About this study

Official title: The Sensitivity of Goal Plethysmography Variability Index (PVI) Directed Pre-anesthesia Intravenous Fluid Infusion in the Prevention of Spinal Anesthesia Induced Hypotension in Elective Caesarian Section: Prospective Observational Study

  • Full term pregnant female patients presented for elective C.S for single viable fetus will be included in this study.
  • Before anesthesia, the patient will be attached to a monitor of: ECG , heart rate, non invasive blood pressure, pulse taximeter applied on the index finger of the limb not attached to the blood pressure cuff, pulse oximetry and plethysmographic variability index (PVI) and perfusion index (PI) will be taken by (Massimo radical 7, Massimo corp. USA). Measures will be recorded every 5 minutes preoperative.
  • Patients with PVI <15 will be excluded from the study.
  • Patients with PVI > 15 are started on intravenous infusion of warm ringer lactate solution via suitable pore intravenous cannula to reach target of PVI <15 or a total 1 liter of ringer lactate.
  • The patients in which the PVI is corrected by fluid to level below 15 will be Group (C) or corrected group. Patients in which intravenous fluid administration did not result any change in PVI or changed but still higher than 15 will be Group (NC) or non corrected group.

After preoperative preparation patient is shifted to operating theater, with all monitors applied. She will receive spinal block at lumbar 3-4 space with hyperbaric bupivacaine 8 mg plus 25 mic fentanyl. After giving anesthesia and positioning for surgery with a left lateral tilt of 15 degrees,

Read the detailed description
  • This prospective observational study will be carried out on all pregnant women who will undergo elective cesarean section in obstetric department in Tanta university hospitals under spinal anesthesia over four month duration that starts immediately after obtaining ethical committee approval, an informed written consent will be included with the consent for spinal anesthesia for cesarean section, all patients data will be confidential and will be used for the current study only.
  • Inclusion criteria:

Pregnant women which are listed to undergo elective caeserian section for single viable baby under spinal anesthesia.

  • Exclusion criteria:
  • Patients with pregnancy less than 36 weeks or more than 40 weeks
  • Patients with hypertension , pre-eclampsia , eclampsia.
  • Patients with diabetes
  • Patients with cardiovascular disease and /or arrhythmia.
  • Patients with placenta previa, accreta, percreta.
  • Obese patients with BMI >36
  • Polyhydramnious patients
  • On arrival of patients to pre-anaesthesia preparation room, we will allow patients to rest in supine position with 15 degree left tilt by pillow wedge under right hip, after allowing patient to rest for five minutes, measures are recorded: ECG , heart rate, non invasive blood pressure, pulse oximeter applied on the index finger of the limb not attached to the blood pressure cuff, pulse oximetry and Plethysmography variability index (PVI) and perfusion index (PI) will be taken by (Massimo radical 7, Massimo corp. USA). Measures will be recorded every 5 minutes preoperative. Patients with PVI <15 are excluded from the study.

Patients with PVI > 15 are started on intravenous infusion of warm ringer lactate solution via suitable pore intravenous cannula to reach target of PVI <15 or a total 1 liter of ringer lactate.

The patients in which the PVI is corrected by fluid to level below 15 will be Group (C) or corrected group. Patients in which intravenous fluid administration did not result any change in PVI or changed but still higher than 15 will be Group (NC) or non corrected group.

After preoperative preparation patient is shifted to operating theater, with all monitors applied. She will receive spinal block at lumbar 3-4 space with hyperbaric bupivacaine 8 mg plus 25 mic fentanyl. After giving anesthesia and positioning for surgery with a left lateral tilt of 15 degrees, supplemental oxygen at rate of 4 liter/minute is applied.

Measurements will be taken every minute till delivery of the baby, and if the blood pressure is decreased below 20% of the baseline level before anesthesia, patients will be given incremental doses of ephedrine sulfate 0.1 mg /kg till blood pressure normalized above 80% of pre-anesthesia level. All measurements will be recorded in tables and subjected to statistical analysis.

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

  • Spinal AnesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    The patients will receive spinal block at lumbar 3-4 space with hyperbaric bupivacaine 8 mg plus 25 mic fentanyl. After giving anesthesia and positioning for surgery with a left lateral tilt of 15 degrees, supplemental oxygen at rate of 4 liter/minute is applied.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension

    The decrease in the mean arterial pressure below 65 mmHg or below 80% of the baseline value.

    Measured: Through out the whole intraoperative period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The consumption of vasopressors

    The total dose of ephedrine required to maintain the MAP above 80% of the baseline value

    Measured: Through out the whole intraoperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Complication of Anaesthesia During Labour and Delivery, run by Tanta University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 1 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 26 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. 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?

The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension (time frame: Through out the whole intraoperative period). 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 26 Mar 2021.
