Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Acute Kidney Injury | Diagnostic Test: Serial ultrasound assessments for GDT Diagnostic Test: Usual care | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 720 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Randomization will not occur at the individual patient level. Instead, assessment techniques (US-guided versus usual care) will be randomly assigned to care team clusters. Because teams change each month, the assignment will be to US-guided care during the first half or the second half of the month. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Diagnostic |
Official Title: | Guidance of Ultrasound in Intensive Care to Direct Euvolemia: A Cluster Randomized Crossover Comparative Effectiveness Trial (GUIDE Trial) |
Actual Study Start Date : | September 6, 2019 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | October 31, 2020 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | October 31, 2020 |

- Number of acute kidney injury (AKI)-free days [ Time Frame: within 7 days of injury ]
AKI will be defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, and all stages will be considered AKI:
Stage 1 - Serum Creatinine 1.5-1.9 times baseline or ≥0.3 mg/dL increase Stage 2 - Serum Creatinine 2-2.9 times baseline Stage 3 - Serum Creatinine 3 times baseline or Increase in serum creatinine to ≥4 mg/dL or Initiation of renal replacement therapy
- Proportion of patients who receive 3 or more Ultrasound Volume Assessments [ Time Frame: within 24 hours of ICU admission ]
- Number of participants with AKI [ Time Frame: within the first 7 days of ICU admission ]
AKI will be defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, and all stages will be considered AKI:
Stage 1 - Serum Creatinine 1.5-1.9 times baseline or ≥0.3 mg/dL increase Stage 2 - Serum Creatinine 2-2.9 times baseline Stage 3 - Serum Creatinine 3 times baseline or Increase in serum creatinine to ≥4 mg/dL or Initiation of renal replacement therapy
- Stage of AKI [ Time Frame: within the first 7 days of ICU admission ]
AKI will be defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, and all stages will be considered AKI:
