About this study

Official title: Pre-optimization of Fluid Status to Prevent Hypotension by Non-invasive Arterial Pressure Monitor During Cesarean Section

Whether the usage of non-invasive arterial blood pressure monitor to guide fluid therapy in caesarean section can effectively reduce the incidence of hypotension and fetal complications.

Read the detailed description

Spinal anesthesia in the cesarean section often causes significant peripheral vascular dilatation, decreases blood pressure and cardiac output reduction which leads to maternal nausea, vomiting, dizziness and uteroplacental hypoperfusion. Infusion therapy and the use of vasopressor can prevent and treat the incidence of hypotension. Appropriate fluid therapy can not only maintain maternal tissue perfusion, but also reduce uteroplacental hypoperfusion. In the present study, perioperative goal directed fluid therapy is used. The non-invasive continuous hemodynamic monitor is used in this study, and the parameters (blood pressure (BP), stroke volume(SV), stroke volume variation (SVV), cardiac output (CO)) are used to determine the parameters of the blood transfusion in cesarean section as infusion guidelines. The application of Clearsight system to the pre-infusion of target-guided crystalloid solution is compared with the infusion of quantitative crystalline solution in the hope of reducing the incidence of maternal hypotension, reducing the use of vasopressin, improving uteroplacental perfusion and reducing the incidence of fetal acidosis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fluid therapyDrug

    Also called "Ringer's Injection"

    Goal directed Fluid therapy: Within 30 minutes before spinal anaesthesia, repeat "Ringer's Injection" 3ml/kg within 3 minutes with 1-min gap until ΔSV<5%

  • Spinal anaesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    Inject marcaine and fentanyl to CSF for anaesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fluid therapy and Spinal anaesthesia in people with Obstetric Anesthesia Problems, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 9 Jan 2020. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Incidence of maternal hypotension (time frame: delivery). 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 NCT03013140, 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 9 Jan 2020.
