NCT ID NCT04926220

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

During major surgery, doctors often need to know how much blood the heart is pumping. Esophageal Doppler is a standard method, but it requires a probe in the food pipe. This trial compares two devices that estimate cardiac output from arterial blood pressure waveforms, MostCareUp and Argos, against esophageal Doppler in 36 adults having surgery or interventional radiology under general anesthesia. Researchers measure how well the three methods agree when blood pressure or fluid levels change.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cardiac output monitoring devices: esophageal Doppler, MostCareUp waveform analysis, and Argos monitor
What this could lead to
If the waveform methods track cardiac output as well as esophageal Doppler, doctors could estimate blood flow without placing an esophageal probe.
What could go wrong
The trial is small, with 36 participants, and compares measurements rather than patient outcomes. The methods may not agree closely enough during real hemodynamic changes to replace esophageal Doppler.
