Trial summary

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is commonplace after cardiothoracic surgery. A rate control strategy by using short-acting beta blockers is recommended as a first-line therapy in patients without hemodynamic instability. Microcirculatory effects of POAF and esmolol have not been yet investigated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Microvascular Effects of Intravenous Esmolol in Patients With Normal Cardiac Function Undergoing Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation: a Prospective Pilot Study in Cardiothoracic Surgery

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is commonplace after cardiothoracic surgery. A rate control strategy by using short-acting beta blockers is recommended as a first-line therapy in patients without hemodynamic instability. Microcirculatory effects of POAF and esmolol have not been yet investigated. The investigators made the hypothesis that POAF without hemodynamic instability would induce microvascular dysfunction which could be reversed by intravenous esmolol.

What is being measured

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

  1. effects of POAF without hemodynamic instability on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) parameters in combination with a vascular occlusion test

    NIRS parameters were restoration speed and desaturation speed. Desaturation speed and resaturation speed of the study were assessed during POAF without esmolol and after a stabilization period of 45 min between each dose of esmolol. An automated pneumatic cuff inflator was positioned at the upper extremity of the ipsilateral upper limb. After completion of a baseline set of measurements for each patient, a rapid arterial occlusion of the upper limb was provoked by inflation of the pneumatic cuff at 50 mmHg above the systolic arterial pressure, up to the StO2 value decreases to 40% or for a maximal period of 10 minutes. The arterial cuff was then rapidly deflated to initiate reperfusion.

    Measured: Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 24 Aug 2018. 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?

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?

effects of POAF without hemodynamic instability on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) parameters in combination with a vascular occlusion test (time frame: Day 7). 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 24 Aug 2018.
