  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients were screened in the electronic patient system, and were first screened for inclusion criteria, and afterwards exclusion criteria. Patients were eligible to enroll in the study if they were >18 years, spoke and understood Danish, signed an informed consent formula and underwent UKA in spinal anesthesia at Hvidovre Hospital. They were excluded if they had 1) pre-existing orthostatic hypotension or intolerance, 2) Alcohol or substance abuse, 3) everyday treatment with either anxiolytic or antipsychotic medicine 4) Cognitive dysfunction. 5) Or if surgery was converted to general anesthesia or total knee arthroplasty.

Who may be able to join

  • Age >18 years and
  • Patients undergoing UKA in spinal anesthesia at Hvidovre Hospital in a standardized fast-track setting.
  • Patients that speak and understand Danish
  • Written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Pre-existing orthostatic hypotension or intolerance
  • Alcohol or substance abuse
  • everyday treatment with either anxiolytic or antipsychotic medicine

About this study

Official title: Postoperative Incidence of Orthostatic Intolerance and Hypotension in Patients Undergoing Primary Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA)

Incidence and pathophysiologic hemodynamics of orthostatic intolerance and orthostatic hypotension in patients undergoing UKA

Read the detailed description

In today's multimodal fast-track perioperative care program (ERAS) early mobilization is an essential cornerstone, and is known to prevent postoperative morbidity and lower length of stay in the hospital. Intact orthostatic blood pressure regulation is necessary to complete mobilization, and postoperative orthostatic hypotension (OH), defined as a drop in systolic arterial pressure (SAP) > 20 mmHg or a drop >10 mmHg in diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) and orthostatic intolerance (OI), characterized by dizziness, nausea, feeling warm and syncope related to orthostatic challenge, are well-known reasons for delayed early mobilization, prolonged bedrest and delayed ambulation.

Former studies have been accessing the postoperative incidence in THA-patients (22%-40%), TKA-patients(36%), colorectal patients(53%), abdominal and cardiothoracic surgery patients(40%), radical prostatectomy patients (50%). One study have been accessing the postoperative incidence of OI in mastectomy patients and found an incidence of 4%, and thereby indicating that postoperative OI is not an issue in minor surgery.

This study is the first, to our acknowledgement, which accesses the postoperative incidence of OI/OH in UKA-patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orthostatic Hypotension and Orthostatic Intolerance, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 Dec 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Louise Bundsgaard Andersen, medical student (+45 41161599, louise.bundsgaard.andersen.01@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of orthostatic intolerance (time frame: 6 hours postoperatively). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04195360, 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?
