About this study

Official title: Plasma Ropivacaine Concentrations After Peripheral Nerve Block in Patients With Severe Renal Dysfunction

This prospective observational study aimed to examine the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine in patients with chronic kidney disease after sciatic nerve block.

Sciatic nerve block for foot and ankle surgery will be performed using ropivacaine under ultrasound-guidance, and arterial blood test will be taken for total plasma ropivacaine concentration at 2.5, 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 6, 24 hours after sciatic nerve block.

Being tested
Sciatic nerve block

What participants receive

  • Sciatic nerve blockProcedure or surgery

    Also called Popliteal block

    Sciatic nerve block will be performed using ropivacaine (2.5mg/kg) under ultrasound-guidance with nerve stimulator.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma concentration of unbound ropivacaine

    whether the unbound plasma concentration of ropivacaine was maintained under 0.56 mcg/ml that was determined as toxic level in a previous study.

    Measured: 2.5, 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 6, 24 hours after sciatic nerve block

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Plasma concentration of 3-OH-ropivacaine

    metabolite of ropivacaine

    Measured: 2.5, 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 6, 24 hours after sciatic nerve block

  2. Plasma concentration of pipecoloxylidide

    metabolite of ropivacaine

    Measured: 2.5, 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 6, 24 hours after sciatic nerve block

  3. Postoperative pain score

    11-point numeric rating scale ranging from '0' representing one extreme (e.g. "extremely dissatisfied") to '10' representing the other extreme (e.g. "extremely satisfied")

    Measured: 2, 6, 24 hours after sciatic nerve block

  4. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity

    numbness of the tongue, twitching, convulsion, dysarrhythmia, coma

    Measured: 2, 6, 24 hours after sciatic nerve block

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Regional Anesthesia Morbidity and Local Anesthetic Drug Adverse Reaction, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 25 Jan 2024. 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 South Korea. 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?

Plasma concentration of unbound ropivacaine (time frame: 2.5, 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 6, 24 hours after sciatic nerve block). 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 25 Jan 2024.
