About this study

Official title: Effect of Intrathecal Fentanyl on Spinal Anesthesia During Dexmedetomidine

Intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine during procedure was known to be associated prolonged duration of spinal anesthesia. In patients receiving dexmedetomidine infusion during procedure, it has been not evaluated whether use of adjuvant intrathecal fentanyl had additional prolonging effect on duration of spinal anesthesia or not. Therefore, the investigators planned this trial to compare clinical outcomes in patients receiving spinal anesthesia with heavy bupivacaine only and heavy bupivacaine plus fentanyl adjuvant.

Being tested
fentanyl, bupivacaine only
Keywords
fentanyl, dexmedetomidine

What participants receive

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

  • fentanylDrug

    Also called Hana Pharmacy

    intrathecal fentanyl will be added as adjuvant for spinal anesthesia using heavy bupivacaine, while dexmedetomidine will be infused intravenously during operation

  • bupivacaine onlyDrug

    Also called AstraZeneca

    heavy bupivacaine will be injected intrathecally during spinal anesthesia, without fentanyl, while dexmedetomidine will be infused intravenously during operation

What is being measured

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

  1. Two segment sensory block regression time

    Time from highest sensory block level to two segment regression

    Measured: From completion of spinal anesthesia, to end of surgery, an expected average of 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. motor block

    modified Bromage scale

    Measured: From completion of spinal anesthesia, to end of surgery, an expected average of 2 hours

  2. postoperative pain score

    VAS scale

    Measured: at op day, at postoperative 1st day, at postoperative 2nd day

  3. postoperative nausea and vomiting

    VAS scale

    Measured: at op day, at postoperative 1st day, at postoperative 2nd day

  4. intraoperative incidence of hypotension

    hypotension : SBP decreased by more than 30% of baseline SBP

    Measured: From completion of spinal anesthesia, to end of surgery, an expected average of 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fentanyl and bupivacaine only in people with Anesthesia, Spinal, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 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 29 Aug 2018. 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 South Korea. 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?

Two segment sensory block regression time (time frame: From completion of spinal anesthesia, to end of surgery, an expected average of 2 hours). 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 NCT03105115, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
