Speckle-tracking Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion

August 30, 2023 updated by: University of Nebraska

Validation of Speckle-tracking Echocardiography Measurements of Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion During Transesophageal Echocardiography

The study is designed to validate the use of speckle-tracking echocardiography to measure tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion as a measurement of right ventricular function during transesophageal echocardiography.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  1. Use of speckle-tracking echocardiography to validate tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion measurements with transesophageal echocardiography.
  2. This study intends to validate the use of speckle-tracking echocardiography to measure the distance the tricuspid annulus moves during the systolic phase. The guideline articles regarding right ventricular function suggest m-mode measurements from the transthoracic approach and the same measurements may underestimate the actual distance on transesophageal echocardiography. This speckle-tracking technology will allow this distance to be measured despite its often non-parallel motion to the ultrasound beam, which otherwise limits the reliability of the valve recorded.
  3. All subjects undergoing a planned surgical procedure in which the use of transesophageal echocardiography would be used regardless for their management.
  4. No interventions, only evaluation of the measurements obtained with transthoracic echocardiography compared to transesophageal echocardiography.
  5. No follow-up, study will be completed at the time of image acquisition.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

19 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All subjects will be scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia and either due to subject factors or procedure factors, the use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring will occur. These subjects will then have both transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiographic measurements of one variable of right ventricular function to validate the results from the transesophageal window.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All subjects who are scheduled to undergo general anesthesia and concurrently will be managed with intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography will be included in potential subjects.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who do not have adequate transesophageal and/or transthoracic imaging windows to allow for accurate analysis of tricuspid annular motion.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Intraoperative Patient
All patients in the cohort will be scheduled to undergo a planned surgical procedure in which the subject will undergo general anesthesia and the procedure and/or the patient will require transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring for the procedure.
Other: Concurrent TTE and TEE
All subjects will undergo both transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography to compare the results of measurements obtained from both imaging locations.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Measure Description
Time Frame

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
