Trial Outcomes & Findings for PROtecting Maternal Brains From Injury and Stroke (NCT NCT05726279)

NCT ID: NCT05726279

Last Updated: 2026-03-18

Results Overview

The total time (in minutes) each participant had their mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) values within their computed limits of autoregulation will be measured. The primary outcome is the percentage of time the MAP is outside the personalized limits of autoregulation.

Measure
Observational Cohort
Participants treated with standard guideline-based care for 24 hours. Blood pressure treatment thresholds will be used according to standard practice parameters
Interventional Cohort
Autoregulation-guided blood pressure management for 24 hours. Blood pressure will be measured every four hours by arm cuff; however, in lieu of predetermined blood pressure treatment thresholds, an optimal mean arterial pressure (MAP) range will be chosen based on limits of autoregulation calculated in real-time for the previous four hours for each participant. Choice of medications and dosing will be left to the primary clinical obstetrics team.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Population: In the observational arm, data from five participants were unusable due to too little time connected (n=1) or data was corrupted during transfer from monitoring system (n=4).

The total time (in minutes) each participant had their mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) values within their computed limits of autoregulation will be measured. The primary outcome is the percentage of time the MAP is outside the personalized limits of autoregulation.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Number of participants with neurological symptoms. Neurological symptoms are defined as ≥ 8 out of 10 headache pain (on a self-reported scale of 0 to 10, where a higher score indicates greater pain) or blurred vision.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Population: Data was not analyzed for this outcome due to early termination of the study.

Tissue oxygenation index (TOI) is defined as the ratio of oxygenated to total tissue hemoglobin as measured by NIRS. After initial securing of Foresight cerebral forehead oximetry adhesive stickers, baseline TOI will be recorded after two minutes of monitoring. Hyperperfusion will be defined as a \>2% increase from baseline TOI.

Tissue oxygenation index (TOI) is defined as the ratio of oxygenated to total tissue hemoglobin as measured by NIRS. After initial securing of Foresight cerebral forehead oximetry adhesive stickers, baseline TOI will be recorded after two minutes of monitoring. Hypoperfusion will be defined as \>13% decrease from baseline TOI.
