Trial summary

The hypotension defined as 20 % less than the basal SBP (systolic blood pressure)and / or an absolute value <90-100 mmHg, he presents an incident of 80-85% after an anesthesia intradural in the pregnant women, fact that worries for provoking undesirable effects so much in the mother and as in the fetus /newborn baby.

About this study

Official title: Prevention of Maternal Hypotension During Elective Caesarean Section Performed With Spinal Anaesthesia, Through Intermittent Pneumatic Compression System in the Lower Extremities.

The hypotension defined as 20 % less than the basal SBP (systolic blood pressure)and / or an absolute value <90-100 mmHg, he presents an incident of 80-85% after an anesthesia intradural in the pregnant women, fact that worries for provoking undesirable effects so much in the mother and as in the fetus /newborn baby.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression system in the lower extremities in order to reduce the vasopressors drugs requirements to maintain hemodynamic stability in pregnant women undergoing elective caesarean sections with an spinal anaesthesia.

Conditions
Hypotension
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. The dose of needed vasopressor (phenylephrine).

    Measured: From the beginning of caesaria section (usually from 32 to 42 weeks of pregnancy) until the end of the surgery.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effectiveness of Intermittent pneumatic compression system in order to decrease requirements of vasopressors (Phenylephrine).

    Intermittent pneumatic compression system in order to minimise the number of episodes defined as Postoperative nausea and vomiting (POVN) and dizziness associated with hypotension.

    Measured: From the beginning of caesaria section untill discharge of the recovery room ( a maximum of 4 hours).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Elective caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia. in people with Hypotension, run by Parc de Salut Mar at 3 sites in Spain.

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 11 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 23 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Spain. 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 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?

The dose of needed vasopressor (phenylephrine). (time frame: From the beginning of caesaria section (usually from 32 to 42 weeks of pregnancy) until the end of the surgery.). 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 23 Feb 2016.
