Trial summary

The arterial system compliance is compromised in liver cirrhotic patients. Dynamic preload variables are either pressure-based (e.g.pulse pressure variation; PPV), flow-based (e.g. stroke volume variation; SVV), or volume-based (plethysmographic variability index; PVI). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Validity of Dynamic Preload Parameters During Liver Transplantation

The arterial system compliance is compromised in liver cirrhotic patients. Dynamic preload variables are either pressure-based (e.g.pulse pressure variation; PPV), flow-based (e.g. stroke volume variation; SVV), or volume-based (plethysmographic variability index; PVI). It is not yet clear that dynamic preload parameters based on which mechanism will be accurate to predict fluid responsiveness in the cirrhotic patients. Therefore, this study aimed to claried which dynamic preload parameters would be more accurate during the liver transplantation.

Read the detailed description

Fluid management is crucial during liver transplantation. Patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension have an altered blood volume distribution and pooling in the splanchnic circulation. Excess administration of intravenous fluid may increase portal hypertension due to splanchnic venous congestion and may also aggravate coagulopathy by dilution. On the other hand, fluid restriction may risk systemic and especially renal hypoperfusion. Traditional static fluid parameter, such as central venous pressure, pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, have been reported inaccurate to predict fluid responsiveness. In comparison, the recent developed dynamic fluid parameters based on heart-lung interaction were reported to be good preload indicators in a variety of different surgical settings. However, the validity of such dynamic fluid parameters is highly dependent on The arterial system compliance is compromised in liver cirrhotic patients. Dynamic preload variables are either pressure-based (e.g.pulse pressure variation; PPV), flow-based (e.g. stroke volume variation; SVV), or volume-based (plethysmographic variability index; PVI). It is not yet clear that dynamic preload parameters based on which mechanism will be accurate to predict fluid responsiveness in the cirrhotic patients. Therefore, this study aimed to claried which dynamic preload parameters would be more accurate during the liver transplantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Cirrhosis, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 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 Taiwan. 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?

Contact Chun Yu Wu, M.D. (+886-2-23123456 ext. 62158, longersolo@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of cardiac index after fluid loading (time frame: one day). 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 NCT01971333, 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 30 Oct 2013.
