Trial summary

It is difficult to measure the several levels of intracranial pressure during abdominal surgery, and direct monitoring with intracranial devices is often impossible. Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) via ultrasonography has been developed as an alternative method for evaluating intracranial pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Patients Underwent Laparoscopic Colon and Gynecologic Surgeries During Trendelenburg Position.

It is difficult to measure the several levels of intracranial pressure during abdominal surgery, and direct monitoring with intracranial devices is often impossible. Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) via ultrasonography has been developed as an alternative method for evaluating intracranial pressure. Increased intracranial pressure may cause in expanding of the optic nerve sheath and may increase the diameter. Therefore, measuring the diameter of the optic nerve sheath via ultrasonography is considered as a non-invasive, easy-to-apply and reliable method to evaluate intracranial pressure.

Read the detailed description

The peritoneum is inflated with carbon dioxide (insufflation) and head-down position is performed (Trendelenburg) during laparoscopic colon and gynecologic surgeries. Intracranial pressure (ICP) may be affected by positive intraabdominal pressure due to pneumoperitoneum. The Trendelenburg position (usually at a degree of 25-400) causes increasing in the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid during surgery. Therefore, cerebral edema and an increasing in ICP may occur. It is difficult to measure the several levels of intracranial pressure during abdominal surgery, and direct monitoring with intracranial devices is often impossible. Measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) via ultrasonography has been developed as an alternative method for evaluating intracranial pressure. The optic nerve is an extension of the central nervous system, surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and continues with the nerve sheath. Increased intracranial pressure may cause in expanding of the optic nerve sheath and may increase the diameter. Therefore, measuring the diameter of the optic nerve sheath via ultrasonography is considered as a non-invasive, easy-to-apply and reliable method to evaluate intracranial pressure.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the changes of optic nerve sheath diameter in patients who will undergo laparoscopic colon and gynecologic surgery during trendelenburg position. Our primary goal is to compare the optic nerve sheath diameters via ultrasonography, and our secondary aim is to evaluate the effect of this change on intracranial pressure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colon Disease and Gynecologic Disease, run by Medipol University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Optic nerve sheath diameter (time frame: Change from baseline optic nerve sheath diameter at 10 mins and 60 mins after trendelenburg. And 10 minutes after the re-neutral position). 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 NCT04428229, which also lists 3 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.

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 20 May 2021.
