About this study

Official title: Appraisal of the Exactness of a Method to Semiinvasively Evaluate the Cardiac Output of ICU-Patients Through the Use of the Pulsioflex Device

Goal of the Study is to Study the precision of semi-invasive cardiac index monitoring by means of the ProAQT (PULSION Medical Systems SE) sensor, whereby the pulmonary artery catheter will serve as gold standard.

Read the detailed description

Goal of the Study is to Study the precision of semi-invasive cardiac index monitoring by means of the ProAQT (PULSION Medical Systems SE) sensor, whereby the pulmonary artery catheter will serve as gold standard.

Measurements will be performed contemporaly with both devices every 4 hours and all clinical and hemodynmaic parameters will be recorded, including but not limited to central venous pressure, wege pressure, mechanical ventilation pressures, blood pressures, volume balance as well as vasoaktive medikation doses. This precise evaluation shall serve to evaluate the precision of the ProAQT to estimate the cardiac index under different clinical situation in the intensive care unit. A precision difference of below 30% between both methods will be regarded as clinically irrelevant, suggesting equipoise between both methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiogenic Shock, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 5 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 8 Jun 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 Switzerland. 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?

Bias of proAQT measurement (time frame: 51 Hours). 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 NCT04911985, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 Jun 2021.
