Trial summary

It is estimated that the incidence of congenital heart disease varies between 0.5 and 1% of live births, 5,000 new cases per year currently in France These are serious diseases that can be life-threatening to more or less short term. Read more about this study

About this study

It is estimated that the incidence of congenital heart disease varies between 0.5 and 1% of live births, 5,000 new cases per year currently in France These are serious diseases that can be life-threatening to more or less short term.

The advances in surgical techniques in recent years has improved the prognosis of these patients in the first months of life.

The success of surgery is, among other things, conditioned by a support per complex operation, involving a multimodal intensive monitoring, and respiratory and hemodynamic support techniques.

These elements of surveillance, NIRS (Near-infrared spectroscopy) allows measurement of non-invasive tissue saturation (rSO2) in cerebral and renal oxygen.

The fundamental principle of NIRS based on an estimate of the percentage proportion of cerebral oxy-hemoglobin.

A light source is emitted by NIRS and through body tissues to the brain where the light will be absorbed and refracted depending on the tissue composition in oxy-hemoglobin.

Refracted light will be analyzed by NIRS which in turn using software will help to determine a percentage of oxyhemoglobin.

Normal values of cerebral NIRS are between 50 and 80%.NIRS can be used according to this principle to estimate cerebral tissue oxygenation but also for other tissues such as the kidney.

More than the figure, those are changes NIRS compared to a baseline that will alert us to the conditions of tissue oxygenation and allow us to identify hypoxia times.

Changes in the value of the NIRS depends on 3 criteria: the tissue blood flow, the percentage of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin percentage.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Heart Defect, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France.

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 3 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 31 Aug 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Anne-Sophie Guilbert, MD (33 (0)3 88 12 73 20, anne-sophie.guilbert@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

oxygen saturation in brain and kidney tissue (time frame: 1 hour after cardiac surgery). 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 31 Aug 2016.
