Study population: patients for elective arthroscopy of the shoulder

Who may be able to join

  • Inclusion criterion for the study was the approval for surgery under general or regional anesthesia with ASA I and ASA II patients classification. -

Who cannot join

  • The patients who have refused to take part in the study, patients assessed as ASA III or higher, who have cerebrovascular or coronary disease, coagulopathy, hypersensitivity to local anesthetics or other contraindications to one or the other type of anesthetic techniques All patients in whom the operation lasted less than 20 minutes or longer than 90 minutes, have been also excluded from the study.

About this study

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the patient positioning in the beach chair position with consequential arterial pressure changes and their influence on regional cerebral oxygen saturation under two anesthesia techniques, general anesthesia in one group of patients and interscalene block in the second group of patients.

Read the detailed description

The participants of the study are patients scheduled for elective shoulder athroscopy. The patients randomise themselves by choosing the type of anesthesia technique (general anesthesia or interscalene block) after detailed description of both techniques. They receive the standard, routine medical care (monitoring and anesthesia techniques) during which the obtained data of arterial pressure, heart rate, peripheral and cerebral oxygen saturation will be statistically analysed and compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. changes in arterial pressure from baseline

    Measured: baseline, during the operation, one hour after the operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. changes in regional cerebral oxygen saturation from baseline

    Measured: baseline, during the operation, one hour after the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Impaired Oxygen Delivery and Cerebral Hypoxia, run by Osijek University Hospital.

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 16 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

changes in arterial pressure from baseline (time frame: baseline, during the operation, one hour after the operation). 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 16 Nov 2015.
