Trial summary

The planned cesarean section is an intervention with a standard operating time of less than 40 minutes in trained teams. Hyperbaric Bupivacaine is the local anesthetic (LA) reference for these operations. But the duration of its motor block is generally greater than 3 hours. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Duration of Motor Block After Spinal Anesthesia for Planned Cesarean Sections: Hyperbaric Prilocaïne Versus Hyperbaric Bupivacaine

The planned cesarean section is an intervention with a standard operating time of less than 40 minutes in trained teams. Hyperbaric Bupivacaine is the local anesthetic (LA) reference for these operations. But the duration of its motor block is generally greater than 3 hours. The purpose of this study is to show a reduction in motor block time with hyperbaric Prilocaine by at least 30 minutes, which would allow mothers and their children to return to the maternity ward earlier and thus improve the circulation of patients within the maternity's PACU.

Read the detailed description

Prospective study, randomized into two parallel groups (Hyperbaric Prilocaïne versus hyperbaric Bupivacaine), double-blind, monocentric (Clinique Saint Roch in Montpellier).

The number of subjects required is 50 patients, 25 per group.

What is being measured

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

  1. duration of motor block

    To compare the duration of motor block after spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric Prilocaïne versus hyperbaric Bupivacaine This evaluation is done every 15 min from the entrance to the recovery room (PACU); the motor block stops being evaluated when the modified bromination score reaches 4

    Measured: up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. The upper sensory level

    The upper sensory level obtained 15 minutes after the LA injection

    Measured: 15 minutes after the LA injection

  2. Hypotensive episodes

    Hypotensive episodes

    Measured: 1 day

  3. The time between injection and incision

    The time between injection and incision

    Measured: 1 day

  4. The duration of the intervention

    The duration of the intervention

    Measured: 1 day

  5. The time to return to the standard maternity ward

    The time to return to the standard maternity ward

    Measured: 1 day

  6. APGAR score of newborns at birth

    APGAR score of newborns at birth. L'APGAR Apgar score is a method to quickly summarize the health of newborn children.

    The Apgar scale is determined by evaluating the newborn baby on five simple criteria on a scale from zero to two, then summing up the five values thus obtained. The resulting Apgar score ranges from zero to 10. The five criteria are summarized using words chosen to form a backronym (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration).

    The test is generally done at one and five minutes after birth, and may be repeated later if the score is and remains low. Scores 7 and above are generally normal, 4 to 6 fairly low, and 3 and below are generally regarded as critically low.

    Measured: 1 day

  7. The delay between spinal anesthesia and the first emergency analgesic injection

    The delay between spinal anesthesia and the first emergency analgesic injection

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Assessment of pain (VAS)

    Pain on arrival and departure of PACU and at 24 hours. Pain will be assessedby VAS (Visual Analogue Scale); Patients rate pain on VAS from 0-10, 0 being no pain and 10 being the worst pain imaginable..

    Measured: 1 day

  9. The delay between spinal anesthesia and the first injection of second-line analgesia

    The delay between spinal anesthesia and the first injection of second-line analgesia : delay between spinal anesthesia ans the need of rescue analgesia

    Measured: 1 day

  10. The presence of neuro-sensory disorders within 24 hours postoperatively

    The presence of neuro-sensory disorders within 24 hours postoperatively

    Measured: 1 day

  11. The presence of post lumbar puncture syndrome

    The presence of post lumbar puncture syndrome

    Measured: 1 day

  12. score de satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction score at 24 hours will be assessed by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale); Patients rate satisfaction on VAS from 0-10, 0 being no satisfaction and 10 being total satisfaction

    Measured: 1 day

  13. Statifaction of the Surgeon

    The surgeon assessed his satisfaction while the cesarien section. The surgeon satisfaction score at 24 hours will be assessed by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale); Surgeon rate satisfaction on VAS from 0-10, 0 being no satisfaction and 10 being total satisfaction.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing spinal anesthesia in people with Cesarean, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2018. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact christophe DADURE, MD, PhD (467338256 ext. 33, c-dadure@chu-montpellier.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

duration of motor block (time frame: up to 6 hours). 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 NCT03433976, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Dec 2018.
