Trial summary

The prevalence of heart failure is estimated to 2.3 percent of the adult population and strongly increases with age, according to french disability-health surveys. In France, more than 32,000 annual deaths are attributable to heart failure and the five-year survival rate is similar to those found in many cancers. Read more about this study

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

Study population: As the goal of this study is to analyze common practices, data from the french medicalized information system program will be used to select a study population as exhaustive as possible. This program is dedicated to systematic collection of data from hospital stays. Each hospital stay is identified by a unique number and a diagnosis is attributed for each, at the end of every hospital stay. Diagnosis are based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). At hospital levels, a unique stay number can be related to names and addresses of involved patients. French medicalized information system program data are analyzed at a regional and then a national level. For this study, cases will be screened if they had a I500, I501 and I509 ICD-10 diagnosis (main or associated).

Who may be able to join

  • ≥18 years old
  • hospitalization during one of the two designed period (either year 2013, or year 2017) in a center belonging to Northern French Alps Emergency Network
  • diagnosis of cardiogenic pulmonary edema, or heart failure (either left-sided, congestive or unspecified)

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Professional Practices on the Management of Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema (RENAU-OAP)

The prevalence of heart failure is estimated to 2.3 percent of the adult population and strongly increases with age, according to french disability-health surveys. In France, more than 32,000 annual deaths are attributable to heart failure and the five-year survival rate is similar to those found in many cancers. A better therapeutic management (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and beta-blockers) helped reduce mortality after an episode of heart failure requiring hospitalization, but, nevertheless it remains high.

The severity of cardiogenic pulmonary edema depends on several factors such as etiology, hemodynamic status, effect on hematosis, and fatigue.

It is important to note that cardiogenic pulmonary edema initial management is decisive. In addition, early and adapted management of cardiogenic pulmonary edema is associated with a shorter hospital stay and reduced hospital mortality.

The Coronary Emergency Network (RESURCOR) within the Northern French Alps Emergency Network (RENAU) is an emergency care system structured in the departments of Isère, Savoie and Haute Savoie. Its main goal is to help improve emergency management by using regional good practice guidelines (www.renau.org). In this context, projects aiming to evaluate professional practices are developed regularly. Since emergency management of cardiogenic pulmonary edema has not been evaluated, the Northern French Alps Emergency Network offers an approach to improve professional practices by defining and disseminating guidelines on cardiogenic pulmonary edema management which will then be assessed.

Read the detailed description

The prevalence of heart failure is estimated to 2.3 percent of the adult population and strongly increases with age, according to disability-health surveys in France. In recent years, effective treatments (revascularization in percutaneous coronary intervention, circulatory assistance) helped reduce mortality in post-myocardial infarction, which combined with the increase of life expectancy has led to an increase number of patients with chronic heart failure. More than 32,000 annual deaths are attributable to heart failure and the five-year survival rate is similar to those found in cancers of the breast, bladder, colon, ovarian, and prostate. A better therapeutic management (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and beta-blockers) helped reduce mortality after an episode of heart failure requiring hospitalization, but, nevertheless it remains high.

Main clinical manifestations are those of left heart failure, such as cardiogenic pulmonary edema which is a medical emergency. Treatment must take into account pathophysiological aspects of heart failure, etiologies of cardiogenic pulmonary edema and any potential factors or triggers apart from general measures. Two consensus statements and an international recommendation help define therapeutic strategies in this particular situation.

Signs suggestive of cardiogenic pulmonary edema include orthopnea, bilateral crackles or wheezing (patients over 70 years without known asthma), edema of the lower limbs, and gallop sound on heart auscultation. The evolution of these signs makes it particularly possible to manage the response to the treatment. The severity of cardiogenic pulmonary edema depends on several factors such as etiology (ECG analysis and chest pain assessment for acute coronary syndrome), hemodynamic status (blood pressure, heart rate), effect on hematosis (cyanosis, oxygen saturation), and fatigue (low respiratory rate with persistent cardiogenic pulmonary edema signs). The respiratory rate represents a simple clinical feature that can be used to quantify dyspnea (sign of severity if greater than 30 per minute in adults) and then follow its evolution (improvement, exhaustion). Disorders of consciousness can testify to the severity of the hemodynamic state and/or exhaustion.

Cardiogenic pulmonary edema management without shock implies urgent administration of vasodilators (trinitrin) and intravenous loop diuretics in presence of congestion signs along with the establishment of a system of care adapted to severity (Emergency Mobile Services or ambulance, hospitalization in Intensive Care Unit, intensive cardiology unit, cardiology or medicine department, or emergency passage). The subsequent therapeutic management will especially depend on initial treatment by the primary care physician, so it is preferable to record doses and hours of medications. Non-hospitalization must remain exceptional for non-severe decompensation with rapidly favorable evolution.

The French Observatory of Acute Heart Failure (OFICA) including nearly 1,800 patients specified epidemiological and therapeutic data of patients hospitalized for cardiogenic pulmonary edema in 2009. However, this study did not describe the initial management of the Mobile Emergency and Resuscitation Service and emergency services of hospitals. It is important to note that cardiogenic pulmonary edema initial management is decisive. In addition, early and adapted management of cardiogenic pulmonary edema is associated with a shorter hospital stay and reduced hospital mortality.

The Coronary Emergency Network (RESURCOR) within the Northern French Alps Emergency Network (RENAU) is an emergency care system structured in the departments of Isère, Savoie and Haute-Savoie.

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Only the first part of the study was done.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Change of quality of initial care of patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema after dissemination of good practice standards (time frame: an average of 1 week (length of hospitalization for cardiogenic pulmonary edema)). 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 NCT03148847, which also lists 22 linked publications.

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 18 Jun 2019.
