About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Assess the Ability of Non-invasive Bio-impedance Cardiac Monitoring to Detect and Trend Hemodynamic Variables During Dexmedetomidine (DEX) Sedation in Children for Radiology Procedures

The aim of the study is to investigate the use of a new FDA-approved non-invasive bio-impedance cardiac monitor, ICON, to detect hemodynamic effects during sedation in children undergoing radiology procedures. The purpose of the study is to determine the ability of the ICON monitor to identify the anticipated and documented hemodynamic changes in children which occur in response to Dexmedetomidine sedation. The investigators postulate that if the ICON device can trend hemodynamic changes, if any, during dexmedetomidine (DEX) sedation in children the investigators can delineate changes in cardiac output, stroke volume, and systemic vascular resistance associated with observed changes in heart rate and blood pressure.

Children sedated by DEXAll pediatric patients (1 month to 18 years of age) eligible for Radiology Sedation Service for CT scan and Nuclear Medicine Scan procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary aim is to ascertain if a decrease in heart rate (HR) with intravenous (IV) DEX is associated with a change in trend of cardiac output (CO) as measured by the ICON device.

    Measured: pre-, during, and post sedation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To determine the cardiac parameters provided by the ICON device during changes in blood pressure.

    Measured: pre-, during and post sedation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Output and Sedation, run by Boston Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 10 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 Jan 2017. 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 United States. 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 primary aim is to ascertain if a decrease in heart rate (HR) with intravenous (IV) DEX is associated with a change in trend of cardiac output (CO) as measured by the ICON device. (time frame: pre-, during, and post sedation). 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 NCT01001533, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jan 2017.
