Trial summary

It is known that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) causes a decrease in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid in the lumbar and lower thoracic region, which may contribute to the development of more high spinal block. Read more about this study

About this study

It is known that an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) causes a decrease in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid in the lumbar and lower thoracic region, which may contribute to the development of more high spinal block.

Read the detailed description

There is a hypothesis, the higher the level of intra-abdominal pressure, the greater the likelihood of developing a high-level (=>Th4) sensor block.

Being tested
Measurement of IAP

What participants receive

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

  • Measurement of IAPProcedure or surgery

    The level of intra-abdominal pressure was measured via a Foley catheter through the urinary bladder. After the introduction of a 30 mL of warm saline. Measurement of the water column in the system was made from the zero level to the mid-axillary line, for 10 minutes, after quiet breathing pregnant at the time of expiration.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Level of Intra-abdominal Pressure (IAP)

    Measurement of IAP: The level of intra-abdominal pressure was measured via a Foley catheter through the urinary bladder. After the introduction of a 30 mL of warm saline. Measurement of the water column in the system was made from the zero level to the mid-axillary line, after quiet breathing pregnant at the time of expiration. The data obtained are in inches of water column were translated in millimeters of mercury.

    Measured: Before spinal anesthesia, average 10 minutes.

  2. Classification Grade of Intra-abdominal Hypertension (IAH)

    Average IAP in pregnant women with different Grade of intra-abdominal hypertension Physiological norm (≤11,99 mm Hg) Grade I (12 - 15.99 mm Hg) Grade II (16 - 20.99 mm Hg) Grade III (21 - 25.99 mm Hg)

    Measured: Before spinal anesthesia, average 10 minutes.

  3. Obesity and IAP

    Effect of obesity on the level of IAP

    Measured: Before spinal anesthesia, average 10 minutes.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Level of Sensory Blocks

    Block level of thoracic vertebrae are reported for pregnant women who had level of sensory block higher than 4 thoracic vertebra and less than 5 thoracic vertebra

    Measured: After spinal anesthesia, average 20 minutes.

  2. The Level of IAP

    The level of IAP in obstetric patients in the groups with high ( => Th4) and low (< = Th5) blocks

    Measured: After spinal anesthesia, average 20 minutes.

  3. Number of Pregnants With Blocks = > Th4 With IAP Higher or Less Than 16 mm Hg

    Measured: After spinal anesthesia, average 20 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measurement of IAP in people with Obstetric Anesthesia Problems and High-Risk Pregnancy, run by Tver Regional Perinatal Center at 1 site in Russia.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2019. 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 Russia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Oct 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Level of Intra-abdominal Pressure (IAP) (time frame: Before spinal anesthesia, average 10 minutes.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02237092, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Jan 2019.
