Trial summary

Cardiac output measurement is one of the most frequently used haemodynamic parameter used for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In pediatric ICU, it is often measured with echocardiography that is a non-invasive method but is operator dependant and can't provide continuous monitoring. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Cardiac Output Measurement in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit by Metabolic Monitor (Fick Method) : Prospective Feasibility Study

Cardiac output measurement is one of the most frequently used haemodynamic parameter used for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In pediatric ICU, it is often measured with echocardiography that is a non-invasive method but is operator dependant and can't provide continuous monitoring.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility of cardiac output measurement by Fick's method, non-invasive and allowing continuous monitoring, in comparison to echocardiography in pediatric intensive care unit.

Being tested
Fick's method, Echocardiography
Keywords

Receives: Diagnostic Test: Fick's method; Diagnostic Test: Echocardiography

What is being measured

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

  1. Intra-class correlation (or concordance) between the measurement of cardiac output (in ml/min) by Fick's method and by echocardiography

    Measured: Up to day 3

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Variations of cardiac output before and after Leg Raise Test

    Measured: Up to day 3

  2. Adverse events on the day of catheterization

    Complications possibly due to Fick's method on the day of catheterization : pneumothorax, bleeding, rhythm disorder, gas embolism, failure to place, other

    Measured: Up to 21 days

  3. Adverse events on the day of catheter removal

    Complications possibly due to Fick's method on the day of catheter removal : catheter thrombosis, catheter infection, non-functional oximetry catheter

    Measured: Up to 21 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fick's method and Echocardiography in people with Intensive Care Units, Pediatric, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 26 Aug 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Arthur GAVOTTO, PH-U (+334.67.33.66.09, a-gavotto@chu-montpellier.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intra-class correlation (or concordance) between the measurement of cardiac output (in ml/min) by Fick's method and by echocardiography (time frame: Up to day 3). 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 26 Aug 2024.
