Trial summary

As people age, the incidence of prostate hyperplasia increases. So patients under Transurethral Resection of Prostate(TURP) or Holmium Laser Ennucleation of Prostate(HoLEP) are mostly ole age people. Most old age patient has several underlying disease. So patients can develop high mortality and morbidity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ED50 and ED95 of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine With Fentanyl for Transurethral Prostatectomy in Elderly Patients : a Prospective Double-blinded Randomized Trial

As people age, the incidence of prostate hyperplasia increases. So patients under Transurethral Resection of Prostate(TURP) or Holmium Laser Ennucleation of Prostate(HoLEP) are mostly ole age people. Most old age patient has several underlying disease. So patients can develop high mortality and morbidity. Most surgeries for Prostate Resection are taken under Spinal anesthesia. Adequate block level for Prostate Resection is T10. But sometimes, old age patients can develop severe complication after spinal anesthesia. So we started this study to know the adequate drug concentration for Spinal anesthesia taken for Prostate Resection surgery.

As people age, the incidence of prostate hyperplasia increases. So patients under Transurethral Resection of Prostate(TURP) or Holmium Laser Ennucleation of Prostate(HoLEP) are mostly ole age people. Most old age patient has several underlying disease. So patients can develop high mortality and morbidity. Most surgeries for Prostate Resection are taken under Spinal anesthesia. Adequate block level for Prostate Resection is T10. But sometimes, old age patients can develop severe hypotension and vital unstability due to unintentional high sensory and motor blocks. These complications are due to the decreased cerebrospinal fluid volume with increase of age. So we started this study to know the adequate drug concentration for Spinal anesthesia taken for Prostate Resection surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bupivacaine in people with Old Age, run by Hallym University Kangnam Sacred Heart 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 21 Mar 2022. 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?

ED50 and ED95 of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine with fentanyl for transurethral prostatectomy in elderly patients (time frame: 2years). 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 21 Mar 2022.
