About this study

Official title: Preoperative Hemodynamic Monitoring and Resuscitation in Hip Fractures: a Prospective Observational Study

Background: Fracture of the hip is a potentially fatal event in an elderly, frail, highly comorbid patient group suffering from dehydration and hypovolemia, and it carries a risk that equals major trauma in young patients in regard of physiological insult and severity, yet no preoperative resuscitation and transfusion strategy is available. An important goal of hemodynamic monitoring and resuscitation is early detection of insufficient tissue perfusion and oxygenation. The peripheral perfusion index reflects changes in peripheral perfusion and blood volume and a decreased peripheral perfusion index predicts surgical complications and morbidity in acute surgical and septic shock patients. The research group hypothesize that elderly frail patients with a fracture of the hip suffer from hypovolemia and peripheral hypoperfusion of varying degrees and accordingly respond to controlled fluid resuscitation and that the non-invasive peripheral perfusion index will serve as an early predictor of a deteriorated circulation in reflection of stroke volume.

Methods: The main objective of this prospective observational study is to assess to what extend patients with fracture of the hip suffer from hypovolemia and respond to a fluid challenge. The secondary objectives are to evaluate correlation between the minimally-invasive measurements of stroke volume and blood volume and the non-invasive measurement of peripheral perfusion index and near-infrared spectroscopy, as well as prevalence of postoperative complications and mortality. Fifty consecutive patients over the age of 65 years, presenting with a hip fracture, treated in a multimodal fast-track regimen, will be included when written informed consent is available. All patients will receive epidural analgesia and preoperative stroke volume-guided hemodynamic optimization. Blood volume measurements are performed and all patients are monitored with peripheral perfusion index and near-infrared spectroscopy.

Discussion: This is likely the first study to address clinically applicable hemodynamic monitoring and resuscitation in patients with fracture of the hip where adequate resuscitation is easily missed. The study group aim to evaluate the feasibility of preoperative stroke volume-guided hemodynamic optimization in the context of minimally- and non-invasive monitoring of peripheral perfusion and blood volume measurements.

What participants receive

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

  • Preoperative Stroke Volume(SV)-guided fluid optimizationOther

    Also called Blood volume measurement, Monitoring of Peripheral Perfusion Index (PPI), Monitoring of Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)

    Preoperative SV-guided hemodynamic optimization will be commenced with patients receiving 250ml fluid challenges over five minutes aiming to maximize SV. Maximal SV is defined as absence of a sustained rise in SV by at least 10% in response to a fluid challenge.

    PPI will be obtained from the Masimo Radical 7 (Masimo, Irvine, CA, USA) and NIRS from Invos 5100C (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

    BV measurements will use pulse dye densitometry (PDD) with Indocyanine Green (ICG). We will use the Dye Densitogram 3300 analyser Nihon Kohden (Tokyo, Japan) for registration of the spectrophotometrical absorption of ICG and calculation of BV.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients presenting with preoperative hypovolemia/reduced BV before and after epidural anesthesia

    Measured: Preoperatively

  2. Proportion of patients with low/very low PPI (PII<1.4 and < 0.5) before and after epidural anesthesia

    Measured: Preoperatively

  3. Proportion of patients who respond to a 250 ml fluid challenge with sustained rise in SV by at least 10%

    Measured: Preoperatively

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Correlation between SV, PII and NIRS at normo- and hypovolemia states

    Measured: Preoperatively

  2. Correlation between PPI and standard microcirculatory variables including lactate, capillary refill time (CRT), and central vs. peripheral temperature

    Measured: Preoperatively

  3. Correlation between non-invasive Hemoglobin (Hb), BV and arterial Hb

    Measured: Preoperatively

  4. Proportion of mortality in patients responding to the fluid challenge vs. patients not responding

    Measured: At 30 days and 1 year

  5. Proportion of postoperative complications in patients responding to the fluid challenge vs. patients not responding

    Measured: At 30 days and 1 year

  6. Proportion of mortality in patients with high vs. low PPI and NIRS, including impact of BV

    Measured: At 30 days and 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fracture of Hip, run by Hvidovre University Hospital 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 1 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 30 Oct 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 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?

Proportion of patients presenting with preoperative hypovolemia/reduced BV before and after epidural anesthesia (time frame: Preoperatively). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03401138, 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 30 Oct 2019.
