Trial summary

Automated software analysis now allows for quick estimation of cardiac output from the echocardiographic 5-chamber view. This study will validate the automated software method against pulmonary artery thermodilution and against conventional cardiac output measurement with echocardiography. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validation of Automated Ultrasound Method for Measurement of Cardiac Output: A Clinical Observational Study

Automated software analysis now allows for quick estimation of cardiac output from the echocardiographic 5-chamber view. This study will validate the automated software method against pulmonary artery thermodilution and against conventional cardiac output measurement with echocardiography.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of cardiac output measurement

    Mean bias with limits of agreement for cardiac output measurement between automated cardiac output measurement and pulmonary artery thermodilution

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Trending ability

    Trending ability for cardiac output measurement for automated cardiac output measurement compared to pulmonary artery thermodilution

    Measured: 120 minutes

  2. Accuracy of cardiac output measurement

    Mean bias with limits of agreement for cardiac output measurement between automated cardiac output measurement and conventional echocardiographic cardiac output measurement

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Trending ability

    Trending ability for cardiac output measurement for automated cardiac output measurement compared to traditional echocardiographic cardiac output measurement

    Measured: 120 minutes

  4. Accuracy of cardiac output measurement

    Mean bias with limits of agreement for cardiac output measurement between traditional cardiac output measurement and pulmonary artery thermodilution

    Measured: 10 minutes

  5. Trending ability

    Trending ability for cardiac output measurement for traditional echocardiographic cardiac output compared to pulmonary artery thermodilution

    Measured: 120 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Output, Low and Surgery, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 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 18 Jul 2018. 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 Denmark. 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?

Accuracy of cardiac output measurement (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 NCT03372863, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jul 2018.
