Concordance Study of Therapeutic Decision-making in Patients With Shock Based on Hemodynamic Monitoring

Sponsor: University Hospital, Angers

Summary

Shock is a serious complication corresponding to acute circulatory failure resulting in multiorgan failure and death. In order to improve cellular oxygen utilization, several therapies can be used. To select one of them, the monitoring of cardiac output is helpful. However, there are several methods used in current practice in intensive care for evaluating hemodynamic. Currently, in patients with acute circulatory failure, no study has compared the concordance of therapeutic decision-making based on transpulmonary thermodilution or transthoracic echocardiography. The objective of the PICC-ECHO study is thus to assess the concordance of therapeutic decision-making by several experts, based on data from transpulmonary thermodilution or transthoracic echocardiography. Indeed, the investigators hypothesize that performing hemodynamic monitoring based on transpulmonary thermodilution or transthoracic echocardiography does not lead to the same therapeutic management in patients in shock.
