Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The aim of this study is the estimation of the agreement between esCCO™ and the transcardiopulmonal thermodilution technique (PiCCO®) using Bland-Altman-treatment. The 95%-confidence interval of the limits of agreement was selected for the design of the number of cases. At a number of cases by 100 you will get the width of 0,68 s (s: standard deviation of the differences of the measurement techniques). This is reasonable for the question (Bland and Altman 1986, you have to compare the recommendation of Bland: https://www.users.york.ac.uk/~mb55/meas/sizemeth.htm).

Who may be able to join

  • The extended haemodynamic monitoring procedure PiCCO® has already been established due to the clinical decision making of the medical practitioner team

Who cannot join

  • atrial fibrillation
  • cardiac arrhythmias
  • cardiac pacemaker
  • intraaortic counterpulsation
  • pericardial tamponade

About this study

Official title: Cardiac Output Monitoring System (esCCO™) in Comparison to Transcardiopulmonal Thermodilution Technique (PiCCO®) in Critically Ill Patients Within Interdisciplinary Surgical Intensive Care Units

Evaluation of a non-invasive technique to measure cardiac output (esCCO™) with the "clinical goldstandard" of the transcardiopulmonal thermodilution technique (PiCCO®). Effect of different potential interference factors to the accuracy of measurement (changing concentration of norepinephrine, generally severity of the basic disease - APACHE II score).

Read the detailed description

The measurements have to estimate the agreement of esCCO™ and PiCCO® related to the cardiac output (cardiac index). It should consult a comparison of methods between a complete non-invasive cardiac output monitoring method (esCCO™) and the transcardiopulmonal thermodilution technique (PiCCO®). The accuracy shall carve out as well as the power of agreement of both measurement methods.

It takes two simultaneous measurements at a time of critically ill patients at interdisciplinary surgical intensive care units. Furthermore the force of the major variables (1. requirement of norepinephrine and 2. APACHE II-score) to the estimators shall be realized.

esCCO™ vs. (PiCCO®)

This research shall include 100 patients which have to undergo a complex intensive care treatment within predefined therapy intentions.

During a daily screening within the interdisciplinary surgical intensive care units of the Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel it will be opted for the inclusion of the patients.

Points of time x [x ε M and M = {1, 2, 3, 4}] - two test series (measurement 1 and 2).

According to the ability of the patient to the research the predefined point of time number 1 will be supposed (point of time number 1: inclusion criterium). The predefined point of time number 2 will be supposed if the therapy concept is planned or changed. The point of time number 3 is defined as the re-evaluation in the course of changed therapy conceptions. If the medical practitioner team decides to renounce the PiCCO-system, the predefined point of time number 4 has arrived.

The requirement of norepinephrine will be registered in every measurement (1 and 2). The APACHE II-score will be surveyed each point of time x (see above).

The remaining treatment of the patients will be performed in the conventional way by the medical practitioner team within the interdisciplinary surgical intensive care units.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison between esCCOTM and the transcardiopulmonal thermodilution technique (PiCCO®)

    Comparison of cardiac output, utilizing cardiac index (CI), between (esCCO™) and the "clinical goldstandard" of the transcardiopulmonal thermodilution technique (PiCCO®)

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Output, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2019. 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 Germany. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Comparison between esCCOTM and the transcardiopulmonal thermodilution technique (PiCCO®) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 13 Jun 2019.
