Trial summary

This study aims to describe the ratio of the diameter of inferior vena cava to the common femoral vein measured by ultrasonography in critically ill patients with shock, and to evaluate the potential link between this ratio and the existence of intra-abdominal disease. Read more about this study

About this study

This study aims to describe the ratio of the diameter of inferior vena cava to the common femoral vein measured by ultrasonography in critically ill patients with shock, and to evaluate the potential link between this ratio and the existence of intra-abdominal disease.

Read the detailed description

Among patients presenting with severe abdominal disease and shock, observations shown that the diameter of the common femoral vein was larger than the inferior vena cava. The hypothesis is that this observation could be secondary to a compression of the inferior vena cava related to an increased intra abdominal pressure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • UltrasonographyProcedure or surgery

    At the time of ICU admission, among critically ill patients with shock, the investigators will measure the diameter of the common femoral vein and that of the inferior vena cava by ultrasonography.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ratio of the diameter of the inferior vena cava related to the common femoral vein

    Measured: Up to 28 days after ICU admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamic Instability, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon at 1 site in 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 2 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 7 Sep 2016. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Gaël PITON, MD, PhD (0033381668224, gpiton@chu-besancon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ratio of the diameter of the inferior vena cava related to the common femoral vein (time frame: Up to 28 days after ICU admission). 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 7 Sep 2016.
