Trial summary

The aim is to determine if the use of infiltration with an adrenalin solution in the operative field of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), allays a significant reduction of the cumulated volume of bleeding (pre and post operative) without increasing the per and post operative risks.

About this study

Official title: Effect of the Injection of Local Analgesia With Epinephrine During Total Hip Arthroplasty on the Blood Losses Per and Operatively.

The aim is to determine if the use of infiltration with an adrenalin solution in the operative field of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), allays a significant reduction of the cumulated volume of bleeding (pre and post operative) without increasing the per and post operative risks. At the same time, the effect on the post operational pains is evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This prospective randomized study compares a population receiving a local anaesthetic (ropivacaine, adrenalin and physiological serum) in the operative field to a population undergoing a standard protocol.

The cumulated volume of bleeding per and post operative are recorded and complete blood count (CBC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ropivacaine, physical serum and adrenalin in people with Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 27 Mar 2012. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

measuring volume of cumulated bleeding per and post operative and analyse of complete blood count (CBC) (time frame: pre and post operative). 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 27 Mar 2012.
