About this study

Official title: Use of PiCCO System in Critically Ill Patients With Septic Shock and Acute Respiratory

PiCCO has been widely used in critical care settings for several decades. Together with pulmonary artery catheter, it is regarded as the important tool for guiding fluid management in patients with shock or acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, its effects on patients' outcome remain untested. The investigators study is a pilot study that is designed to test whether the use of PiCCO will improve patients' outcome, as compared to those without PiCCO monitoring.

Read the detailed description

PiCCO comprises techniques of pulse contour analysis and transpulmonary thermodilution, and can provide important information on hemodynamics and pulmonary functions. It has been widely used in critical care settings for several decades. Together with pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), it is regarded as the important tool for guiding fluid management in patients with shock or acute respiratory distress syndrome. During last two decades, many well designed clinical trials have been conducted to see whether the use of PAC would benefit patient outcome. The result consistently showed that PAC added no benefit in terms of mortality, ICU length of stay, organ failure free survival days, and the length of mechanical ventilation. Since PiCCO is relatively new to PAC, and its effects on patients' outcome remain untested. The investigators study is a pilot study that is designed to test whether the use of PiCCO will improve patients' outcome, as compared to those without PiCCO monitoring.

What is being measured

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

  1. 30 day mortality

    death from any cause before day 30

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. 14 day mortality

    patients were followed up for 14 days

    Measured: 14 days

  2. ICU length of stay

    the time from ICU admission to ICU discharge or death

    Measured: up to 30 days

  3. days on mechanical ventilation

    days during which the patients are on mechnical ventilation: The criteria for termination of mechanical ventilation: a cooperative patient, recovery from primary disease, hemodynamically stable, adequate and strong cough reflex, positive end-expiratory pressure <5 cmH2O, pressure support <10 cmH2O and the spontaneous breathing trial is successfully passed.

    Measured: up to 30 days

  4. days of vasoactive agents support

    days during which vasoactive agents are used: The sum of the number of days with one or more vasoactive agents to maintain a mean arterial pressure >60 mmHg

    Measured: up to 30 days

  5. ICU free survival days during 30-day period

    ICU free survival days during 30-day period

    Measured: 30 days

  6. mechanical ventilation free survival days during 30-day period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing PiCCO monitoring (PULSION) and central venous catheter in people with Septic Shock and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Jinhua Central Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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 10 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 4 May 2015. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

30 day mortality (time frame: 30 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 NCT01526382, 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 4 May 2015.
