About this study

Official title: Measurement of Cardiac Output and Intravascular Volume Status in Critically Ill Children Using an Ultrasound Dilution Method (COstatus)

Assessment and monitoring of cardiac function in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is an integral part of hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients whether it is done directly or indirectly. Measurement of cardiac output (CO) can specifically guide therapies to support the cardiovascular system in critically ill children with multi organ dysfunction. Because of the side effects involved in measuring cardiac output directly, intensive monitoring of patients is currently limited to an integrated assessment of tissue perfusion, oxygen delivery and cellular health both at regional and global levels. Currently available methods of measuring CO have their limitations and complications, and are not used routinely for bedside monitoring. Therefore, the investigators propose to use a newly developed method, termed COstatus for the monitoring of CO in patients admitted to PICU.

Intensive Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparing CO and other clinical markers in Pediatric ICU

    The objective of this study is to see if the CO measurements obtained with COstatus show a linear correlation with all other indirect and invasive methods currently used to measure CO (within acceptable range) and with the CO measured by thermodilution in the cardiac catheterization lab.

    Measured: During patients stay in ICU with insitu catheter, expected average 3-4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intensive Care, run by Transonic Systems Inc. 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 1 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 27 May 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 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?

Comparing CO and other clinical markers in Pediatric ICU (time frame: During patients stay in ICU with insitu catheter, expected average 3-4 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 NCT01613859, 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 27 May 2016.
