About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study of Haemodynamic Changes Between Prone and Supine Emergence From Anaesthesia in Lumbar Disc Surgery

Compare haemodynamic changes and to evaluate the incidence of coughing, laryngospasm, loss of monitoring in patients undergoing lumbar disc surgery extubated in prone position and supine position.

Read the detailed description

Tracheal irritation from the endotracheal tube, with subsequent coughing is common during emergence from general anaesthesia supine position and is often thought not to be a complication, but a physiological response to protect the airway from aspiration, although the side-effects of this vital reflex may be highly undesirable in clinical practice.

Coughing not only causes significant patient discomfort, but it may also cause hypertension, tachycardia, and increased intracranial, intraocular, and intra-abdominal pressure, which may lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, or surgical complications. Supine extubation also leads increased incidences of breath holding, laryngospasm, coughing, and monitor disconnection. These haemodynamic and airway responses are largely related movement of endotracheal tube during rolling of patients back to supine position during lighter depth of anaesthesia at conclusion of surgery. Coughing, breath holding, and laryngospasm also related to pooling of secretions to dependent patients airway in supine position.

Various techniques and drugs for the prevention of cardiovascular response and coughing during emergence have been studied, including extubation in a deep plane of anaesthesia, administration of intravenous drugs such as esmolol, lidocaine, short-acting opioids, or dexmedetomidine, and intracuff lidocaine. A reliable means of preventing undesired coughing has not been demonstrated to date.

Emergence in prone position has been found to be associated with less hemodynamic alterations, less coughing, laryngospasm, vomiting and monitor disconnections in patients undergoing lumbar surgery. There is a paucity of data regarding safety and efficacy of emergence from anaesthesia in prone position. The investigators present our initial experience of emergence from anaesthesia in prone position as compared to supine position in normotensive patients undergoing lumbar surgery in prone position.

  • Prone and Supine emergence from anaesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    Aims: The aim of this study was to compare haemodynamic changes and to evaluate the incidence of coughing, laryngospasm, loss of monitoring in patients undergoing lumbar disc surgery extubated in prone position and supine position. Settings and design: This open-level prospective randomized study was carried out in 50 patients who were admitted for elective lumbar surgery. Methods: The patients were randomly allocated to one of the two groups of 25 each at conclusion of surgery. First group was extubated in prone position and second in supine position at conclusion of surgery. Supine group patients were rolled back and prone group patients were left undisturbed. Extubation was done after complete reversal of neuromuscular block. Heart rates, Mean Arterial Pressure were noted at various points of time. Coughing, laryngospasm, vomiting, monitor disconnection if any were also noted. Statistical methods: Data was analyzed using

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart rate changes from conclusion of surgery to extubation

    Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were recorded each minute till extubation Coughs, vomiting, laryngospasm and monitor disconnections were also recorded from conclusion of surgery (T0) till extubation.

    Measured: From conlusion surgery to extubation of patient

  2. Mean arterial pressure changes during emergence from anaesthesia

    Heart rate and mean arterial pressure were recorded each minute till extubation Coughs, vomiting, laryngospasm and monitor disconnections were also recorded from conclusion of surgery (T0) till extubation.

    Measured: From conclusion of surgery to extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prone and Supine emergence from anaesthesia in people with Haemodynamic Changes During During Emergence and Airway Response During Emergence, run by KVG Medical College and Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 28 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Heart rate changes from conclusion of surgery to extubation (time frame: From conlusion surgery to extubation of patient). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Sep 2011.
