Trial summary

Background : Epidural anaesthesia is associated in abdominal surgery with reduced pain and postoperative respiratory complications together with quicker recovery of bowel function. Currently, no studies have been able to prove its ability to reduce length of stay in intensive care and high-dependency units. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Epidural Analgesia vs. Morphine Patient-controlled Analgesia in Abdominal Surgery Under Laparotomy : a Medico-economic Study

Background : Epidural anaesthesia is associated in abdominal surgery with reduced pain and postoperative respiratory complications together with quicker recovery of bowel function. Currently, no studies have been able to prove its ability to reduce length of stay in intensive care and high-dependency units.

Purpose : The aim of this study is to demonstrate that epidural anaesthesia reduces length of stay in intensive care unit after abdominal surgery under laparotomy.

Read the detailed description

There are currently two methods of analgesia in postoperative abdominal surgery : patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with opioids and epidural analgesia.

No international recommendations regarding the use of either of these techniques have yet been written. Epidural analgesia is superior to intravenous morphine, including during mobilization and coughing. It also reduces respiratory complications and optimizes postoperative rehabilitation. Nevertheless, mortality is not improved with this technique. Few publications exist on the optimization of the duration of hospitalization in the intensive care unit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Theoretical duration of hospitalization in intensive care unit.

    The difference between the day of surgery and the day when discharge criteria for intensive care unit are met.

    Measured: 5 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total duration of hospitalization.

    The difference between the day of surgery and the day when the discharge criteria are met

    Measured: 9 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing epidural analgesia and PCA in people with Extended Ileal Resection Under Laparotomy and Total Proctocolectomy Under Laparotomy, run by University Hospital, Limoges 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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2014. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of patients eligible for the study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Theoretical duration of hospitalization in intensive care unit. (time frame: 5 days). 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 15 Aug 2014.
