Trial summary

Background: Conditions of reduced perfusion are characterized by redistribution of blood flow away from the skin to more vital organs. Study Objectives: To assess the efficacy of a non-invasive, dermal blood flow (DBF) monitor in detecting changes in perfusion in critically ill patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Background: Conditions of reduced perfusion are characterized by redistribution of blood flow away from the skin to more vital organs.

Study Objectives: To assess the efficacy of a non-invasive, dermal blood flow (DBF) monitor in detecting changes in perfusion in critically ill patients.

Preliminary Study

Study Population: critically ill patients in a general ICU

Read the detailed description

DBF, finger plethysmography and invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded over an 8-hour period. DBF was measured using the I.S. MedTech DBF monitor, based on the hot-wire principle of thermal balance of a heater cooled by a moving medium, via a skin probe placed on the anterior chest wall. Sensitivity was evaluated by visual inspection during active states, either induced, e.g. fluid administration, or spontaneous, e.g. altered hemodynamics. Specificity was evaluated during stable states (minimal fluctuations of MAP and no active interventions applied or required). Data are expressed in terms of standard deviation (SD) and of the difference (SDD) between the MAP and each of the tested methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dermal blood flow measurements in people with Positive-Pressure Respiration, Intrinsic and Critically Ill Patients, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 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 18 Feb 2013. 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 Israel. 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?

Dermal blood flow measurements (time frame: over an 8-hour period). 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 18 Feb 2013.
