Trial summary

The investigators would like to study cardiac output, stroke volume, and fluid responsiveness on young adult pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia and surgery with the use of the NICOM, a non-invasive monitor. The NICOM method is non-invasive and provides reliable trending of cardiac output and stroke volume. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Trial of a Non-Invasive Cardiac Output in Young Adults

The investigators would like to study cardiac output, stroke volume, and fluid responsiveness on young adult pediatric patients undergoing anesthesia and surgery with the use of the NICOM, a non-invasive monitor. The NICOM method is non-invasive and provides reliable trending of cardiac output and stroke volume. Measuring cardiac output in conjunction with routine monitoring will provide a better assessment of intra-operative status.

Read the detailed description

This study will involve measurements of cardiac output, stroke volume, and fluid responsiveness (change in stroke volume of ≥ 10%) obtained via passive leg raise (PLR) before and after anesthesia induction.

Use of Cheetah medical NICOMFor those who consent to the study, the Cheetah NICOM will be used to obtain cardiac output, stroke volume, and fluid responsiveness.
Receives: Device: NICOM

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient Fluid responsiveness

    If patient is fluid responsive, Stroke Volume Index (SVI) will increase by 10% or greater compared to its baseline

    Measured: within 30 minutes post-anesthesia induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fluid Overload and Hypovolemia, run by Indiana University.

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 2 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 3 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Patient Fluid responsiveness (time frame: within 30 minutes post-anesthesia induction). 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 3 Oct 2018.
