About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Trendelenburg Position Time on Intracranial Pressure in Laparoscopic With Ultrasonographic Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measurement

The Lloyd Davies position is a position used in laparoscopic hysterectomies where the head is lowered 45 degrees and the legs are bent from the knee area.It is a version of the Trendelenburg position. Both this position and for laparoscopic surgery carbon dioxide (CO2) gas given into the abdomen, causes problems for the patient. Increased abdominal and thoracic pressure impairs venous return and increases intracranial pressure. Optic nerve sheath diameter can be measured by placing an ultrasound probe over the eye. It is possible to follow up the increase in intracranial pressure with this diameter measurement. In this study, it was planned to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasound in patients who will undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy. It is aimed to observe the changes in the increase in intracranial pressure as the time lengthens with the measurements to be made at certain intervals during the operation. Secondary aim is to determine whether there is a cut-off value where the intracranial pressure starts to increase.

Read the detailed description

The Trendelenburg position is the patient's head down with the table tilted, with the head closer to the floor than the feet. Lloyd Davies position is a modified version of the Trendelenburg position, used especially in laparoscopic hysterectomies, where the head is lowered 30-45° and the legs are bent at knee level. During this surgery, pneumoperitoneum is also applied by administering carbon dioxide (CO2) into the abdomen. During this surgery, pneumoperitoneum is also applied by administering CO2 into the abdomen. The applied position and intra-abdominal CO2 cause some physiological changes. These changes include respiratory and cardiac changes as well as increased intracranial pressure. Optic nerve sheath diameter can be measured by placing an ultrasound probe over the eye. Increase in intracranial pressure can be followed by sequential measurements. In this study, it was planned to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasound in patients who will undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy. It is aimed to observe the changes in the increase in intracranial pressure as the time lengthens with the measurements to be made at certain intervals during the operation. Before the patients were given anesthesia induction, optic nerve sheath diameter measurement (ONSD) was performed by imaging in the sagittal and transverse planes in both eyes in neutral position. The second measurement was taken 2 minutes after endotracheal intubation in the neutral position. After the trocars were placed and pneumoperitoneum was applied, the patient was placed in the Lloyd Davies position. After the position was given, bilateral ONSD measurements were taken at the 30th minute, 60th minute, 75th minute, and 90th minute. At the end of the surgery, pneumoperitoneum and position were neutralized. The last measurement was taken 5 minutes after the patient was placed in the neutral position. Near infrared spectrometry (NIRS) monitoring was performed throughout the surgery.

    First, both eyes were measured in a neutral position while awake and after intubation. Measurements were made at regular intervals until the end of the operation after the head-down position and in the neutral position after the operation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound guided optic nerve sheath diameter measurement in people with Intracranial Pressure Increase, run by Dilek Cetinkaya 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?

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?

optic nerve sheath diameter measurement (time frame: during the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06048900, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
