NIVIA-Hemodynamics

Noninvasive Versus Invasive Assessment of Hemodynamics in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit


Sponsor

University Health Network, Toronto

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Jul 17, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is an investigator-initiated, single-center, single-arm prospective study to compare non-invasive hemodynamic assessment using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and lung ultrasound (LUS) and hemodynamic assessment using PAC. Patients who have been hemodynamically assessed using PAC will be invited to participate. Each patient will undergo TTE and LUS immediately after first invasive assessment, and again daily after PAC assessments.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study — called NIVIA-Hemodynamics — is investigating how to better measure and monitor blood flow and heart function in critically ill patients in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) using a specialized catheter placed in the heart's blood vessels (a pulmonary artery catheter, or PAC). Researchers want to understand how hemodynamic measurements (how blood moves through the heart and lungs) can guide treatment decisions. **You may be eligible if:** - You are admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) - A pulmonary artery catheter has been placed in you as part of your standard medical care **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You are already enrolled in another clinical trial with an active treatment arm Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTEchocardiography and lung ultrasound

All patients will undergo non-invasive echocardiogram and lung ultrasound at times of assessment of hemodynamic parameters as needed by usual clinical management.
