Trial summary

Intra-operative hypotension is linked to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Intra-operative MAP below 60-70 mmHg or SBP below 100 mmHg increase the risk of post operative myocardial injury, acute kidney injury and death. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Ability of Non-invasive Blood Pressure Measurement in the Dependent and Non-dependent Upper Extremities for Detecting Intra-operative Hypotension in the Lateral Position

Intra-operative hypotension is linked to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Intra-operative MAP below 60-70 mmHg or SBP below 100 mmHg increase the risk of post operative myocardial injury, acute kidney injury and death. accurate measurement of blood pressure is fundamental in proper mangement of intraperative hypotension.

Measurement of arterial blood pressure through an arterial catheter is restricted to patients with major, rapid changes in blood pressure in the operating room as well as the intensive care units. Among non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitors, oscillometric blood pressure measuring technology is considered the standard and the most widely used method in medical practice. In oscillometric blood pressure monitor, a pressure transducer located in the cuff senses the maximal arterial oscillation, which represents the mean arterial pressure, and according to the device's algorithm the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) will be calculated.

The upper arm is the standard location of application of the blood pressure cuff as it is aligned with the heart level regardless the patient position. Many surgical procedures, sometimes major, are conducted in the lateral position; during these operations, the choice of the side for application of the NIBP cuff is a challenging decision with no clear recommendations. The non-dependent upper limb is claimed to be inaccurate measurement site because the cuff position is above the level of the heart. While, the dependent upper limb might be affected by compression of the axilla and the upper arm. No data, to the best of our knowledge are available for the accuracy of NIBP in both upper limbs in the lateral position using the invasive arterial blood pressure (IBP) as a reference for detecting intraoperative hypotension.

Read the detailed description

Preoperatively, the upper limb circumference will be measured at the mid arm, and the NIBP cuff size will be selected according to the recommendations of American Heart Association (cuff length and width will be 80% and 40% of arm circumference respectively) Upon arrival to the operating room, a non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) reading will be obtained in both upper limbs in supine position. Patients with difference of 10 mmHg or above between both limbs will be excluded from the study.

Induction of general anesthesia will be achieved by administration of 2 mg/kg propofol, 2 mcg/kg fentanyl and 0.5 mg/kg atracurium. A 20 G radial arterial catheter will be inserted in the upper limb which is planned to be dependent. The arterial catheter will be connected to a pressure transducer at the level of the heart. Supine IBP reading will be recorded 5-minutes after intubation of the trachea in the supine position with simultaneous NIBP in both upper limbs at 3-minutes intervals. Five-minutes after settling in the lateral position, NIBP will be obtained alternating between the dependent and non-dependent limbs at 5-minutes intervals till the end of the operation or till reaching a maximum of 10 readings from each side.

The reading of the IBP will be obtained from the contralateral upper limb during inflation of the cuff of the NIBP. Whilst, the reading of the IBP will be obtained from the same upper limb just before the inflation of the cuff of the NIBP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-invasive Blood Pressure and Hypotension, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 19 Mar 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

accuracy of MAP measurement at dependent arm for detectiong intraoperative hypotension at lateral position (time frame: up to 100 minutes). 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 NCT04238052, 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 19 Mar 2020.
