Trial summary

The investigators have developed an automated vasopressor controller to improve the titration of vasopressor in order to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) within a narrow range and have recently shown the controller was effective in both the operating room and intensive care unit.

About this study

Official title: Postoperative Hypotension Management With Computer-guided Vasopressor Titration in High-Risk Patients After Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The investigators have developed an automated vasopressor controller to improve the titration of vasopressor in order to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) within a narrow range and have recently shown the controller was effective in both the operating room and intensive care unit. The controller has been used recently in a case series of three patients undergoing cardiac surgery and in five patients after cardiac surgery.

The investigators want to compare now a manual to a closed-loop titration of vasopressor infusion in patients admitted in the Intensive Care unit after cardiac surgery

Read the detailed description

Perioperative hypotension and arterial pressure variability have been shown to negatively impact patient outcomes, increasing risk of stroke, kidney injury, and myocardial injury among others.

Vasopressors are usually used to rapidly correct hypotension. Vasopressor infusions are typically administered by standard infusion pump with the rate adjusted by anesthesiologists to reach a predefined target mean arterial pressure (MAP); this requires frequent changes in the infusion rate because of the almost constantly changing hemodynamic status of such patients. Because it is infeasible for human providers to pay constant attention and make second-to-second changes, management is often suboptimal (i.e. large amounts of time are spent in hypotension below the target, or well above the target with the vasopressor drip still running).

The investigators have developed an automated closed-loop vasopressor (CLV) controller to improve the titration of vasopressor (e.g:noradrenaline) in order to maintain MAP within a narrow range in the perioperative setting. The investigators have published engineering, animal and most recently, pilot,studies or case series with promising results.

In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators will compare time spent in hypotension defined as a mean arterial pressure < 65 mmHg. They tested the hypothesis that the automated system will allow patients to spent less time during the postoperative period with a MAP < 65 mmHg. This is thus a superiority study over a two hours study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Computer guided vasopressor infusion in people with Cardiac Surgery, run by Clinique de la Sauvegarde at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 22 Dec 2020. 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 France. 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?

incidence of postoperative hypotension (time frame: postoperative hour 2). 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 NCT04586218, 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 22 Dec 2020.
