About this study

Official title: Effect of Epinephrine on Systemic Absorption of Mepivacaine Administered for Brachial Plexus Block in Patients With Chronic Renal Insufficiency

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of epinephrine on systemic absorption of local anaesthetic mepivacaine administered for brachial plexus block in uremic patients scheduled for creation or repair of an arteriovenous fistula. Furthermore, an impact of epinephrine on the central circulation and peripheral tissue oxygenation will be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma concentration of mepivacaine

    Measured: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 120, and 180 min after blockade

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Central circulation

    Heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, and systemic vascular resistance

    Measured: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 min after blockade

  2. Peripheral tissue oxygenation

    Near infrared spectrometry obtained from the triceps muscle of the blocked arm

    Measured: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 min after blockade

  3. Cardiotoxicity of local anesthetic

    12-lead ECG

    Measured: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 min after blockade

  4. Neurotoxicity of local anesthetic

    Visual and hearing disturbances, dysarthria, tingling, perioral numbness, dizziness, paraesthesia, muscular twitching and rigidity

    Measured: Continuously for 1 hour after blockade

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mepivacaine with epinephrine and Plain mepivacaine in people with Renal Insufficiency, Chronic, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 6 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 16 Apr 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 Denmark. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment). 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?

Plasma concentration of mepivacaine (time frame: 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 120, and 180 min after blockade). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01533545, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 16 Apr 2014.
