About this study

Official title: Multi-center, Prospective, Randomized Outcome Study Comparing Continuous Cardiac Index Trending Via a Radial Arterial Line Versus Standard Care in General Surgical Patients

This is a multi-Center, prospective, randomized Outcome Study comparing continuous cardiac index trending via a radial arterial line versus standard care in general surgical patients

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-Center, prospective, randomized Outcome Study comparing continuous cardiac index trending via a radial arterial line versus standard care in general surgical patients Clinical outcome of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery is explored in two different groups. In one group hemodynamic management is guided by the internal standard of the anesthesiological department. In the other group fluid management is goal directed by by continuous cardiac index trending via a radial arterial line and pulse pressure variation.

Being tested
measurement of cardiac output and pulse pressure variation

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative Complications

    Categories of postoperative complications: Infection (respiratory, abdominal, UTI, wound), Respiratory (prolonged need for ventilation), Cardiovascular (edema, arrythmia, hypotension, AMI, stroke), Abdominal (constipation), Renal (urine output <500ml/d, ARF)

    Measured: Participants will be followed from end of surgery for the duration of stay in the recovery room, for the duration of the complete hospital stay, an expected average of ten 10 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Hospital Stay

    length of stay in the postoperative care unit, length of hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing measurement of cardiac output and pulse pressure variation in people with Reduction of Length of Hospitality Stay, Reduction of Perioperative Complications, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 Feb 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Feb 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Postoperative Complications (time frame: Participants will be followed from end of surgery for the duration of stay in the recovery room, for the duration of the complete hospital stay, an expected average of ten 10 days). 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 NCT01401283, 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 Feb 2016.
