Trial summary

The pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery in pediatrics has the potential to cause an increase of intracranial pressure (ICP). Previous studies have proposed that ultrasonographic measurements of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) correlate with signs of increased ICP. Read more about this study

About this study

The pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery in pediatrics has the potential to cause an increase of intracranial pressure (ICP). Previous studies have proposed that ultrasonographic measurements of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) correlate with signs of increased ICP. Therefore, this study aims to confirm the increased ICP by ultrasonographic measurement of ONSD during laparoscopic surgery in pediatric patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameterDevice

    A thick layer of gel is applied on the upper closed eyelid. The linear 13- to 6-MHz ultrasound probe is then placed in the gel, without exerting pressure on the eye. Two measurements are taken for each optic nerve: one in the transverse plane, with the probe being horizontal, and one in the sagittal plane, with the probe being vertical. The final ONSD is the mean of these measurements.

What is being measured

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

  1. ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter

    A thick layer of gel is applied on the upper closed eyelid. The linear 13- to 6-MHz ultrasound probe is then placed in the gel, without exerting pressure on the eye. Two measurements are taken for each optic nerve: one in the transverse plane, with the probe being horizontal, and one in the sagittal plane, with the probe being vertical. The final ONSD is the mean of these measurements.

    Measured: change of ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath in 10 minutes after anesthesia induction, 10 minutes after pneumoperitoneum, and 10 minutes after CO2 desufflation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Pressure, run by Yonsei University 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 27 Sep 2013. 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?

ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (time frame: change of ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath in 10 minutes after anesthesia induction, 10 minutes after pneumoperitoneum, and 10 minutes after CO2 desufflation.). 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 27 Sep 2013.
