About this study

Official title: Spinal Anesthesia With Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine 0.75% for Ambulatory Knee Arthroscopy: A Double Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Three Low Doses

The purpose of this study is to evaluate motor block probability throughout time and clinical profile when using three different doses of HLBP 0.75% (7.5, 9.37 and 11.25 mg) by a unilateral spinal block technique.

Read the detailed description

Previous IRB approval and informed consent, 180 ASA I-II adults under ambulatory knee arthroscopy will be randomly allocated to receive unilateral spinal anesthesia with 7.5 (group Levo-7.5, n=59), 9.37(group Levo-9.37, n=61) and 11.25 (group Levo-11.25, n=60) mg of HLBP 0.75% using a 27-gauge Whitacre needle at a rate of 0.1 ml/ seg. and lateral decubitus position maintained for 5 min after injection.

An independent observer will evaluate motor (modified Bromage scale) and sensory (transcutaneal electrical stimulation at T10, L1, L3, and S1 dermal segments) levels and presence of adverse events immediately after return to supine, at the end of surgery and each 10 min from admission to PACU until home discharge conditions.

Trans-cutaneal electrical stimulation (TES) will be made with a PNS (Ministim® model MS- IV, Organon, Dublin, Irland) using 50-Hz tetanus stimuli for 5 seg. from 10 to 60 mA 3,4.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability of Motor Block

    Likelihood Rate of motor block persistence after a dosis of spinal HLBP 0.75%

    Measured: 200 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Failed Spinal Block Rate

    Failed Spinal Block Rate for each treatment group

    Measured: 15 minutes after dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Hyperbaric Levobupivacaine 0.75% in people with Disorder of Knee and Anesthesia, run by Fundacion Clinica Valle del Lili at 1 site in Colombia.

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 4 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 12 Jul 2017. 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 Colombia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Probability of Motor Block (time frame: 200 minutes). 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 12 Jul 2017.
