Trial summary

Background: Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive method for continuous left cardiac output monitoring based on measurement of thoracic electrical bioimpedance. The objective of this study is to validate an ICG device by investigating the agreement in cardiac output (CO; left ventricular output x heart rate)… Read more about this study

About this study

Background:

Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive method for continuous left cardiac output monitoring based on measurement of thoracic electrical bioimpedance. The objective of this study is to validate an ICG device by investigating the agreement in cardiac output (CO; left ventricular output x heart rate) measurements performed by ICG and echocardiography. The ICG device (PhysioFlow) has a new filter technology reducing signal noise and enabling measurements in patients who are moving freely.

Material and Methods

  • Design: Prospective observational study.
  • Inclusion: 30 healthy term infants between 24 and 48 hours of age, after parental consent
  • Methods: Continuous measurement with ICG over a 30 min period and point of care echocardiography
  • Primary outcome: Agreement (bis and precision) between measurement of CO with ICG and echocardiography.
  • Secondary outcomes: Agreement between other echocardiographic indices of myocardial function and ICG parameters (early diastolic filling ratio, cardiac index, ventricular ejection time and left cardiac work index).
  • Statistics: Agreement between ICG and echocardiography data will be evaluated using Bland-Altman statistics, including the calculation of mean bias (average difference between measurements) with corresponding standard deviation and lower and upper limits of agreements (95% confidence interval).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamics, run by University Hospital of North Norway.

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 1 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2019. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Cardiac output (time frame: one hour). 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 8 Mar 2019.
