About this study

Objective:

  1. To evaluate the consistency of cardiac output measured by different hemodynamic monitoring methods in patients with VA-ECMO
  2. To evaluate whether different hemodynamic monitoring methods can accurately detect the trend of cardiac output changes
Read the detailed description

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has been used for profound cardiogenic shock to bridge to decision,ventricular assist devices,or transplant.Close monitoring of cardiac output, especially in patients before and after intervention (such as volume expansion, diuresis, vasoconstriction, vasodilation therapy), can help to adjust the treatment strategy. Hemodynamic monitoring in ECMO patients requires familiarity with the underlying pathophysiology and circulatory mechanics of extracorporeal flow.Limited to the actual clinical situation of patients, one or two hemodynamic monitoring methods may be accepted. Is there consistency between different hemodynamic monitoring results? And whether hemodynamic monitoring can accurately detect the changes of these parameters before and after intervention is an important issue in clinical practice. This study will provide important reference for VA-ECMO patients how to choose appropriate hemodynamic monitoring tools and how to interpret the results of hemodynamic monitoring.

What participants receive

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

  • Trendelenburg ManeuverDiagnostic test

    In the Trendelenburg position, the body is laid supine with the feet higher than the head by 15-30 degrees. The venous return increases in the trendelenburg position which in turn increases the stroke volume.

  • dobutamine stress testDiagnostic test

    Dobutamine was infused intravenously at the initial dose of 2.5 ug/kg/min. Echocardiography was performed after 5-10 minutes of continuous infusion, and hemodynamic data were recorded.

Study groups in NCT04102072
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Trendelenburg ManeuverExperimentalThe Trendelenburg position is a common treatment in medicine.It is used either as a diagnostic tool to assess fluid loading response or as a therapeutic maneuver pending fluid resuscitation.With the advantage of autotransfusion readily available,the Trendelenburg position is used for expected instantaneous effect on cardiovascular performance.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Trendelenburg Maneuver
dobutamine stress testExperimentalDobutamine is a selective beta 1 receptor agonist. It [<10 ug/(kg.min)] can effectively increase myocardial contractility.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: dobutamine stress test

What is being measured

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

  1. Baseline Cardiac Output measurement

    Cardiac Output measured at baseline position( in a supine position with the head elevated to 15° for baseline measurements )

    Measured: within1 minute at baseline position

  2. Cardiac Output measurement afterTrendelenburg Maneuver

    Cardiac Output measured after Trendelenburg Maneuver

    Measured: 1 minute after starting Trendelenburg Maneuver

  3. Cardiac Output measurement after Dobutamine stress test

    Cardiac Output measured after dobutamine stress test

    Measured: 5 minutes after dobutamine stress test

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Trendelenburg Maneuver and dobutamine stress test in people with Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Guo-wei Tu, Doctor (86-021-64041990, tu.guowei@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Baseline Cardiac Output measurement (time frame: within1 minute at baseline position). 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?
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 26 Sep 2019.
