Trial summary

Dopamine is frequently used as an inotropic drug to elevate cardiac output. In addition to the beneficial cardiac effect of this drug, the few previous studies addressing its ability to alter the airway tone reported controversial results. Read more about this study

About this study

Dopamine is frequently used as an inotropic drug to elevate cardiac output. In addition to the beneficial cardiac effect of this drug, the few previous studies addressing its ability to alter the airway tone reported controversial results.

Thus, the investigators aimed at clarifying the potential of dopamine to alter gas exchange outcomes and the airway tone in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Blood gas parameters, airway resistance, tissue damping and tissue elastance will be measured in the patients before the CPB, immediately after CPB, and 5 min after administration of dopamine (3 mcg/kg/min).

The importance of the research is to reveal whether the beneficial mechanical changes after dopamine administrations are associated with improvements in gas exchange outcomes. Clarification of this research question have scientific relevance and may also improves patient outcomes.

Being tested
Dopamine administration

What participants receive

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

  • Dopamine administrationDrug

    Administration of dopamine (3 mcg/kg/min) as part of cardiac support therapy after the cardiopulmonary bypass. Administration of dopamine is a subject of clinical decision based on the cardiovascular status of the patients.

Dopamine groupExperimentalCardiac surgery patients receiving dopamine to support their cardiac function (as part of the routine post-operative care).
Receives: Drug: Dopamine administration
Control groupNo interventionCardiac surgery patients receiving no positive inotrope drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2)

    Partial pressure of oxygen in the blood sample assessed by a blood gas analyser.

    Measured: 5 min after administration of dopamine

  2. Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2)

    Partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood sample assessed by a blood gas analyser.

    Measured: 5 min after administration of dopamine

  3. Lung mechanics

    Airway resistance, lung tissue damping and lung tissue elastance obtained by forced oscillation technique.

    Measured: 5 min after administration of dopamine

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Capnography

    Time capnography to obtain phase 3 and phase 2 slopes.

    Measured: 5 min after administration of dopamine

  2. Intrapulmonary shunt

    Intrapulmonary shunt obtained by the Berggren shunt equation from arterial and central venous blood samples.

    Measured: 5 min after administration of dopamine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dopamine administration in people with Dopamine and Bronchodilation, run by Szeged University at 1 site in Hungary.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2021. 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 Hungary. 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?

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?

Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) (time frame: 5 min after administration of dopamine). 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 12 Feb 2021.
