About this study

Official title: Does the Use of LiDCOplus Alter Decision-making in Fluid Prescription During Resuscitation in the Intensive Care Unit.

Unwell patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) often need supplementary fluids to be given into the bloodstream through a drip in a vein (venous cannula), however too much fluid can be harmful. It can sometimes be difficult to tell whether or not a patient will benefit from extra fluids so they are given a "fluid challenge", whereby a small volume of fluid is given quickly into the cannula and the change in their status is noted. If the patient's condition improves, this suggests that the patient is "fluid responsive" and needs more fluid.

A LiDCOplus haemodynamic monitor is a device used in the ICU to estimate the amount of blood ejected from the heart on each heartbeat using pressure readings obtained from a tube placed in one of the patient's arteries (arterial line).

The investigators aim to determine whether or not the use of this device called makes a difference to the judgement of "fluid responsiveness" when the patient is given a fluid challenge when compared to simply using measurements of pulse and blood pressure and assessing the circulation in the patient's limbs. This will allow the investigators to determine whether or not the LiDCOplus alters the decisions made by doctors and nurses about how much fluid to give their patients and hence if it is of any benefit.

What participants receive

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

  • LiDCOplus haemodynamic monitorDevice

    Patients in study group receive intravenous fluid bolus as part of standard fluid resuscitation. Fluid responsiveness (i.e. improvement in cardiac output) is estimated using both standard clinical parameters and by LiDCOplus haemodynamic monitor (with the clinician initially blinded to the latter) before a final decision about fluid responsiveness is made.

What is being measured

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

  1. Fluid responsiveness decisions changed by use of LiDCOplus

    Proportion of decisions about fluid management changed by knowledge of the change in stroke volume post fluid challenge, as derived by LiDCOplus haemodynamic monitor.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Shock, run by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2017. 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 United Kingdom. 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 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?

Fluid responsiveness decisions changed by use of LiDCOplus (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 22 Nov 2017.
