About this study

Official title: Effect of Different Fluid Volume on Ocular Parameters in Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery in Prone Position

The purpose of this trial is to compare the effect of different fluid volume infusion on ocular parameters in patients undergoing spine surgery in prone position.

Read the detailed description

In the prone position, the intraocular pressure and optic nerve sheath diameter increase progressively with time as compared with those in the supine position. Excessive fluid infusion may further increase intraocular pressure and optic nerve sheath diameter. Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is a dynamic index which can effectively assess fluid responsiveness during general anesthesia.Therefore,the investigators have designed a study to compare the effect of different fluid volume infusion guided by low and high PPV indices on intraocular pressure and optic nerve sheath of patients undergoing prone spine surgery with general anesthesia. One group of the patients will receive relatively loose fluid infusion (target value of PPV: 6%-9%),while the other group of the patients will receive limited fluid infusion (target value of PPV: 13%-16%).

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Ringer's Lactate solutionOther

    Patients in both groups will receive Ringer's lactate solution continuously during operation with different infusion volume.

  • Spine surgery under general Anesthesia in the prone positionProcedure or surgery

    The surgery, general anesthesia, and the placement of the prone position will be performed according to the standard procedures.

Study groups in NCT03890510
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Low PPV GroupActive comparatorAfter anesthesia induction, patients will receive spine surgery under general anesthesia in the prone position. Ringer's lactate solution will be infused at 1ml/(kg·h ) as a basal speed. Ringer's lactate solution at a volume of 250ml will be used as a bolus dose. Repeat bolus doses will be given to maintain PPV at 6~9% when necessary. Intraoptic pressure and optic sheath diameter will be measured at multiple time points.
Receives: Other: Ringer's Lactate solution; Procedure: Spine surgery under general Anesthesia in the prone position
High PPV GroupActive comparatorAfter anesthesia induction, patients will receive spine surgery under general anesthesia in the prone position. Ringer's lactate solution will be infused at 1ml/(kg·h ) as a basal speed. Ringer's lactate solution at a volume of 250ml will be used as a bolus dose. Repeat bolus doses will be given to maintain PPV at 13~16% when necessary. Intraoptic pressure and optic sheath diameter will be measured at multiple time points.
Receives: Other: Ringer's Lactate solution; Procedure: Spine surgery under general Anesthesia in the prone position

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of intraocular pressure

    Intraocular pressure will be measured with a TONO-PEN AVIA handheld tonometer.

    Measured: 10min after anesthesia induction(supine1), 10min after prone position(prone1), 1 hour after the prone position(prone2), 2 hour after the prone position(prone3),at the end of the surgery(prone4), and 10min after return to the supine position(supine2).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The change of the optic sheath diameter

    The optic sheath diameter will be measured with a Sonocite Portable Ultrasonic System EDGE.

    Measured: 10min after anesthesia induction(supine1), 10min after prone position(prone1), 1 hour after the prone position(prone2), 2 hour after the prone position(prone3),at the end of the surgery(prone4), and 10min after return to the supine position(supine2).

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03890510, which also lists 13 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.
