About this study

Official title: Impact Of Maternal Spinal Anesthesia-Induced Hypotension At Scheduled Cesarean Delivery On Risk Development Of Transient Tachypnea Of Newborn And Fetal Acidosis: A Prospective Study

We will evaluate the association between transient tachypnea of newborns and fetal acidosis development to the degree and duration of maternal hypotension and anesthesia to delivery time during spinal anesthesia at scheduled cesarean delivery.

Read the detailed description

Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is characterized by mild to moderate respiratory distress that is a common self-limited disease of term newborns which gradually improves during the first 48 to 72 hours of life. TTN results from failure of the newborn to effectively clear the fetal lung fluid soon after birth.

It requires admission to the neonatal intensive care unit which leads to maternal-infant separation, the need for respiratory support, extended unnecessary exposure to antibiotics, prolonged hospital stays and increased health care costs.

Furthermore, these term neonates are at higher risk for inpatient admission for respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis in infancy and reactive airway disease later in life.

Transient tachypnea of newborns is 2- to 6-fold more common during elective cesarean delivery compared to vaginal birth.

Although the maternal-fetal risk factors for transient tachypnea of newborns are well understood, preoperative factors, especially in the setting of elective cesarean delivery, remain poorly investigated.

Significant maternal hypotension is a frequent complication of spinal anesthesia during caesarean delivery. However, spinal anesthesia is still the preferred anesthetic technique for cesarean delivery due to multiple factors such as avoiding risk of aspiration associated with general anesthetic, maternal ability to witness the birth of the baby and higher neonatal APGAR scores.

To our knowledge, no study has explored the potential role of maternal hemodynamic parameters during neuraxial anesthesia and effect of anesthesia to delivery time at scheduled cesarean delivery in the development of transient tachypnea of newborns and fetal acidosis in Egypt. Therefore, we hypothesized that pre-delivery maternal spinal anesthesia induced hypotension and anesthesia to delivery time would be associated with transient tachypnea of newborns and fetal acidosis in fullterm neonates delivered by elective cesarean section.

To test this hypothesis, we performed a prospective observational cohort study to evaluate the association of degree and duration of maternal hypotension and anesthesia to delivery time with development of transient tachypnea of newbon and fetal acidosis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transient Tachypnea of Newborn and Fetal Acidosis, run by Benha University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 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 25 Apr 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

Association between transient tachypnea of newborns development to the degree and duration of maternal hypotension during spinal anesthesia at scheduled cesarean delivery (time frame: 6 hours after delivery). The study lists 2 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 25 Apr 2024.
