About this study

Positioning a patient in prone position under anaesthesia significantly alters cardiovascular physiology. Cervical myelopathy patients are known to have autonomic dysfunction. Such patients when positioned in prone position under anaesthesia carry a higher risk of developing hemodynamic changes and this can compromise spinal cord perfusion.

This prospective observational study was conducted on 30 patients with cervical myelopathy who underwent surgery in prone position at NIMHANS, Bangalore hospital. The non invasive cardiac output monitor (NICOM, Cheetah Medicals) was used to record various hemodynamic parameters. The hemodynamic parameters were recorded at baseline, post induction, post intubation, prior to prone position, post prone position, and every five minutes thereafter upto 20mins.

The hemodynamic parameters that were recorded using the NICOM monitor:

  • HR - Heart rate (beats /min)
  • NIBP - non invasive blood pressure (mmHg)
  • MAP - mean arterial pressure(mmHg)
  • CO - cardiac output (l/min)
  • CI - cardiac index (l/min/m2)
  • SV - Stroke volume (ml/beat)
  • SVV -stroke volume variability (%)
  • TPR - total peripheral resistance (dynes. sec/cm5)

What participants receive

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

  • Prone PositioningProcedure or surgery

    Noninvasive cardiac output monitoring parameters were recorded before and after prone positioning.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean arterial pressure

    Analysis of change in mean arterial pressure at following time points - before induction of anaesthesia, 2 minutes after anaesthetic induction, 2 minutes after intubation, before turning prone, immediately after turning prone and every 5 minutes thereafter till 20 minutes after positioning.

    Measured: Before induction of anaesthesia to 20 minutes after prone positioning (end of study)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Heart rate

    Analysis of change in heart rate at following time points - before induction of anaesthesia, 2 minutes after anaesthetic induction, 2 minutes after intubation, before turning prone, immediately after turning prone and every 5 minutes thereafter till 20 minutes after positioning.

    Measured: Before induction of anaesthesia to 20 minutes after prone positioning (end of study)

  2. Cardiac output

    Analysis of change in cardiac output at following time points - before induction of anaesthesia, 2 minutes after anaesthetic induction, 2 minutes after intubation, before turning prone, immediately after turning prone and every 5 minutes thereafter till 20 minutes after positioning.

    Measured: Before induction of anaesthesia to 20 minutes after prone positioning (end of study)

  3. Stroke volume

    Analysis of change in stroke volume at following time points - before induction of anaesthesia, 2 minutes after anaesthetic induction, 2 minutes after intubation, before turning prone, immediately after turning prone and every 5 minutes thereafter till 20 minutes after positioning.

    Measured: Before induction of anaesthesia to 20 minutes after prone positioning (end of study)

  4. Stroke volume variation

    Analysis of change in stroke volume variation at following time points - before induction of anaesthesia, 2 minutes after anaesthetic induction, 2 minutes after intubation, before turning prone, immediately after turning prone and every 5 minutes thereafter till 20 minutes after positioning.

    Measured: Before induction of anaesthesia to 20 minutes after prone positioning (end of study)

  5. Total peripheral resistance

    Analysis of change in total peripheral resistance at following time points - before induction of anaesthesia, 2 minutes after anaesthetic induction, 2 minutes after intubation, before turning prone, immediately after turning prone and every 5 minutes thereafter till 20 minutes after positioning.

    Measured: Before induction of anaesthesia to 20 minutes after prone positioning (end of study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamics Instability, run by Dhritiman Chakrabarti.

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 4 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 23 Jan 2017. 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?

Mean arterial pressure (time frame: Before induction of anaesthesia to 20 minutes after prone positioning (end of study)). 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 23 Jan 2017.
