  • Ages 45 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: The files of patients who were operated on under intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) in orthopedics clinics between January 2009 and January 2010 were retrospectively investigated. A total of 312 patients, 164 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and 148 patients with trigger finger were operated on under IVRA. Out of 164 patients who were operated on due to carpal tunnel syndrome, 50 patients in which either calcium channel blockers or beta blockers were used for treatment of critical blood pressure increase after tourniquet inflation and in which whole data were obtained, were included in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients operated due to carpal tunnel syndrome under intravenous regional anesthesia betweem January 2009 and January 2010.

Who cannot join

  • The patients that the files could not be reached

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Calcium-channel Blockers and Beta Blockers in Tourniquet-induced Hypertension During Intravenous Regional Anesthesia

The investigators aimed to investigate the efficacy of calcium channel blockers and beta blockers for controlling tourniquet induced blood pressure increase in patients undergoing carpal tunnel operations with IVRA. For this purpose files of patients undergoing operation under IVRA were retrospectively examined in terms of demographical and hemodynamic variables.

Read the detailed description

After approval of the University Research Ethics Committee, the files of patients who have been operated under intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) in orthopedics clinics between January 2009 and January 2010 were retrospectively investigated. A total of 312 patients, 164 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and 148 patients with trigger finger have been operated under IVRA. Out of 164 patients who have been operated due to carpal tunnel syndrome, 50 patients in which either calcium channel blockers or beta blockers were used for treatment of critical blood pressure increase after tourniquet inflation and in which whole data were obtained, were included to the study.The patients with systolic blood pressure above to 150 mmHg following tourniquet inflation and in which bolus dose of diltiazem 10 mg (Group I) or calcium channel blocker 0.5mg/kg (Group II) have been administered by intravenous route constituted the study groups. Demographical characteristics and hemodynamic parameters were recorded from the patient files.

What participants receive

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

  • Calcium channel blocker and beta blockerDrug

    Also called Diltizem , Brevibloc

    The patients in which systolic blood pressure increased to 150 mmHg and above following tourniquet inflation and in which a bolus dose of calcium channel blocker 10 mg (Diltizem, Mustafa Nevzat İlaç Sanayi Aş) (Group I) or beta blocker 0.5mg/kg (Brevibloc, Eczacıbaşı İlaç Sanayi Aş) (Group II) were administered intravenously constituted the study groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by Ankara University.

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 18 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.

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?

Decrease in blood pressure (time frame: 2 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 18 Dec 2014.
