About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Different Types of Extended Infusion Lines on Pulse Contour-based Measurements Based on the Arterial Pressure Signal

Hemodynamic monitoring of the critically-ill patients is increasingly performed using an arterial pulse contour-based cardiac output device such as the proAQT system.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of extending the pressure lines on the arterial pressure wave and the calculated hemodynamic variables when using the proAQT system.

Read the detailed description

Hemodynamic continuous monitoring of critically-ill patients is increasingly performed with minimally-invasive methods, such as the proAQT sensor (PULSION Medical Systems SE, Munich, Germany).

The proAQT sensor calculates hemodynamic variables such as the cardiac output, stroke volume (variation), pulse-pressure variation and systemic vascular resistance by pulse contour analysis of the arterial pressure waveform using an arterial radial or femoral catheter. This minimal invasive technique, also permits continuous beat-to-beat assessment.

In patients in who an arterial catheter is placed for clinical reasons, the hemodynamic variables are continuously recorded. An extension line is coupled to a 3-way stopcock, connected to the proAQT sensor. In a neutral position of the 3-way stopcock, the pressure wave travels from the pressure sensor through the standard line. By turning the handle of the stopcock the standard line is bypassed and the pressure wave travels through the extended line.

The hemodynamic registration will be as follows:

  • two minutes in the neutral position;
  • two minutes with one type of extension line
  • two minutes in the neutral position
  • two minutes with a second type of extension line
  • two minutes in neutral position

The arterial pressure curve and all calculated hemodynamic variables are electronically registered.

The influence of two types of extension lines on the accuracy of the calculated hemodynamic variables will be evaluated by comparing the variables measured in neutral position and variables measured with the extended pressure lines. The changes in the calculated variables will be correlated to possible arterial pressure waveform modifications and used to evaluate different algorithms, which might be used to reconstruct the primary pressure wave.

What is being measured

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

  1. relative change in ProAQT-calculated cardiac output after placement of extension lines.

    relative change (in % of the baseline measurement) in cardiac output following increase in length of the extension line.

    Measured: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. change in Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the arterial pressure wave form after placement of extension lines.

    The relative chane in AUC of the arterial pressure curve (from start systole to dicrotic notch) following increase in length of the extension line.

    Measured: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.

  2. relative change in ProAQT-calculated SVR after placement of extension lines.

    relative change (in % of the baseline measurement) in systemic vascular resistance following increase in length of the extension line.

    Measured: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.

  3. relative change in ProAQT-calculated diastolic blood pressure after placement of extension lines.

    relative change (in % of the baseline measurement) in diastolic blood pressure following increase in length of the extension line.

    Measured: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.

  4. relative change in ProAQT-calculated systolic blood pressure after placement of extension lines.

    relative change (in % of the baseline measurement) in systolic blood pressure following increase in length of the extension line.

    Measured: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.

  5. relative change in ProAQT-calculated stroke volume variation after placement of extension lines.

    relative change (in % of the baseline measurement) in stroke volume variation following increase in length of the extension line.

    Measured: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.

  6. relative change in ProAQT-calculated pulse pressure variation after placement of extension lines.

    relative change (in % of the baseline measurement) in pulse pressure variation following increase in length of the extension line.

    Measured: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamic Instability, run by Algemeen Ziekenhuis Maria Middelares at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 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 10 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 Belgium. 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?

relative change in ProAQT-calculated cardiac output after placement of extension lines. (time frame: one minute of measurement after changing the length of the extension line.). 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 10 Oct 2019.
