Sponsored by: Duke University
Information provided by: Duke University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00571441
  Purpose

We hypothesize that the stroke volume variation measured using the commercially available LiDCO monitor provides a reasonable estimate of volume when compared to standard measures. This study will collate data that is already being collected by the bedside nurses.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Stroke volume variation [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Biospecimen Retention:   None Retained

Biospecimen Description:

Estimated Enrollment: 45
Study Start Date: December 2007
Study Completion Date: December 2008
Primary Completion Date: September 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
Primary
All subjects are included in this group, non-randomized observational study.

Detailed Description:

Objective: To compare measurement of stroke volume variance with intake/output measurements, weight, BUN/Creatnine values, and central venous pressure.

Design: Non-experimental, non-randomized observational comparative study.

Setting: The sixteen bed Neurocritical Care Unit at Duke University Hospital.

Patients: 45 adult (over 18 years) subjects with intracranial pathology who require volume resuscitation. Only patients with current LiDCO monitoring will be considered eligible for inclusion in the study.

Interventions: This is an observational study. Subjects will receive standard-of-care treatment without additional intervention.

Data Analysis: All data will be collected by the principal investigator / study coordinator. Personal patient information will be removed (deidentified) from the permanent data collection records to protect patient confidentiality. Data collected will be entered into a Microsoft Excel electronic spreadsheet and will be saved on a USB Disk drive to be stored in a locked cabinet in the investigator's office. Statistical analysis using SAS v9.1, (Cary, NC) will be conducted with a level of significance set at .05 (alpha) using standardized comparative analysis techniques.
