About this study

Official title: An Outcomes Comparison of ACCM/PALS Guidelines For Pediatric Septic Shock With and Without Central Venous Oxygen Saturation Monitoring

The purpose of this study was to compare ACCM/PALS guidelines performed with and without central venous oxygen saturation monitoring on the morbidity and mortality rate of children with severe sepsis and septic shock.

Read the detailed description

Background: ACCM/PALS guidelines addresses early correction of pediatric septic shock using physical examination supplemented by indirect measures of cardiac output such as central venous or superior vena cava oxygen saturation (ScvO2>70%) in a goal directed approach. However, these endpoints are based on unsupported evidence. The purpose of this study was to compare ACCM/PALS guidelines performed with and without ScvO2 on the morbidity and mortality rate of children with severe sepsis and septic shock.

Methods: Children and adolescents with severe sepsis or fluid-refractory septic shock were recruited at two university-affiliated hospitals and randomly assigned to ACCM/PALS without, or with an ScvO2 goal directed (goal ScvO2 > 70%) resuscitation. Twenty-eight day mortality is the primary end point.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Central venous oxygen saturation continuous monitoring in people with Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock, run by University of Sao Paulo at 2 sites in Brazil.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Brazil. 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?

28-day mortality. 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 NCT00407823, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Dec 2006.
