About this study

This prospective randomized double-blind dose-response study is aimed to investigate the ED50 and ED95 of intrathecal bupivacaine with or without epinephrine 100 mcg for total knee replacement arthroplasty.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing total knee replacement arthroplasty are randomly assigned to six bupivacaine dose group (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 mg). Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia would be performed. The dose would be considered as successful if no epidural supplement was required during surgery. A probit analysis will be performed to calculate the ED50 and ED95 of intrathecal bupivacaine with or without epinephrine for total knee replacement arthroplasty.

After these measurements, ED50 and ED95 of bupivacaine with epinephrine would be compared with those without epinephrine.

Being tested
intrathecal bupivacaine 6 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine, intrathecal bupivacaine 7 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine, intrathecal bupivacaine 8 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine, intrathecal bupivacaine 9 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine, intrathecal bupivacaine 10 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the success of anesthesia

    The individual dose would be considered to be successful if no epidural supplement is required during surgery.

    Measured: during the surgery (average two hours)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse effects of the various intrathecal bupivacaine dose

    lowest systolic blood pressure, vasopressure requirements, nausea, vomitting

    Measured: during surgery (average two hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intrathecal bupivacaine 6 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine, intrathecal bupivacaine 7 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine and intrathecal bupivacaine 8 mg with 100 mcg of epinephrine in people with Spinal Anesthesia and Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty, run by Seoul Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the success of anesthesia (time frame: during the surgery (average two hours)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2012.
