About this study

Official title: Investigation of Relationship Between Contrast Nephropathy and Caval Index Measurement in Patients With Suspected Ileus in Emergency Department

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the incidence of vena cava inferior diamater on ultrasound guidance of intravascular volume before diagnosis of contrast

  • enhanced CT for diagnostic purposes in ileus patients and to investigate the incidence and risk of developing contrast nephropathy due to contrast - enhanced CT.
Read the detailed description

Our work will be carried out in Kocaeli Derince Education and Research Hospital Emergency Service. Patients who are scheduled to receive abdominal contrast computed tomography (CT) scans in the emergency room, who are over 18 years of age, who are referred to Kocaeli Derince Education and Research Hospital Emergency Department for the study, will be calculated and recorded. The Mehran risk scores will be calculated and recorded in our clinic. 3 ml / kg IV physiological saline (SF) is applied first and then 1 ml / kg / hr IV SF is applied for at least 6 hours after shots. In addition, patients with contrasted abdominal CT underwent emergency surveillance ultrasound imaging (including the measurement of the vena cava diameter for evaluation of the patient's volume status). Patients who were admitted to our general surgery and not followed up for at least 48 hours, patients with contrast allergies, patients with renal replacement therapy, pregnancies, patients with contrast-enhanced CT scans within the last 10 days, and patients not informed will not be taken to the study. All Emergency Physicians will be informed about the study. Less than 100 mL of hypoosmolar, non-ionic contrast material will be used for all CT shots. Patients will be evaluated for the development of contrast nephropathy according to biochemical assays 48-72 hours after CT acquisition. Physicians evaluating patients in the emergency and general surgery services will be required to record blood tests that they consider necessary for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, and no extra blood will be collected for use in the study.

What participants receive

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

  • inferior vena cava ultrasoundProcedure or surgery

    Place the patient in the supine position. The degree of elevation of the head of the bed has not been shown to make a significant difference in measurements. The diameter of the IVC for calculation of the caval index should be measured 2 cm from where it enters the right atrium .An alternative way to visualize respiratory variation is to use M-mode, with the beam overlying the IVC 2 cm from the right atrium.The inspiratory and expiratory diameter can then be measured on the M-mode image, at the smallest and largest locations, respectively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimate contrast nephropathy in patients with low volume status by calculating Vena cava index

    Estimate contrast nephropathy in patients with low volume status by calculating Vena cava index In this study, we aimed to evaluate the incidence of vena cava inferior vena cava on ultrasound guidance of intravascular volume before diagnosis of contrast-enhanced CT and to investigate the incidence and development of contrast nephropathy due to contrast-enhanced CT.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ileus; Mechanical and Contrast-induced Nephropathy, run by Derince Training and Research Hospital.

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 4 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 25 Aug 2017. 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 ALI Y UYANIK, RESIDENT (+90 505 220 84 09, alifen_56@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Estimate contrast nephropathy in patients with low volume status by calculating Vena cava index (time frame: 48 hours). 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 NCT03261518, which also lists 4 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 25 Aug 2017.
