About this study

Official title: Changes of Regional Tissue Oxygenation Saturation After Successful Femoral Nerve Block With Ropivacaine at Different Concentrations

Regional tissue oxygenation saturation has been shown to increase in innervated regions after sympathetic block. The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the changes of regional tissue oxygenation saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy after successful femoral nerve block with ropivacaine and determine whether the changes of regional tissue oxygenation saturation can be affected by the concentration of ropivacaine.

Read the detailed description

Successful peripheral nerve blocks induce sympathetic blockade, which increases local blood flow by vasodilation. The relationship between successful femoral nerve block and the variation of regional tissue oxygenation saturation was unclear.

Study groups in NCT03753594
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
H groupPatients scheduled for elective knee arthroscopy with peripheral nerve block will receive ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block with 0.5% ropivacaine. Regional tissue oxygenation saturation of the nerve innervation area and pinprick sensory tests at 5 min were assessed before the block and at 5-min intervals till 30 min after the block.
Receives: Device: tissue oxygenation saturation
L groupPatients scheduled for elective knee arthroscopy with peripheral nerve block will receive ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block with 0.25% ropivacaine. Regional tissue oxygenation saturation of the nerve innervation area and pinprick sensory tests were assessed at 5 min before the block and at 5-min intervals till 30 min after the block.
Receives: Device: tissue oxygenation saturation

What is being measured

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

  1. Regional tissue oxygenation saturation after successful femoral nerve block

    rSO2

    Measured: at 5-minute intervals till 30 minutes after regional block

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pinprick sensory scores

    A 3-level scale was used to grade the intensity of sensory block using pinprick stimulation: 0=normal sensation; 1=analgesia; 2=anesthesia.

    Measured: 5 minute before regional block and at 5-minute intervals till 30 minutes after regional block

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia, Local, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.

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 3 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 13 May 2019. 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 China. 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?

Regional tissue oxygenation saturation after successful femoral nerve block (time frame: at 5-minute intervals till 30 minutes after regional 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 13 May 2019.
