About this study

Observational study evaluating effect general or regional anaesthesia on glycocalyx by using perfused Boundary Region in sublingual microcirculation.

Read the detailed description

Study II: Effect general and regional anaesthesia on GCX Hypothesis to be tested: Regional anaesthesia affects GCX less than general anaesthesia.

The aim of the study: Comparison of two anaesthesia techniques with respect to GCX.

Type of the study: Observational. Subjects: Adult patients ASA 2-3 undergoing elective total knee replacement surgery under general or regional anaesthesia. Sample size calculation (based on expected difference in PRB, alpha error I = 0,05 and study power = 0,99) = 52 patients. Investigators plan to enroll of 60 consecutive patients to reach 30 patients with each type of anaesthesia. Intervention: none. Data to be recorded and analysed: Demographics, ASA, physiologic functions (during surgery and 24 hours after surgery), fluids given, sublingual microcirculation by SDF imaging will be recorded at time points: before anaesthesia, 24 hours after anaesthesia, clinical outcome indicators, microcirculatory data and Perfused Boundary Region.

Being tested
General anesthesia, Regional anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Perfused Boundary Region (PBR)

    PBR is an indirect measure of glycocalyx thickness

    Measured: Change from baseline PBR at 24 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia and Glycocalyx, run by University Hospital Hradec Kralove.

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 27 Nov 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Nov 2019). 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?

Change in Perfused Boundary Region (PBR) (time frame: Change from baseline PBR at 24 hours after 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 27 Nov 2019.
