  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: We aim to include patients that are scheduled for elective, radical open abdominal prostatectomy. Thus only male patients of 18 years or older will participate. Patients with chronic pain therapy (e.g. out-of-hospital opioid therapy) will be excluded from the study.

Who may be able to join

  • elective, radical abdominal prostatectomy
  • >18 years

Who cannot join

  • chronic pain therapy (e.g. out-of-hospital opioid therapy)
  • laparoscopic approach

About this study

Official title: Impact of Spinal Anesthesia on Peri-operative Opioid Consumption in Open Abdominal Prostatectomy- a Retrospective Analysis

Retrospective analysis to assess the impact of spinal anesthesia on peri-operative opioid consumption during open abdominal prostatectomy. The authors compare the group that had spinal anesthesia in combination with propofol sedation and a laryngeal mask to the second group that underwent the same procedure in general anesthesia with tracheal intubation.

What participants receive

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

  • Open abdominal prostatectomyProcedure or surgery

    Patients undergo standardized open abdominal prostatectomy.

Study groups in NCT03565705
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Spinal anesthesia with propofol sedationPatients receive spinal anesthesia for analgesia to undergo open abdominal prostatectomy. Ventilation is secured via a laryngeal mask under propofol sedation and no muscular blocking is necessary.
Receives: Procedure: Open abdominal prostatectomy
General anesthesiaGeneral anesthesia is conducted with a combination of intravenous opioid (sufentanil) and neuromuscular blocking agent for open abdominal prostatectomy. Patients receive an induction bolus of propofol, undergo tracheal intubation and maintenance of sedation by sevoflurane.
Receives: Procedure: Open abdominal prostatectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-operative opioid consumption

    Consumption of piritramid [mg] in PACU.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Intra-operative opioid consumption

    Consumption of sufentanil [mg] during surgery. Piritramid is given if NRS score is > 3.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Pain maximum

    Postoperative pain level measured with the highest score in numeric pain rating scale (NRS)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Postoperative recovery time

    Time interval between postoperative tracheal extubation and the patient reaching fit-for-discharge criteria from the PACU to the ward.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. PONV/Shivering

    Occurence of post-operative nausea and vomiting or shivering in PACU.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain, Postoperative and Opioid Use, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 Jan 2019. 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 Germany. 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?

Post-operative opioid consumption (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT03565705, 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 28 Jan 2019.
