Trial summary

The purpose of this study is the investigation of whether adding lidocaine to hyperbaric bupivacaine could decrease the duration of bupivacaine spinal block and provide shorter recovery and discharge times than local infiltration anesthesia in outpatient herniorrhaphy procedures.

About this study

Official title: A Comparison of the Recovery Profiles of Bupivacaine or Bupivacaine Mixed With Lidocaine Spinal Anesthesia and Local Infiltration Anesthesia for Outpatient Herniorrhaphy

The purpose of this study is the investigation of whether adding lidocaine to hyperbaric bupivacaine could decrease the duration of bupivacaine spinal block and provide shorter recovery and discharge times than local infiltration anesthesia in outpatient herniorrhaphy procedures.

Read the detailed description

Consecutive 93 patients undergoing inguinal herniorrhaphy will be recruited with a prospective protocol.Spinal anesthesia will be commenced in Group BLS with 2 ml hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) + 0.6 ml 1 % lidocaine (6 mg), in Group BS, hyperbaric bupivacaine (10 mg) + saline in the same volume and Group LIA will have anesthesia with bupivacaine and lidocaine for step by step local anesthetic infiltration. Sensorial block will be measured with pinprick test, motor block will be tested with Bromage scale. Heart rate, blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation will be measured every 5 minutes. Time of subarachnoid injection, onset of sensorial block (block at L1 dermatome), time to block T10 dermatome, maximum block level, time to maximum block and time to two segment regression, T10 regression , LI regression and S1 regression of the block will be recorded in group BLS and BS.The onset and resolution of the sensorial and motor block will be assessed by anesthetists blinded to group allocation. PACU stay and discharge times and VAS pain scores will be recorded in all patients. Patients also will be investigated for adverse events (hypotension, bradycardia, nausea,PDPH, TNS, urinary retention)and satisfaction regarding the anesthetic method.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of spinal block

    Time between the onset of the sensorial block at L1 dermatome and the resolution of the sensorial block at S3 dermatome.

    Measured: day of surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Discharge time

    The time between the end of surgery and home discharge.

    Measured: Day of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing spinal anesthesia and infiltration anesthesia in people with Anesthesia and Inguinal Hernia, run by Diskapi Teaching and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 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 22 Apr 2015. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 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?

Duration of spinal block (time frame: day of surgery). 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 NCT01548794, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Apr 2015.
