About this study

Official title: End-expiratory Occlusion Test and Prediction of Preload Dependence: Echocardiographic and Hemodynamic Study in the ICU.

Three sets of measurements of hemodynamic parameters and sub-aortic VTI were performed: before and at the end of 15 seconds end-expiratory occlusion and after 250 mL saline administration over 10 minutes. Patients were considered responders to fluid loading after an increase in sub-aortic VTI of more than 10% following a volume expansion. SPSS was used for statistic study. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. The investigators performed univariate and then multivariate analysis.

Read the detailed description

The patients included were in the supine position in a prone position at 30°. They had continuous monitoring by: electrocardioscopy; pulse oximetry and invasive blood pressure. Diuresis was monitored hourly.

A venous access to the superior vena cava territory (central venous catheter) was set up.

The patients were sedated with a Ramsay score > 4 and ventilated in controlled assisted mode.

The sub-aortic TVI (in cm) was measured in an apical 5-chamber section by pulsed Doppler using a 1-5 MHz ultrasound probe (M-Turbo sonosite). Three sets of measurements of hemodynamic parameters and sub-aortic VTI were performed: before and at the end of 15 seconds end-expiratory occlusion and after 250 mL saline administration over 10 minutes. At each point, the investigators noted the hemodynamic, ultrasound and biological parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intensive Care Units and Ultrasonography, run by Mongi Slim Hospital at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 2 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 25 Sep 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 Tunisia. 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?

an increase in sub-aortic VTI of more than 10% (time frame: before and 10 minutes after 250 mL saline administration). 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 25 Sep 2023.
