Trial summary

Low Cardiac Output Syndrome occurs frequently after cardiac surgery, especially when pre-operative LVEF is altered (LVEF≤45%). The correction of hemodynamic failure requires adapted treatments: fluid expansion and/or inotropic or vasoactive drugs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Indices Predictive of a Beneficial Response to Fluid Expansion in Case of Hemodynamic Failure After Cardiac Surgery With Altered Preoperative Ejection Fraction (LVEF≤45%): Sensibility and Specificity of Respiratory Variations of Pulse Pressure (∆PP), Photoplethysmography (∆POP), Perfusion Index (PVI), Before and After Fluid Expansion.

Low Cardiac Output Syndrome occurs frequently after cardiac surgery, especially when pre-operative LVEF is altered (LVEF≤45%). The correction of hemodynamic failure requires adapted treatments: fluid expansion and/or inotropic or vasoactive drugs. Predictive indices of a response to fluid challenge may allow an earlier hemodynamic optimization, which has not been showed until now when LVEF is altered.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cardiac surgery for ventricular dysfunctionProcedure or surgery

    For each included patient during the immediate post operative period, hemodynamic variables will be recorded (continuous arterial pressure, ECG, photoplethysmographic curve, CVP, wedge pressure, respiratory pressure), at rest (proclive 45°), during fluid expansion (physiological saline).

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of ∆PP, ∆POP, PVI and Cardiac index (CI)

    To assess the sensibility and specificity of ∆PP, ∆POP, PVI, after fluid expansion in case of hemodynamic failure in the immediate post-operative period after cardiac surgery, when pre-operative LVEF is altered.

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Measure of Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure (SAP, DAP, MAP), Central venous pressure (CVP) and wedge pressure.

    Secondary objectives :

    • Early optimization of hemodynamics after cardiac surgery,
    • To determine optimal threshold for ∆PP, ∆POP and PVI,
    • To compare dynamic (∆PP, ∆POP and PVI) with static (central venous pressure: CVP, wedge pressure) indices

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cardiac surgery for ventricular dysfunction in people with Ventricular Dysfunction, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 27 Dec 2019. 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 France. 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?

Measure of ∆PP, ∆POP, PVI and Cardiac index (CI) (time frame: 2 hours). 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 27 Dec 2019.
