About this study

Official title: Lidocaine Infusion in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a commonly performed procedure. It is known that bleeding during FESS can affect directly to the visibility of safe landmarks and surgical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a commonly performed procedure in the head and neck field. It is known that bleeding during FESS can affect directly to the visibility of safe landmarks and surgical outcomes.

Use of vasoactive drugs to control bleeding is not without pitfalls. Systemic effects of epinephrine may constitute a potential hazard in patients with hypertension, ischemic heart disease, anemia, preexistent liver or renal damage and endocrine dysfunction (hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma and diabetes mellitus).

Lidocaine is a prototypical local anesthetic, but it also has systemic effects that are mediated by inhibitory effects on N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors and leukocyte priming. Consequently, systemic lidocaine is antiinflammatory, analgesic, and antihyperalgesic. Randomized clinical trials, however, have produced mixed results. Several studies have shown reduction in postoperative opioid consumption and pain scores, whereas others have failed to show a benefit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative bleeding

    Will be calculated from the fluid volume of the suction canister. The volume of irrigating fluid will subtracted from the total volume of fluid contained in the suction bottle. Additionally, a fully soaked cotton strip will be assumed to contain 5 ml of blood and a partially soaked one to contain 2-3 ml of blood

    Measured: Intraoperative assessment till end of operation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Quality of surgical field

    The surgeon will assess the quality of surgical field every 15 min after the beginning of drug infusion for the first 60 min according to a 6-point Boezaart scale

    Measured: intraoperative assessment

  2. Surgeon satisfaction

    with a 4-point scale: 1 = Poor, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Good, 4 = Excellent

    Measured: At the end of surgery

  3. Mean arterial pressure

    Will be assessed at the initial phase (baseline), immediately after induction of anesthesia, and then 15, 30. 45, 60 min after the begining of drug infusion

    Measured: intraoperative assessment

  4. Heart rate

    Will be assessed at the initial phase (baseline), immediately after induction of anesthesia, and then 15, 30. 45, 60 min after the begining of drug infusion

    Measured: intraoperative assessment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lidocaine and Normal saline in people with Intraoperative Bleeding, run by Assiut University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 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 28 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Intraoperative bleeding (time frame: Intraoperative assessment till end of 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 28 Apr 2022.
