About this study

Official title: Correlation of Venous Oxygen Saturation Measurements by Non-invasive Mespere Venous Oximeter vs Central Venous Oxygen Saturation, Measured by a CO-Oximeter.

The intent of this study is to validate the venous blood oxygenation measurements of the Mespere VA Oximeter compared to the saturations measured by venous blood sampling through an inserted central vein catheter, which is currently the standard of care for measuring SvO2

Read the detailed description

The conventional bedside pulse oximeter has been a standard in clinical care for non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring and measures arterial blood oxygenation. To date, a non-invasive bedside monitor for measuring mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) has not been developed. The clinical applications of venous oximetry are numerous and include management of severe sepsis and septic shock, trauma and hemorrhagic shock, heart failure and cardiac arrest.

The existing method for venous blood oxygenation monitored is either through an invasive fiber optic catheter, or intermittently by blood sampling through a central venous catheter Oximetry. However, SvO2 measurements using fiber optic catheters are very expensive, and all central line insertions include inherent risks. Also, insertion of a central line is in some circumstances not feasible (e.g. discomfort/limited experience in central line insertion, unavailability of specific monitoring systems etc.) resulting in inappropriate therapy usually guided by SvO2. Therefore, a non-invasive monitor to measure SvO2 at the bedside negating the requirement for a central line insertion would be of clinical benefit and allow appropriate therapy of many patients listed above at a time when therapy has the most benefit.

The Mespere VA Oximeter is a non-invasive medical device for monitoring of venous blood oxygenation.

Continuous measurement of venous oxygenation will be beneficial because it will help the physician better understand local ischemia as well as provide better guidance for the physician to be able to best treat the patient and decrease their burden of illness.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Post Cardiac Surgery Low Output Syndrome Requiring Inotropic/Vasopressor Therapy, run by Mespere Lifesciences Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Mespere Venous Oximeter Accuracy Verification Study (time frame: up to 36 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 28 Sep 2015.
