About this study

Official title: Safety Control Study in Pediatric Inguinal Hernia Repair: Are Muscle Relaxants Necessary? Endotracheal Intubation vs Laryngeal Mask Airway

In prospective, safety-control study; children undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using PIRS (Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing) method will be randomly assigned into four groups. Gr 1: Endotracheal intubation and muscle relaxant, Gr 2: Endotracheal Intubation without muscle relaxant, Gr 3: Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway without muscle relaxant, Gr 4: Proseal Laryngeal Mask Airway with subparalytic does muscle relaxant. Apart from standard monitorization, all patients' intragastric pressures will also be monitored. Patients' age at presentation, gender, time of surgery, time of anesthesia, intragastric pressure, intraabdominal pressure, intraoperative findings and complications will be noted and compared between groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ETT, Proseal LMA and Rocuronium in people with Inguinal Hernia and Endotracheal Intubation, run by Maltepe 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 1 Jun 2016. 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?

Surgery Time (time frame: Intraoperative). The study lists 4 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 NCT02696837, which also lists 5 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 1 Jun 2016.
