About this study

Official title: Target-controlled Propofol Infusion as a Technique of Anesthesia for Surgery of Hip Fracture Under Ultrasound Guidance Lumbar and Sacral Plexus Block or Lumbar, Sacral and Paravertebral Nerve Block in the Elderly

The investigators aim to examine target-controlled propofol infusion as a technique of anesthesia for surgery of hip fracture under ultrasound guidance lumbar and sacral plexus block or lumbar, sacral and paravertebral nerve block in the elderly; and to evaluate which regional anesthesia was more sufficient for the old.

Read the detailed description

Eighty patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) Ⅰ-Ⅲ older than 80 years are randomly assigned to 2 groups: a lumbar and sacral plexus block(LS) group with 20ml 0.5% ropivacaine at lumbar plexus(level L3-4) and 10ml 0.5%ropivacaine at sacral plexus; a lumbar, sacral plexus and paravertebral nerve block(LSP) group with 20ml 0.5% ropivacaine at lumbar plexus(level L3-4) , 10ml 0.5%ropivacaine at sacral plexus and 10ml 0.5%ropivacaine at paravertebral nerve(level L1). The target-controlled propofol infusion is started immediately after positioning the patient on the operating table. The initial target concentration was 0.5μg/mL. The infusion rate is adjusted every 5min by increasing or decreasing the target concentration by 0.2μg/mL steps based on the patients' respiratory rate(RR), blood pressure(BP), heart rate(HR), and level of sedation(score of 5 on Ramsay Sedation Scale ). The minimal, maximal, optimal target concentration, cumulative propofol dose, frequency of spontaneous movement and incidences of associated complications are recorded. Patients were phoned for followup and questioned for activity status in one year. If the patients were dead, date of death; if they survived, daily living activity questioned.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing paravertebral nerve and lumbar and sacral plexus block in people with Anesthesia; Reaction, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's 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 2 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2014. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

cumulative propofol dose (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 Dec 2014.
