About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Fluid Resuscitation in Shocked Patients by Electrical Cardiometry in Comparison to Transthoracic Echocardiography

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of electrical cardiometry (EC) for the noninvasive determination of fluid responsiveness in critically ill shocked patients and agreement of EC compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)

Read the detailed description

Electrical cardiometry (EC), based on thoracic electrical bioimpedance, can measure SV continuously and non-invasively. The EC"s working principle of estimation of SV is to utilize changes in thoracic electrical impedance, which is mainly influenced by erythrocyte orientation and peak flow velocity in the ascending aorta throughout the cardiac cycle.

Electrical cardiometry (EC) has been validated to monitor SV and other hemodynamic parameters non-invasively compared to different techniques such as thermodilution technique, transesophageal Doppler echocardiography and cardiac catheterization including critically ill patients, intra-operative settings, in pregnant women, in children with congenital heart diseases, even in obese children

What participants receive

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

  • Assessment of fluid responsiveness by electrical cardiometryDevice

    Electrical cardiometry (EC) measurements: by the ICON_ hemodynamic monitor (ICON Cardiotropic, Inc., La Jolla, CA 92307; Osyka Medical GmbH, Berlin, and Germany, model C3).

    Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) measurements will be performed equipped with echo probe. SV of the left ventricle will be calculated using LVOT diameter (D) just below the aortic valve from parasternal long-axis view and VTI measured in LVOT from apical 5 chamber view (by pulsed wave Doppler).

Study groups in NCT06075407
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Fluid responderAll patients will undergo a volume expansion test or fluid challenge according to standard protocol. The volume expansion test will be performed with an intravenous infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride (500mL) within 15 minutes. The patient becomes a fluid responder if SV increases by > 10% after the fluid challenge.
Receives: Device: Assessment of fluid responsiveness by electrical cardiometry
Fluid non-responderAll patients will undergo a volume expansion test or fluid challenge according to standard protocol. The volume expansion test will be performed with an intravenous infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride (500mL) within 15 minutes. The patient becomes a fluid responder if SV increases by > 10% after the fluid challenge (21). If the patient becomes a fluid non-responder, vasopressor infusion or inotrope will start.
Receives: Device: Assessment of fluid responsiveness by electrical cardiometry

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of Electrical cardiometry (EC) to predict fluid responsiveness

    Electrical cardiometry will be done be done immediately before fluid resuscitation and every 30 min till mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 65 mmHg

    Measured: Intraoperative and every 30 minutes till MAP>65mmHg

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Agreement of Electrical cardiometry(EC) with Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in the change of stroke volume before and after fluid challenge

    Fluid resuscitation will be done by intravenous infusion of lactated ringer guided by fluid responsiveness (fluid responder if SV increases by > 10% after the fluid challenge. If the patient becomes fluid non-responder, vasopressor infusion or inotrope will start.

    The end of the study is when mean arterial pressure (MAP) > 65 mmHg (either by fluid or both fluid and vasopressor).

    Measured: Intraoperatively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fluid Resuscitation and Electrical Cardiometry, run by Al-Azhar University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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 23 Oct 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 Egypt. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy of Electrical cardiometry (EC) to predict fluid responsiveness (time frame: Intraoperative and every 30 minutes till MAP>65mmHg). 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 23 Oct 2023.
