About this study
Official title: Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias in Patients Undergoing Kidney Cancer Surgery Depending on the Anaesthesia Method
This study evaluates the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias during the perioperative period in patients undergoing open kidney cancer surgery in the lateral position. All the participants will be randomly allocated to receive general (Group G) or combined epidural/general anaesthesia (Group G/E). The anaesthetic technique is standardized. The Holter monitor will be applied at the evening before the surgery, tracing continuously for a period of 24 hours (7PM-7PM)
Read the detailed description
Cardiac arrhythmias are a common complication during and after cardio-thoracic surgery. They are also a major source of morbidity and mortality. After general surgery, they usually do not require clinically significant management but the literature on this topic is obsolete. There is no literature data about their incidence during kidney surgery in the lateral position when the bed is scissored so the legs and head are low. The aim of this study was to define what types of arrhythmias are the most common during kidney cancer surgery, their incidence and whether combining general with epidural anesthesia prevents them.
An approval from the Medical University of Warsaw Bioethical Committee has been obtained. Patients need to give written informed consent to participate in the study.
It is anticipated that 50 patients with open kidney cancer surgery performed in the lateral position, under general or combined anesthesia will be enrolled.
A Holter ECG monitor (3-chanel, leads CM5) will be applied at the evening before the surgery, tracing continuously for a period of 24 hours (7PM-7PM).
Patients will be randomly allocated (random permuted blocks within strata) to receive general or combined epidural/general anesthesia. The anesthetic technique is standardized. All the data registered by the Holter ECG monitor will be analyzed and compared with the nursery and anesthesia records.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of Perioperative Cardiac Arrhythmias Evaluated by a Continuous ECG Holter Monitoring in the Perioperative Period
The investigator evaluates the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, the type of arrhythmias and whether additional interventions were needed to treat them
Arrhythmias observed:
tachycardia >100 bpm bradycardia < 50 bpm pause (P-P interval > 2 seconds) ventricular extrasystoles (VE) > 1000/ 24 hours supraventricular extrasystoles (SVE) >200/24 hours
Measured: 60 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
The Prevention of Cardiac Arrhythmias Occurence by Epidural Anesthesia Added to General Anesthesia Evaluated by a Number and Type of Arrhythmias Observed
The investigator evaluates the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias depending on anesthesia method by observing the number and type of arrhythmias and whether additional interventions were needed to treat them
Measured: 60 months

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Poland. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Apr 2017). 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?
Incidence of Perioperative Cardiac Arrhythmias Evaluated by a Continuous ECG Holter Monitoring in the Perioperative Period (time frame: 60 months). 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 NCT02988219, 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 30 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
