About this study

Official title: Combined Spinal- Epidural Anesthesia (CSE) for Vascular and Orthopedic Operations in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy

This study was conducted on 24 patients who have ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, underwent non cardiac surgery in the lower half of the body under the effect of combined spinal epidural anesthesia at Assiut university hospital. Intraoperative Hemodynamic monitoring including invasive blood pressure, heart rate, and CVP was established, in addition to pre and postoperative, 12 lead ECG, echocardiography, and venous sampling for Brain natriuretic peptide measurement were done .

This study tried to assess the safety of this anesthetic technique on such group of cardiac patients along over the hospital stay period and up to 6 months postoperatively, in addition to the predictability of Brain natriuretic peptide as a cardiac biomarker regarding to the major adverse cardiac events and cardiac mortality for these group of patients .

Read the detailed description

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by ventricular dilatation and impaired systolic cardiac function. Anesthetic management, of patients with cardiomyopathy with reduced systolic function, is challenging and may be associated with high mortality.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of combined spinal epidural anesthesia (CSEA) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, underwent vascular surgery in the lower half of the body, in addition to assess the safety of this anesthetic technique in the early postoperative period.

Method: After approval by local research ethics committee of the Faculty of Medicine, and informed written consent obtained from all patients, 24 patients having dilated cardiomyopathy, subjected to vascular surgery in the lower half of the body under CSEA. The effects of CSEA on hemodynamics; IBP, HR and CVP (measured at base line and then every 10 min), in addition to cardiac complications during the hospital stay period were studied.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiomyopathies, run by Assiut University.

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 13 Feb 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?

early postoperative cardiac complications (time frame: 7 days post operative). 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 13 Feb 2017.
