About this study

Official title: Core Temperature Measurement in Therapeutic Hypothermia: Tympanic Membrane, Bladder and Rectal Versus Pulmonary Artery Methods

The purpose of this study is to determine that the measurements of rectal and bladder temperature are correctly consistent with core temperature by using the pulmonary artery catheter during therapeutic hypothermia; rapid cooling, maintenance, and slow rewarming phase.

Read the detailed description

The guidelines of therapeutic hypothermia(TH)are rapid cooling, from normothermia to mild hypothermia(32~34 degree), maintenance, and slow rewarming phase. If core temperature maintained below 32 degree during TH, som complications will be developed, such as arrythmia, hypotension, cold diuresis, coagulopathy, and so on. Therefore correct measurement of core temperature during TH is very important process for successful post cardiac arrest care. we will know that rectal or bladder temperature are really reflect the core temperature during TH for post cardiac arrest care, especially rapid cooling phase, maintenance phase, and slow rewarming phase, respectively.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 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 21 Jul 2015. 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 South Korea. 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?

Difference of core temperature between rectum, bladder, esophagus and pulmonary artery (time frame: During 24 hour). 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 21 Jul 2015.
