Correlation of Estimated Continuous Cardias Output (esCCO) and Picco in Partial Liver Resection

February 12, 2012 updated by: Christoph Schramm, M.D., Heidelberg University

Pilot Study to Examine the Correlation of 'Estimated Continuous Cardias Output' (esCCO) With Pulse Contour Analysis of the Arterial Waveform (Picco) in Partial Liver Resection

The purpose of this study is to determine the measuring accuracy of the truly non-invasive method estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) against the reference method pulse contour analysis of the arterial waveform (Picco) in partial liver resection. esCCO is calculated using the pulse wave transit time, which is defined as the time between the R-wave of the ECG and a 30% increase of the differentiated pulseoximetry waveform.

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The objective is to compare two methods of cardiac output measurement: the new non-invasive method called esCCO™ (by Nihon Kohden, Tokyo, Japan) and the established more invasive method PiCCO™ (by PULSION Medical Systems, Munich, Germany). esCCO™ is a completely non-invasive method that could provide a cardiac output measurement in a large range of patients because of an extremely low risk benefit balance. Thus the valuable information of cardiac output in combination with standard patient monitoring could be integrated in the assessment and clinical handling of a patients circulatory system.

In previous Japanese studies, esCCO™ was tested against the pulmonary artery catheter in patients undergoing heart surgery. Because of promising results in those studies, the validity of the method is now tested in patients scheduled for partial liver resection as a major visceral surgery intervention. Partial liver resection is a medium to high risk surgical intervention because of the extended blood supply of the organ. High and sudden blood loss can easily occur during the operation. Measurement period starts at the beginning of anesthesiologic induction and is continued until the extubation at the end of the intervention.

The algorithm for esCCO™ -measurement is integrated in an approved patient monitor that replaces the standard patient monitor during the measurement-period. The PiCCO™-device is added on the same rack and a cable connects the PiCCO™-device to the patient monitor. To assure maximum quality of the reference method, a thermodilution for PiCCO™-calibration is accomplished every 30 minutes.

In the study protocol, events like esCCO™ - and PiCCO™-calibration time, catheter positioning time, changes of the patient's position, ventilation settings, volume in- and output and drug administration, patients's data and diagnoses are logged. Vital parameters from the patient monitor including the PiCCO™-cardiac output values are recorded every second in real time on a study laptop mounted on the same rack as the patient monitor and the PiCCO™ device but separated electrically from the other devices.

A total of 30 patients shall be investigated in the study during a planned study time of approximately 6 months. The ethics committee of the University of Heidelberg gave their consent to the study (S-188/2011). The investigators will approximately receive 1080 data pairs when averaging the values every 5 minutes with a mean duration of the surgical procedure of 3 hours.

For statistical analysis, a Bland-Altman-test for multiple values in one patient, a t-test for depending values, correlation graphics and a regression equation will be performed.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
