About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Changes Due to Prone Position in Healthy Volunteers

Perioperative prone position may be associated with hemodynamic instability. The causes of instability have not yet been precisely elucidated. The aim of this study is to demonstrate physiological changes during prone positioning in healthy volunteers .

Read the detailed description

The prone position could decrease the cardiac index (CI), mainly due to reduction in stroke volume, with little changes in heart rate. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) could be maintained by increased systemic vascular resistance (SVR) in the majority of patients.

The aim of this study is to describe hemodynamic changes in two different surgical prone positions in 10 healthy non-anesthetized volunteers (flat position and using a support system allowing a free abdomen) by non-invasive measurement of hemodynamics (ClearSight, Edwards) and indirectly evaluated intra-abdominal pressure using ultrasound. The ClearSight system provides advanced hemodynamic parameters (cardiac index CI, stroke volume SV, stroke volume variation SVV, systemic vascular resistance SVR, mean arterial pressure MAP) from a finger cuff.

What participants receive

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

  • prone positionProcedure or surgery

    Unsupported prone position with arms along the body in neutral position will be used first without any supportive device except support of heels with a soft cylindrical device, head will be held in a neutral position using prone head rest. After recording of all measered values, the prone position using the prone position support system will be tested. The support system allows free movement of the lower thorax and abdomenal wall, upper arms are elevated and angled in 90 degrees (in shoulders and elbows). Heels will be positioned at the level of the heart using a supportive cylindrical device. Head will be held in a neutral position using prone head rest.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Non-anesthetized volunteersHemodynamic parameters will be measured in supine position. Volunteers will be turned into prone position. After a five-minute stabilization phase will be monitored CI, MAP, heart rate (HR), stroke volume variation SVV, systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) by non-invasive measurements using a ClearSight (Edwards) in two prone positions (lying on support system allowing a free abdomen and then lying flat without any device). Furthermore, the width of the inferior vena cava and vena jugularis interna, vena saphena and vena cephalica will be measured by ultrasound. The measurement will be performed in inspiration and in expiration phase.
Receives: Procedure: prone position

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamics Instability and Prone Position, run by University Hospital Hradec Kralove at 1 site in Czechia.

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 3 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 Nov 2022. 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 Czechia. 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?

Change in Cardiac Index (time frame: 5 minutes). 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 NCT04491331, 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 Nov 2022.
