Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Older adult

Study population: A total of 68 consecutive elderly patients, aged >65 years scheduled for elective infra-umbilical surgical operations under spinal anesthesia will be included in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • 1. 65 years of age or more. 2. ASA score I \& II. 3. Patients are scheduled for infra umbilical surgeries under spinal anesthesia.

Who cannot join

  • Negative consent. Pre-existing hypertension Diabetes mellitus or autonomic neuropathy (patients diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy or having suggestive symptoms such as orthostatic hypotension, syncopal attacks, decreased sweating, and urinary incontinence) Emergency operations Absolute contraindications or failure to perform spinal anesthesia If PLR maneuver is contraindicated (intracranial hypertension) or possibly unreliable ( venous compression stocking, intraabdominal hypertension) Difficulties in IVC visualization due to increased subcutaneous fat tissue or gastric gas interferin

About this study

Many previous studies have investigated the ability of various methods such as passive leg raising test , and inferior vena cava collapsibility index in predicting post-spinal hypotension, but none of them have succeeded in obtaining a good predictive value.

Our study aims to combine the passive leg raising test with the inferior vena cava distensibility index to aid in predicting post-spinal hypotension in elderly undergoing infra-umbilical surgeries.

What is being measured

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

  1. The sensitivity of Δmax.IVCd in predicting post-spinal anesthesia hypotension in elderly patients.

    The incremental changes of measured maximum inferior vena caval diameter after passive leg raising

    Measured: 15 minutes before spinal anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Anesthetics Causing Adverse Effects in Therapeutic Use, run by Cairo 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2023. 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?

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 sensitivity of Δmax.IVCd in predicting post-spinal anesthesia hypotension in elderly patients. (time frame: 15 minutes before spinal anesthesia). 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 14 Aug 2023.
