About this study

Official title: Impact of a Strategy Combining Morphine Savings and a Loco-regional Anesthesia Technique on the Quality of Post-operative Rehabilitation of Cesareans Performed Under Peri-spinal Anesthesia

The aim of REHACESAR is to study the impact of an association of a low dose of neuraxial morphine and a locoregional anesthesia (TAP block or catheter for continuous wound infiltration) on quality of recovery after cesarean delivery under regional anesthesia.

To assess the quality of recovery, women complete the self-questionnaire Quality Of Recovery (QOR)15 on D-1 (the day before cesarean, if elective), D+1, +2 and +3 after surgery.

The QOR-15 is a 15 items questionnaire which provides a valid and efficient evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery.

REHACESAR is a prospective observational study. It takes place in the maternity of the CHR Metz-Thionville hospital.

Read the detailed description

Cesarean delivery is a very frequent surgical procedure. In France 20,4% of all births occur by cesarean section. Regional anesthesia (Spinal or epidural anesthesia) is the most common type of anesthesia for emergent or elective cesarean section.

HAS guidelines on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) include cesarean section. ERAS is a "multimodal perioperative care pathway designed to achieve early recovery for patients undergoing surgery". The aim is to avoid factors which delay recovery: nausea and vomiting, pain, postoperative ileus…

Postoperative analgesia is a key factor in ERAS because pain may prolong recovery and has a negative impact on rehabilitation. Among the multimodal analgesia we can use neuraxial morphine: epidural or intrathecal. Neuraxial morphine is effective for post-cesarean analgesia. Previous studies have attempted to determine the optimum intrathecal and epidural morphine doses. The aim is to provide the better analgesia with fewer side effects (pruritus, nausea and vomiting, ileus) Another way to provide analgesia is locoregional anesthesia: continuous wound infiltration and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAP) block.

The aim of REHACESAR is to study the impact of an association of a low dose of neuraxial morphine and a locoregional anesthesia (TAP block or catheter for continuous wound infiltration) on quality of recovery after cesarean delivery under regional anesthesia.

To assess the quality of recovery, women complete the self-questionnaire Quality Of Recovery (QOR)15 on D-1 (the day before cesarean, if elective), D+1, +2 and +3 after surgery.

The QOR-15 is a 15 items questionnaire which provides a valid and efficient evaluation of the postoperative quality of recovery.

REHACESAR is a prospective observational study. It takes place in the maternity of the CHR Metz-Thionville hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the QOR-15 D1 post-caesarean score between six different groups

    The QoR 15 score is a score of 15 items, each scored from 0 to 10. These items assess 5 dimensions of post-operative recovery: pain, physical comfort, functional autonomy, emotions and psychological support.

    These 15 items represent the quality of post-operative rehabilitation in its physical and mental dimensions

    Measured: day1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison between the different anesthesia groups of the post-operative period before resumption of gastrointestinal transit.

    The corresponding criterion will be the time in hours between surgery and the resumption of a gas transit

    Measured: day 3

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted7 May 2020
  2. Study start9 Sep 2019
  3. Primary completion1 Jul 2021
  4. Study completion1 Jul 2021

Why it stopped: Because of health context as well as the implementation of the RAAC caesarean section, which means that patients enter in the morning, and it is therefore no longer possible to do the QOR on D-1 and therefore to include scheduled caesarean sections

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cesarean Section Complications, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional Metz-Thionville at 1 site in France.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2022. 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Because of health context as well as the implementation of the RAAC caesarean section, which means that patients enter in the morning, and it is therefore no longer possible to do the QOR on D-1 and therefore to include scheduled caesarean sections). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Comparison of the QOR-15 D1 post-caesarean score between six different groups (time frame: day1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2022.
