

Official title: PCO2 Gab as a Marker of Tissue Adequacy of Cardiac Output in Sever Shock State, Compared to Other Tissue Perfusion Indicators.

  1. To assess validity of of central and pulmonary veno - arterial CO2 gradient to predict fluid responsiveness and to guide fluid management and determine the cut off point to continue or stop resuscitation.
  2. comparison between PCO2 gab and left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral to determine whether to continue or stop resuscitation and whether PCO2 gab is a surrogate of cardiac output or not.
Read the detailed description

Assessing the adequacy of oxygen delivery with oxygen requirements is one of the key-goal of hemodynamic resuscitation. Clinical examination, lactate and central or mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2 an ScvO2 respectively) all have their limitations (Gavelli et al., 2019). The veno- arterial difference in CO2 tension (delta CO2 or PCO2 gap) is not indicator of anaerobic metabolism since it is influenced by the oxygen consumption. By contrast, it reliably indicates whether blood flow to remove is sufficient to carry CO2 from prepheral tissues to the lung in view of its clearance: it, thus, reflects the adequacy of cardiac output with the metabolic condition (valley et al., 2013). The gap is a marker of adequacy of venous blood flow to remove CO2 produced rather than a marker of tissue hypoxia (Vallet et al., 2013).

The gab can be calculated from simultaneous sampling of central venous blood from a central vein catheter and arterial blood.

Determining the delta PCO2 during resuscitation of septic shock Patients might be useful when deciding when to continue resuscitation despite a central venous oxygen saturation>70% associated with elevated blood lactate levels. because a high blood lactate level is not a discriminatory factor in determining the source of that stress, an increased delta PCO2 (>6 mmHg) could be used to identify Patients who still remain inadequately resuscitated.

Fluid responsiveness in shocked patients is conventionally defined as an increase of at least 10% to 15% in stroke volume in response to a fluid challenge. Assessment of response to a fluid challenge can be guided with echocardiography. It is achieved by measuring left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT VI) immediately before and after fluid challenge (miller et al; 2016).

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement of heamodynamic state, need of fluid resuscitation and inotropes.

    Assessing need of fluid resuscitation and need of inotropes to continue resuscitation to maintain stable heamodynamic status.

    Measured: January 2023 to January 2024

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Duration of hospital stay, time to control various clinical and laboratory abnormalities (BP, PP, RR, lactate, renal chemistry) and development of complications as; pulmonary edema and use of mechanical ventilation.

    Use of delta PCO2 in assessing of hemodynamic stability to shortcut hospital stay, time to control clinical and laboratory abnormalities and decrease the possibility of development of complications as pulmonary edema and use of mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: January 2023 to January 2024

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shock, run by Assiut University.

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 2 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 11 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Manal Abdelghany (01125767752, manalmlmohamed145@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improvement of heamodynamic state, need of fluid resuscitation and inotropes. (time frame: January 2023 to January 2024). 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 NCT05679778, 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 11 Jan 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
