About this study

Official title: Effect of Spinal or Sevoflurane Anesthesia on Neutrophil Activation After Tourniquet Induced Ischemia-reperfusion in Knee Surgery

Aim of study : Assessement of neutrophil activation during ischemia reperfusion associated with tourniquet use for total knee arthroplasty. This activation was compared in a group of patient scheduled for spinal anesthesia and for sevoflurane anesthesia

Read the detailed description

Aim of study : Assessement of neutrophil activation during ischemia reperfusion associated with tourniquet use for total knee arthroplasty. This activation was compared in a group of patient scheduled for spinal anesthesia and for sevoflurane anesthesia This activation was assessed by plasma myeloperoxidase and elastase measurements in four consecutive blood samples during and after surgery (before surgical incision and 1, 3, 24 hours following tourniquet release.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in plasmatic concentration of myeloperoxidase and elastase

    Biological measurement of changes in plasmatic concentration of myeloperoxidase and elastase from preoperative values to one hour after tourniquet release.

    Measured: Before surgical incision and one hour after tourniquet release

  2. Changes in plasmatic concentration of myeloperoxidase and elastase

    Biological measurement of changes in plasmatic concentration of myeloperoxidase and elastase from preoperative values to 3 and 24 hours after tourniquet release.

    Measured: Before surgical incision then 3 and 24 hours after tourniquet release

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Changes in plasmatic concentration of endothelial biomarkers

    Biological measurement of changes in plasmatic concentration of syndecan-1, soluble thrombomodulin, soluble E-selectin and VEGF from preoperative values to one hour after tourniquet release.

    Measured: Before surgical incision and one hour after tourniquet release

  2. Changes in plasmatic concentration of endothelial biomarkers

    Biological measurement of changes in plasmatic concentration of syndecan-1, soluble thrombomodulin, soluble E-selectin and VEGF from preoperative values to 3 and 24 hours after tourniquet release.

    Measured: Before surgical incision then 3 and 24 hours after tourniquet release

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane Volatile Liquid and Bupivacaine / SUFentanil in people with Knee Surgery With Tourniquet, run by University of Liege.

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 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 26 Mar 2020. 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?

Changes in plasmatic concentration of myeloperoxidase and elastase (time frame: Before surgical incision and one hour after tourniquet release). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Mar 2020.
