About this study

Official title: Interscalene Block on Ventilatory Function After Shoulder Surgery : Evaluation of Single or Continuous Injection

Interscalene block with local anesthetic impairs ventilation (unilateral diaphragmatic dysfunction). Single injection of local anesthetic induced transitory dysfunction (< 24h). The investigators hypothesized that continuous interscalene block would prolonged ventilatory impairment

Read the detailed description

Unilateral pulmonary dysfunction occured after interscalene block due to phrenic nerve paralysis. This reduction induced vital capacity alteration and peek flow reduction.Several studies analysed dysfunction recovery duration after single injection using short (lidocaine)or intermediate (ropivacaine, bupivacaine)local anesthetic drug. Because continuous infusion prolonged block duration, phenic nerve may be also prolonged. However no study with continuous interscalene infusion have been performed for this dysfunction.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction of the pulmonary forced vital capacity

    A 25 % reduction of the pulmonary forced vital capacity is expected and measured using spirometer

    Measured: Day 2

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Reduction of the pulmonary maximum forced expiratory flow

    Outcome measure was performed using a spirometer

    Measured: Day 2

  2. Morphine consumption

    Additional morphine administration for pain management (morphine intravenous : 1 mg every 7 min when necessary, pain score > 3/10)

    Measured: Day 2

  3. Pain score at rest and motion

    Outcome Measure using a visual analog scale (0 to 10)

    Measured: Day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ropivacaine 2 mg/ml in people with Respiratory Depression and Anesthesia Morbidity, run by Pierre and Marie Curie University 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 3 inclusion and 5 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 19 Jan 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 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 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?

Reduction of the pulmonary forced vital capacity (time frame: Day 2). 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 19 Jan 2015.
