Trial summary

We would like to investigate the natural variation in the strokevolume of the heart. At the same time we would like to find out the minimal number of heart cycles necessary to discover a 10% increase in strokevolume, after a fluid bolus of 200ml Voluven, when using Esophageal Doppler.

About this study

Official title: Study of the Natural Variation in Strokevolume, and Investigation in the Number of Cycles Necessary to Find a 10% Strokevolume Variation Using Esophageal Doppler

We would like to investigate the natural variation in the strokevolume of the heart. At the same time we would like to find out the minimal number of heart cycles necessary to discover a 10% increase in strokevolume, after a fluid bolus of 200ml Voluven, when using Esophageal Doppler.

Read the detailed description

We would like to investigate the natural variation in the strokevolume(SV) of the heart. At the same time we would like to find out the minimal number of heart cycles necessary to discover a 10% increase in SV, after a fluid bolus of 200ml Voluven, when using Esophageal Doppler.

Also we will compare the variation in SV both before and after the patients have been fluid optimized, using an algorithm of 10% increase in SV in order to receive another fluid bolus. The equipment used, will be the CardioQ from Deltex medical.

Being tested
Esophagus Doppler monitoring, Fluid optimization

What participants receive

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

  • Esophagus Doppler monitoringProcedure or surgery

  • Fluid optimizationProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Strokevolume variation before fluid optimization

  2. Strokevolume variation after fluid optimization

  3. Number of cycles needed in order to detect a 10% strokevolume increase after fluid bolus of 200ml Voluven.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke Volume Variation, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 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 15 Oct 2007. 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 Denmark. 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?

Strokevolume variation before fluid optimization. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Oct 2007.
