Can Capillary Refill Time Variation During Passive Leg Raising Predict Fluid Responsiveness
An observational study of Circulatory Failure, run by Hopital Louis Pradel at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
Fluid responsiveness in a context of circulatory failure can be assessed by different way. Microcirculatory evaluation to assess fluid responsiveness could be interesting, but the available device are expensive and the analysis are delayed. Capillary refill time (CRT) is hampered by its variability. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Can Capillary Refill Time Variation Induced by Passive Leg Raising Predict Capillary Refill Time Variation After a Fluid Load in Patients With Circulatory Failure.
Fluid responsiveness in a context of circulatory failure can be assessed by different way. Microcirculatory evaluation to assess fluid responsiveness could be interesting, but the available device are expensive and the analysis are delayed. Capillary refill time (CRT) is hampered by its variability. The investigators have developed a method to standardize the pressure, the length of compression and a computerized analysis to calculate the capillary refill time. This method enables accurate measure of CRT.
The investigators will study if CRT variation induced by a passive leg raising (PLR) can predict CRT after a 500 ml Fluid Load.

About thirty patients in circulatory failure with a continuous cardiac output monitoring for whom, the attending physician has decided a fluid load, will be included. hemodynamic parameters (arterial pressure, venous pressure, cardiac output), metabolic parameters (arterial and venous blood gas and lactate), microcirculatory parameters (assessed by sublingual video-microscopy) and capillary refill time measured on the thorax and on the gingival area will be recorded. Data collection will be made before and after a passive leg raising and after a 500 ml fluid load of crystalloids.
Patients will be aposteriori sorted in two groups: responders and non responders, defined by the reduction of CRT after the fluid load. The diagnosis ability of the CRT variation after PLR to predict in which group each patient is classified will be investigate and receiver operative characteristic curve will be built. These results will be compared to the metabolic response, the macrocirculatory response, and the microcirculatory response.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Observational study: No special intervention will be made.Other
No special intervention will be made, only data will be collected before, and after a passive leg raising and a fluid challenge decided and performed by the attending physician.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Capillary refill time response
A reduction of about 30% of the capillary refill time after a 500 ml fluid load will defined responders.

An increase of 15% of the proportion of perfused vessels or from 0.6 of the microcirculatory flow index assessed by videomicroscopy after a 500 ml fluid load will define microcirculatory responders.
Evaluation of the diagnosis capacity of capillary refill time variation after passive leg raising to diagnose microcirculatory responders will be investigate.
Measured: The period of inclusion last 45 minutes, the outcome will be assessed at the end of the 500 ml fluid load 45 minutes after the inclusion.

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?
Capillary refill time response (time frame: The period of inclusion last 45 minutes, the outcome will be assessed at the end of the 500 ml fluid load 45 minutes after the inclusion.). 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 NCT02248025, 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 5 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
