About this study

Official title: Anesthetic Management in Fetoscopic Surgery and Incidence of Complications - A Retrospective Review

Fetoscopic surgery has been acknowledged to be a reliable procedure to correct several congenital anomalies e.g. shunt insertion in fetal bladder outlet obstruction, laser ablation of vessels in twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), balloon occlusion in congenital diaphragmatic hernia etc. The technique involves an introduction of small-caliber instruments into the amniotic cavity under ultrasound guidance. This procedure can be successfully done under either general anesthesia, regional anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Each technique has both advantages and drawbacks.

Several complications related to anesthetic after fetoscopic surgery can occur. For instance, pulmonary edema which is caused by intravenous fluid loading, irrigation fluid absorption or fluid flow through myometrium venous channel. Besides, maternal hypotension intraoperatively can arise from spinal anesthesia.

The aim of the study is to report choice of anesthesia using in fetoscopic surgery in the tertiary care institute (Siriraj hospital) and incidence of complications which may relate to different anesthetic techniques.

Read the detailed description

The quantity and types of medications using in different anesthetic technique will be gathered including opioid, benzodiazepine, propofol, detail of drugs making fetal paralysis, amount of local anesthetic drug in spinal anesthesia etc. Tocolytic drug will also be recorded eg. terbutaline, nifedipine or magnesium sulfate. These drugs have been generally known that may cause hypotension or pulmonary edema.

In intraoperative period, the investigators emphasize in the incidence of hypotension and other possible complications such as pulmonary aspiration, failed intubation, maternal desaturation or maternal bradycardia. Volume of intravenous fluid administered and amount of irrigation fluid will also be recorded.

Maternal and fetal outcome in recovery room and in postoperative period will be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. Type of anesthetic techniques used in fetoscopic surgery

    Type of anesthetic techniques eg. general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, local anesthesia with sedation.

    Measured: in operating theatre

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Types and quantity of anesthetic medications used

    Types and quantity of anesthetic medications used for anesthetize patients in different anesthetic techniques.

    Measured: in operating theatre

  2. Incidence of complications

    Intraoperative complications eg. failed intubation, aspiration, hypotension from spinal anesthesia, high spinal block, desaturation etc.

    Measured: in operating theatre

  3. Incidence of complications

    Complications occurring postoperatively include pulmonary edema, fatal death etc.

    Measured: after surgery till patients discharge from the hospital

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fetoscopy and Anesthetic Complications, run by Mahidol University at 2 sites in Thailand.

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 1 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 15 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Thailand. 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?

Type of anesthetic techniques used in fetoscopic surgery (time frame: in operating theatre). 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 NCT02434926, 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 15 Nov 2023.
