About this study

Official title: Prevention of Postspinal Hypotension After Spinal Anesthesia for Caesarian Section, the Comparison of Crystalloid and Colloid Infusions and Their Timing Via Perfusion Index and Plethysmographic Variability Index

Prevention of postspinal hypotension after spinal anesthesia for caesarian section by use of preoperative or intraoperative volume replacement. The comparison of crystalloid and colloid infusions and their timing via perfusion index and plethysmographic variability index.

Read the detailed description

To Prevent hypotension fluid replacement is usually used in pregnant patients scheduled for C/S. Different types of fluids can be used in order to achieve this. Also the timing of fluid replacement is important. In the present study patients were separated into 4 groups. Each receiving a one of two fluids in different times. ( Colloid pre-load, colloid co-load, crystalloid co-load and crystalloid pre-load.) The effect of overall hemodynamics and the incidence of hypotension are evaluated. Also peripheric monitors like perfusion index and plethysmographic variability index are evaluated for correlation.

Being tested
Colloid Preload, colloid co-load, Crystalloid preload, Crystalloid Co-load

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants in each group who develop hypotension, and correlation between hypotension and Perfusion Index (PI) and Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI) scores

    Hypotension is going tobe measured in mmHG in 5 minute intervals and PI and PVI measurements are also recorded at the same time intervals. A decrease in blood presssure exceeding % 20 of the preoperative basal blood pressure measurement will be recorded as hypotension. The number of patients who develop hypotension will be recorded. Statistic difference will be avaluated between groups. Hypotensive episodes are going to be comparised with the PI and PVI measurements at the same time period and evaluation for correlation will be performed.

    Measured: Measurements will be performed at 5 minute intervals beginning 15 minutes prior to the operation, throughout the whole operation untill the end.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Colloid Preload, colloid co-load and Crystalloid preload in people with Complications; Anesthesia, Spinal and Epidural, in Pregnancy, run by Balikesir University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 22 Jan 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Number of participants in each group who develop hypotension, and correlation between hypotension and Perfusion Index (PI) and Plethysmographic Variability Index (PVI) scores (time frame: Measurements will be performed at 5 minute intervals beginning 15 minutes prior to the operation, throughout the whole operation untill the end.). 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 22 Jan 2020.
