About this study

Official title: The Relationship of Developing Metabolic Acidosis With Antiepleptic Drugs in Craniotomy Operations; Does Topiramat or Zonisamide Cause Metabolic Acidosis?

The relationship of developing metabolic acidosis with antiepleptic drugs in craniotomy operations

Read the detailed description

Metabolic acidosis is a life-threatening complication in the perioperative, intraoperative and postoperative period. It can cause decreased cardiac output, electrolyte imbalance, surgical bleeding and neurological complications, even coma and death in surgical patients.

Topiramate and zonisamide are sulfonamide derivative compounds used in the treatment of epilepsy. It has been shown in studies that both drugs have a strong inhibition of carbonic anhydrase enzyme. Recent case reports suggest that both drugs may cause metabolic acidosis by lowering serum bicarbonate levels in some patients.

Aim in this study is to determine the relationship between preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative metabolic acidosis and to emphasize the importance of anesthesia management in patients who have undergone craniotomy and use antiepileptic drugs.

What participants receive

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

  • Arterial Blood Gas Base DeficitProcedure or surgery

    The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.

What is being measured

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

  1. Preoperative Metabolic Acidosis

    The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Intraoperative Metabolic Acidosis

    The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.

    Measured: during the operation

  3. Postoperative Metabolic Acidosis

    The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Acidosis and Antiepileptic Drugs, run by Trakya University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 7 Nov 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Preoperative Metabolic Acidosis (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Nov 2023.
