About this study

Official title: Intravenous Bicarbonate Identifies the Correct Position of Intravenous Catheter

Extravasation is an unintentional injection or leakage of fluids in the perivascular or subcutaneous space. Extravasation can be associated with tissue injury with various level of severity and long term consequences. Currently the confirmation of intravenous location of the Intravenous (IV) catheter requires close observation of the insertion site with sufficient infiltration in the perivascular area to allow detection of swelling, discoloration and discomfort. Under Anesthesia direct observation is frequently prohibited. IV sodium bicarbonate (SB) is used frequently to treat different metabolic conditions and is known to cause a temporary elevation of exhaled carbon dioxide. This study aim is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous SB as a detector of intravenous placement of an IV line in anesthetized patients.

Patients and Methods: The study has three parts, in part 1, the safety of subcutaneous injection of sodium bicarbonate was evaluated in 6 rats. In each animal the macroscopic and microscopic effects were evaluated and a safe dilution was determined. In the second part of the study the investigators will evaluated the efficacy of IV diluted SB to detect the proper location of IV catheters. 20 adult patients age 20 to 50 years will be enrolled. Patients all under general anesthesia with standard controlled ventilation via endotracheal tube. The correct placement of IV catheter will be confirmed by easy aspiration of blood from newly placed IV catheter. In each patient a bolus of 50 cc of 0.5 meq/cc SB or volume equivalent of normal saline will be injected in random order. The data collection will include patient's demographics, the presence or absence of an increase in the expired end-tidal carbon dioxide, onset and peak changes of end-tidal carbon dioxide as well as the hemodynamic changes after each injection.

What is being measured

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

  1. change in end-tidal carbon dioxide

    intravenous bicarbonate injected intravenously will cause an increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide within minutes

    Measured: 0.5-2 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Sodium bicarbonate and normal saline in people with General Anesthesia, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2010. 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 Israel. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Contact Ilan keidan, MD (972-3-530-2754, ilan.keidan@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in end-tidal carbon dioxide (time frame: 0.5-2 minutes). 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 28 Oct 2010.
