About this study

Official title: The Incidence of Urinary Retention in Orthopedic Patients Under Spinal Anesthesia

The participants were hospitalized in Orthopedic and Traumatology Departments in Military Institute of Medicine, Warsaw, Poland.

The inclusion criteria were (1) age to 40 year-old, (2) no history of urologic problems, and (3) surgery under spinal anesthesia. All the patients where (1) opioids were administered during the surgery, (2) general anesthesia was necessary, and (3) the urinary bladder catheterization was perform during the surgery were excluded from the study.

The participants were randomly divided into the study and control groups. No oral premedication was administered. All the patients were asked to empty their urinary bladders before arrival to the operating theatre. When the standard monitoring (continuous electrocardiogram, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry) was started, intravenous premedication with midazolam was administered and lumbar spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric 0.5% solution of bupivacaine hydrochloride was performed.

In the study group, but not in the the control one, the 40 mg of drotaverine hydrochloride was administered intramuscularly. The decresed intravascular volume was corrected with cristalloids. During the surgery the adequate, not deeper than II grade according to Ramsay scale, level of sedationt was obtained with midazolam and/or propofol. All the participants received a questionaire in which we asked the questions about (1) the duration of anesthesia, (2) the time of micturition, (3) the time when discomfort or pain appeared in the lower abdomen, (4) the incidence of the urinary bladder catheterization and time to catheterization. On the next day after the surgery the questionaires were collected. In cases, when the patient's dischaged from the hospital was planned during the weekend, he or she was asked to pass on the questionaire to the nurses.

What is being measured

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

  1. time to micturition

    Time (in minutes) from the administration of spinal anesthesia to spontaneous micturition.

    Measured: first 24 hours after spinal anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. urinary bladder catheterization

    1. the need of urinary bladder catheterization, and
    2. time from administration of spinal anesthesia to catheterization

    Measured: first 24 hours after spinal anesthesia

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?

time to micturition (time frame: first 24 hours after spinal anesthesia). 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 NCT02026427, 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.
