About this study

Official title: Hemodynamics Effects of Left Lateral Tilt on the Full Term Pregnant Females

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of different angles of lateral tilt on the maternal hemodynamics before and after spinal anesthesia

Read the detailed description

At operating room, patients will be monitored using non invasive blood, ECG, pulse oximeter and electrical cardiometry. Baseline readings will be taken in supine position then repeated after putting the patient in left lateral position with angle 15 then 30 degrees.

Then two IV lines will be inserted and 500cc crystalloid will be administered. Subarachnoid block will be performed in sitting position under complete aseptic conditions using 25 g spinal needle. Subarachnoid block will be achieved by injecting 10 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine plus 25 ug fentanyl. The block will be considered successful if adequate block reached T4 dermatome.

After successful block the hemodynamic variables will be recorded in the same positions as before (0,15, 30 degrees left uterine tilt).

A minimum number of 61 patients was calculated to have a study power of 80% and alpha error of 0.05.

SPSS Chicago 18 software will be used for data analysis. Categorical data will be presented as frequencies, continuous variables will presented as mean ± standard deviation and will be analyzed using on way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc pairwise comparisons using bonferroni test. A P value of 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

What participants receive

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

  • electric cardiometryProcedure or surgery

    The following measured variables were recorded using electric cardiometry heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance.

    these parameters are measured on arrival to operating room before subarachnoid block in three different angles of lateral uterine tilt ( 0, 15 and 30 degrees )

  • IV line insertionProcedure or surgery

    two Iv lines are inserted and 500cc crystalloid is administered to parturient .

  • spinal anesthesia ( subarachnoid block )Procedure or surgery

    Subarachnoid block (SAB) was performed in sitting position under complete asepsis using 25 g spinal needle. SAB was achieved by intrathecal injection of 10 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine plus 25ug fentanyl. Success of SAB was tested within five minutes after drug injection. SAB was considered successful if adequate block reached T4 dermatome.

  • electric cardiometryProcedure or surgery

    after SAB the following measured variables were recorded using electric cardiometry heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance at three different angles of left uterine lilt (0,15,30 degrees)

What is being measured

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

  1. change in cardiac output (L/min) before anesthesia

    measured by electric cardiometry (ICON; Cardiotonic, Osypka; Berlin, Germany).

    Measured: baseline : 5min after putting the patient in supine position then 1min after left uterine tilt at 15 and 30 degrees

  2. change in cardiac output (L/min) after spinal anesthesia

    measured by electric cardiometry (ICON; Cardiotonic, Osypka; Berlin, Germany).

    Measured: baseline after assessing adequate block reaching T4 dermatome then 1 min after left uterine tilt at 15 and 30 degrees

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. change in systemic vascular resistance (dyn.s/cm5)

    Measured: baseline : 5min after putting the patient in supine position ( at 0, 15, 30 left uterine tilt ). Then 1 min after assuring adequate level of spinal block

  2. change in mean arterial blood pressure (mmHg)

    measured by oscillometry in mmHg

    Measured: baseline : 5min after putting the patient in supine position ( at 0, 15, 30 left uterine tilt ). Then 1 min after assuring adequate level of spinal block

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing electric cardiometry, IV line insertion and spinal anesthesia ( subarachnoid block ) in people with Cardiac Output, run by Cairo 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 7 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 12 Jul 2016. 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?

change in cardiac output (L/min) before anesthesia (time frame: baseline : 5min after putting the patient in supine position then 1min after left uterine tilt at 15 and 30 degrees). The study lists 2 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 NCT02828176, which also lists 4 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 12 Jul 2016.
