Trial summary

Increased intracranial pressure (IICP) is a common problem in traumatic brain injuries and many medical diseases. Early recognition of IICP can save lives. Several invasive and non-invasive methods have been described for IICP diagnosis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison Of The Effects Of Deep And Moderate Neuromuscular Blockade On Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter İn Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Increased intracranial pressure (IICP) is a common problem in traumatic brain injuries and many medical diseases. Early recognition of IICP can save lives. Several invasive and non-invasive methods have been described for IICP diagnosis. In recent years, ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) has become a popular method due to its high sensitivity and specificity for IICP estimation. Studies have shown that ONSD's ultrasonographic measurement correlates with the IICP and can detect intracranial hypertension. The ONSD measurement has advantages such as being easily applied by the clinician at the bedside, being non-invasive, providing immediate results, reproducibility and low cost. It is known that artificial carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum created in laparoscopic surgeries increases intracranial pressure.However, it is not easy to estimate the degree of changes in ICP during laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. In the literature, there are many studies on the sonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter to evaluate the effects of trendelenburg position on intracranial pressure with the use of different anesthetic drugs in laparoscopic surgeries. In addition, there are studies reporting that deep neuromuscular blockade in laparoscopic surgeries increases surgical vision and decreases analgesic requirement in postoperative period. The relationship between neuromuscular block level and intracranial pressure is not clear. From this point of view, the investigators would like to evaluate the effect of moderate and deep neuromuscular block level on intracranial pressure by sonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter in laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations performed with standard pressure artificial carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum.

What participants receive

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

  • Ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameterDiagnostic test

    Optic nerve sheath diameter will be measured at both neuromuscular blocks level.

  • Deep neuromuscular blockProcedure or surgery

    Deep neuromuscular block will be obtained via appropriate dose of rocuronium.

  • Moderate neuromuscular blockProcedure or surgery

    Moderate neuromuscular block will be obtained via appropriate dose of rocuronium.

What is being measured

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

  1. Optic nerve sheath diameter

    Sonographic optic nerve sheath measurements will be made 5 times, preoperatively, 5 minutes after endotracheal intubation, 5 minutes after pneumoperitoneum, 5 minutes after pneumoperitoneum is terminated and after extubation

    Measured: During surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Headache

    The severity of the headache in the first 24 hours postoperatively(0=never, 1= rarely, 2= sometimes, 3= very often, 4= always)

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting score

    Nausea-vomiting were assessed with postoperative nausea and vomiting scale (PONV) (0=no PONV, 1= mild nausea, 2= severe nausea or vomiting once, 3= vomiting more than once)

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Patient satisfaction score

    Patient satisfaction measured using a NRS 1 to 10 (1 = unsatisfied; 10 =very satisfied)

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter, Deep neuromuscular block and Moderate neuromuscular block in people with Intracranial Hypertension, run by Bezmialem Vakif University.

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 17 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 13 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Serdar Yeşiltaş, Instructor (+905423632630, syesiltas@bezmialem.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Optic nerve sheath diameter (time frame: During surgery). 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 Sep 2021.
