Trial summary

Anorectal surgeries are of the commonest elective surgeries that are performed worldwide under different types of anaesthesia. The aim of this prospective interventional study was to compare the use of general anaesthesia (GA) using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) with spinal anesthesia (SA) in anorectal surgeries.

About this study

Official title: Spinal Anesthesia Versus General Anesthesia Using Laryngeal Mask Airway for Anorectal Surgeries in Prone Position: A Controlled Clinical Trial

Anorectal surgeries are of the commonest elective surgeries that are performed worldwide under different types of anaesthesia. The aim of this prospective interventional study was to compare the use of general anaesthesia (GA) using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) with spinal anesthesia (SA) in anorectal surgeries.

Read the detailed description

Anorectal surgeries are of the most frequently performed procedures worldwide. These procedures are commonly performed in prone position as it offers sufficient exposure and provides enough surgical space. Choosing the suitable anesthetic technique will help in reducing perioperative complications in patients undergoing surgical procedures in prone position, by taking into consideration changes in cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology, airway management, and proper positioning for the prevention of direct and indirect pressure injuries. The aim of this prospective interventional controlled study was to compare the use of general anesthesia (GA) using a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) with spinal anesthesia (SA) in anorectal surgeries.

What participants receive

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

  • Spinal Anesthesia for Anorectal Surgeries in Prone PositionProcedure or surgery

    Spinal anesthesia in sitting position was done under complete aseptic technique through a standard midline approach. One and a half millilitres of 0.5% bupivacaine (7.5 mg) was injected through a 25 Gauge pencil-point needle into the subarachnoid space at L3-L4 or L4-L5 interspace. All patients were kept in a head-up position for 3 minutes. The patient was then asked to turn him- or herself into the prone position on the surgical table with the help of the surgical and anesthetic teams.

  • General Anesthesia Using Laryngeal Mask Airway for Anorectal Surgeries in Prone PositionProcedure or surgery

    General anesthesia was induced using fentanyl 2 mcg/kg and Propofol 2-3 mg/kg. Any stomach contents were then suctioned through an oro-gastric tube to reduce the risk of regurgitation. Proper (weight-based) classic laryngeal mask airway was then blindly inserted. laryngeal mask airway was then properly fixed to the face and anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane 1-2% in 50% Oxygen/air mixture.

What is being measured

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

  1. comparison was between the induction and emergence anesthesia times needed in each technique

    In this group (L) the investigators defined induction time (T1) as the time from completion of initial monitoring until the patient is positioned prone. Emergence time (T2) was defined as the time from the end of surgical dressing till the removal of LMA in the supine position and the patient is ready for transfer to PACU.

    . In this group the investigators defined induction time (T1) as the time from the end of initial monitoring till the patient is positioned in prone position, and (T2) as the time from the end of surgical dressing till the patient is turned to supine position on the bed and ready to be transferred to PACU.

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spinal Anesthesia for Anorectal Surgeries in Prone Position and General Anesthesia Using Laryngeal Mask Airway for Anorectal Surgeries in Prone Position in people with Anesthesia and Anorectal Surgery, run by University of Jordan at 1 site in Jordan.

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 4 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 3 Jan 2020. 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 Jordan. 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?

comparison was between the induction and emergence anesthesia times needed in each technique (time frame: 4 months). 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 3 Jan 2020.
