About this study

Official title: Can Preoperative Compressive Draping Reduce Soft Tissue Swelling During Shoulder Arthroscopy? A Prospective Randomized Trial

Strategies to minimize soft tissue swelling during shoulder arthroscopy are constantly sought after. The investigators propose an unfamiliar method which may reduce tissue swelling during shoulder arthroscopy.

Read the detailed description

Fluid extravasation into the surrounding tissue is common in shoulder arthroscopy. It frequently leads to soft tissue swelling and edema which results in poor visualization and prolonged surgical time. While usually resolves uneventfully within 12 hours, excessive fluid extravasation into the soft tissue around the shoulder may lead to serious consequences and complications such as airway compromise, tracheal deviation, neuropraxias, habdomyoloysis and skin necrosis have been reported in the literature. Methods aimed at reducing soft tissue swelling during shoulder arthroscopy in order to avoid complications (e.g., low pump pressure, short arthroscopic time) are routinely practiced. Nevertheless, fluid extravasation and soft tissue swelling remains a concern in shoulder arthroscopy.

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate whether applying local compression to the shoulder by preoperative compressive draping will reduce soft tissue swelling during shoulder arthroscopy. To the investigators' knowledge, no previous study evaluated the influence of applying compressive draping to the shoulder on soft tissue swelling in shoulder arthroscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • Compressive draping using adhesive incise drapeDevice

    In the intervention group the shoulder will be drape with compressive draping using adhesive incise drape (Ioban™2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape, 3M Inc.,USA).

Standard drapingNo interventionShoulder arthroscopy will be performed using standard draping with the shoulder exposed.
Compressive drapingExperimentalAfter standard preparation similar to the no-intervention group, the shoulder will be draped with compressive draping using adhesive incise drape (Ioban™2 Antimicrobial Incise Drape, 3M Inc.,USA)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change on shoulder circumference

    The change in shoulder circumference will be assessed at the end of the procedure. Shoulder circumference before and at the end of the procedure will be measured from the mid-point between the coracoid process and anterior axillary fold anteriorly to the mid-point between the scapular spine and the posterior axillary fold posteriorly.

    Measured: Immediate post-operative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Compressive draping using adhesive incise drape in people with Shoulder Arthroscopy and Soft Tissue Swelling, run by Hillel Yaffe Medical Center.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ofir Uri, MD (+972-52-3863228, ofiruri@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change on shoulder circumference (time frame: Immediate post-operative). 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 NCT03216590, 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 13 Jul 2017.
