About this study

Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is of primary importance in high-risk surgery and critically ill patients.

Intermittent thermodilution (ThD) by means of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) was invasiveness, the occurrence of complications, and inability to estimate CO on a beat-by-beat basis may explain the reduction in routine use. Echocardiography is now widely used. However, a poor acoustic window, inaccurate diameter calculations, and difficulty maintaining the angle of insonation and blood flow within the recommended values may lead to inaccuracy in CO estimation.Pulse contour methods (PCMs) are commonly used as they seem to fulfill most of the characteristics of an "ideal" hemodynamic monitoring system.

Mostcare can continuously and real-time monitor important circulatory indicators such as cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance index (SVRI), cardiovascular impedance (Ztot), cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE), and maximum pressure gradient (dp/dt MAX). It may help identify the causes of difficulty in weaning patients from ventilators after cardiac surgery.

Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is of primary importance in high-risk surgery and critically ill patients.

Intermittent thermodilution (ThD) by means of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) has been used as the reference method and to validate alternative monitoring systems. Its invasiveness, the occurrence of complications, and inability to estimate CO on a beat-by-beat basis may explain the reduction in routine use.

Echocardiography is now widely used in ICUs for the complete assessment of heart function, volume status, and CO measurement. Because it has been well accepted as a first-line diagnostic tool for circulatory failure, it has been proposed as an alternative for ThD to evaluate CO in selected patient populations . A poor acoustic window, inaccurate diameter calculations, and difficulty maintaining the angle of insonation and blood flow within the recommended values may lead to inaccuracy in CO estimation.Finally, training is of major importance.

Pulse contour methods (PCMs) are commonly used in operating rooms or ICUs as they seem to fulfill most of the characteristics of an "ideal" hemodynamic monitoring system.

Mostcare can continuously and real-time monitor important circulatory indicators such as cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance index (SVRI), cardiovascular impedance (Ztot), cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE), and maximum pressure gradient (dp/dt MAX). It may help identify the causes of difficulty in weaning patients from ventilators after cardiac surgery.

This is a prospective observational study. Patients admitted to the ICU after cardiac surgery and mechanically ventilated for more than 24 hours were monitored for mostcare before attempting to withdraw from the ventilator, and assessment of systemic circulation and cardiac ultrasound was completed.

Patients were given an spontaneous breathing test(SBT) off the ventilator. Mostcare parameters were also recorded. If the SBT experiment was successful the endotracheal tube was removed, if it failed then mostcare monitoring and assessment of circulation and ultrasound were performed again after resumption of mechanical ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Cardiac Cycle Efficiency (CCE)(unit)

    The Cardiac Cycle Efficiency (CCE) parameter provided by Mostcare is a comprehensive index of cardiac function that takes into account the mechanical and geometric properties of the heart. It integrates the changes in pressure and volume throughout the cardiac cycle to provide a single value that reflects the heart's efficiency.

    CCE is computed as CCE= Wsys/Wbeat*K(t), where Wsys is the power function from the systolic pressure wave, Wbeat is the power function from the entire cardiac cycle pressure wave, and K(t) is the ratio of mean pressure expected over mean pressure measured.

    Measured: Day1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post-cardiac Surgery and Ventilator Weaning, run by Peking Union Medical College 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 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 14 Jan 2025. 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?

The Cardiac Cycle Efficiency (CCE)(unit) (time frame: Day1). 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 14 Jan 2025.
