Augmented Pacing for Shock in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit

NCT06713668 · Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if backup pacing at an increased rate improves hemodynamics in adults with relative bradycardia, a permanent pacemaker, and cardiogenic shock. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does increasing the backup pacing rate to 100 beats per minute lead to improved cardiac index compared to a backup pacing rate of 75 beats per minute

Participants who are already hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit with a permanent pacemaker and pulmonary artery catheter in place will be enrolled in this study. Participants will be exposed to each pacemaker rate in a randomized order with hemodynamics assessed after 10 minutes at each rate.

Conditions

  • Cardiogenic Shock
  • Bradycardia
  • Shock

Interventions

DEVICE

Backup Pacing Rate Change

Patients will have backup pacing programmed to A (75 bpm) and B (100 bpm), randomizing to sequence of exposure A-B or B-A
