Trial summary

The purpose of the Oxy-CAHN study is to improve the monitoring capabilities of newborn infants recovering from congenital heart surgery. Currently, we utilize important but unsophisticated measures, such as vital signs and lactate measurements, to monitor these patients. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of the Oxy-CAHN study is to improve the monitoring capabilities of newborn infants recovering from congenital heart surgery. Currently, we utilize important but unsophisticated measures, such as vital signs and lactate measurements, to monitor these patients. Although they are useful in categorizing patients as well or unwell, these signs currently lack the power quantify a patient's risk for cardiac arrest. More to the point, they are mostly indirect measures of what we really are assessing, which is tissue oxygen delivery.

Our group has significant expertise with devices which quantify the amount of oxygen that a baby consumes every minute. Historically, these values are more commonly used in combination with other measures to assess nutritional and metabolism status. In critically ill patients, however, the volume of oxygen consumed by a patient may be limited by the amount of oxygen their circulation delivers. This may represent a critical relationship, which has been previously described, but not exploited for the purpose of identifying patients with critically low oxygen delivery.

The aims of this study are therefore (1) to demonstrate that oxygen consumption can be safely and precisely measured continuously in newborns undergoing one of two common congenital heart surgeries, (2) to determine whether postoperative circulatory failure is associated with a precedent change in oxygen consumption, and (3) to determine whether the addition of the oxygen-based measurements (including oxygen consumption and venous oxygen saturations) to standardly measured parameters will add power in predicting which patients will experience postoperative circulatory failure.

If successful, this study may improve our capacity to non-invasively and continuously monitor patients following the highest risk congenital heart surgeries, and in the future,to create an algorithm which quantifies a patients risk for having a cardiac arrest. This may permit providers to intervene on these patients earlier, improving the morbidity and mortality associated with congenital heart disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxygen Consumption

    Oxygen consumption is the mass of oxygen gas consumed per minute, measured as the difference between oxygen mass inspired versus exhaled per minute.

    Measured: While mechanically ventilated, up to 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Computed Cardiac Index

    A calculated estimate of cardiac index/systemic blood flow based on the Fick principle.

    Measured: While mechanically ventilated, up to 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing General Electric Healthcare E-COVX Gas Monitoring Module for VO2 Measurments and Edwards Continuous SVO2 Catheter and Monitoring System - 4.5 fr in people with Transposition of the Great Vessels and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, run by Boston Children's Hospital 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Oxygen Consumption (time frame: While mechanically ventilated, up to 14 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 NCT02184169, 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 4 Jun 2020.
