Trial summary

The effect of Body-mass index (BMI) on requirements of local anesthetics used in spinal anesthesia has not been well established. The investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on spinal anesthesia by comparing the median effective dose of intrathecal bupivacaine between two different BMI groups.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of BMI on Median Effective Dose (ED50) of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Bupivacaine for Total Knee Replacement Arthroplasty

The effect of Body-mass index (BMI) on requirements of local anesthetics used in spinal anesthesia has not been well established. The investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on spinal anesthesia by comparing the median effective dose of intrathecal bupivacaine between two different BMI groups.

Read the detailed description

The effect of BMI on requirements of local anesthetics used in spinal anesthesia has not been well established. The investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on spinal anesthesia by comparing the median effective dose (ED50)of intrathecal bupivacaine between two different BMI groups. The investigators determined the ED50 and ED 95 of intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine of subjects with BMI below 27.5 kg/m2, and subjects with BMI over 27.5 kg/m2, respectively. By comparing the difference of ED50 and ED95 between the groups, the investigators tried to quantify the effect of BMI on the bupivacaine dose requirement.

What is being measured

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

  1. success of spinal anesthesia

    a bilateral T12 sensory level to pinprick within 10 min of the intrathecal drug administration with no additional epidural anesthetics required during the surgery

    Measured: every ten minutes during the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. time to first request for supplemental analgesia

    for failure cases: it is the time of failure for success cases : it is the time of first postoperative pain

    Measured: every ten minutes during and after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BPV6NO, BPV7NO and BPV8NO in people with Arthroplasty, Knee, run by Seoul Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 3 Aug 2011. 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 South Korea. 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?

success of spinal anesthesia (time frame: every ten minutes during the surgery). 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 3 Aug 2011.
