Trial summary

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is becoming a popular procedure due to its unique advantages. Despite these advantages, pneumoperitoneum and steep trendelenburg position are associated with hemodynamic instability and elevated intracranial pressures (ICP). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Ultrasonographic Measurement of the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter and Its Association With Eyeball Transverse Diameter in Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) is becoming a popular procedure due to its unique advantages.

Despite these advantages, pneumoperitoneum and steep trendelenburg position are associated with hemodynamic instability and elevated intracranial pressures (ICP).

Read more

Ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is an indirect but also a generally accepted reliable and noninvasive measurement of elevated ICP. However, optimal cut-off values are highly inconsistent due to multiple factors (gender, height, weight). To eliminate the effects of these factors on the results; a ratio should be established in patients known to have elevated ICPs.

In a recent study ONSD/ eyeball transverse diameter(ETD) in healthy volunteers in a specific population was established.

60 patients without any history of ICP undergoing RALRP will be enrolled to the study. Ultrasonographic measurement of ONSD and ETD will be performed 10 minutes after induction of general anesthesia, 10 minutes after CO2 pneumoperitoneum with trendelenburg positioning and measurements will be repeated hourly and at last after returning to supine position without CO2 pneumoperitoneum at the end of the procedure.

Hemodynamic variables and BIS values on this specific times will be recorded and an arterial sample will be obtained.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Elevated Intracranial Pressure and Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter, run by Hacettepe 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 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 2 Oct 2018. 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 Başak Akça (00905322275451, drbasakakca@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Association of the Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter With Eyeball Transverse Diameter in Robot-assisted Prostatectomy (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03691025, 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 2 Oct 2018.
