Trial summary

General anesthesia and regional anesthesia can be chosen in cesarean operations. Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are components of general anesthesia. Endotracheal intubation has been shown to cause increased intracranial pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter and Cerebral Regional Oxygen Saturation Measurements Between General and Spinal Anesthesia Applications in C-Section

General anesthesia and regional anesthesia can be chosen in cesarean operations. Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are components of general anesthesia. Endotracheal intubation has been shown to cause increased intracranial pressure. There is not enough information about the effect of spinal anesthesia on intracranial pressure during cesarean operations. Increased intracranial pressure can cause neurological complications by disrupting brain perfusion. For this reason, the investigators think that the safe anesthesia method should be determined especially in pregnant patients who are at risk of increased intracranial pressure.

What is being measured

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

    The change in intracranial pressure via optic nerve sheath diameter measurement during c-section among 5 time point.

    Measured: Throughout the surgery

  2. Change in regional cerebral oxygen saturation

    The change in regional cerebral oxygen saturation during c-section among 5 time point.

    Measured: Throughout the surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Perioperative Hemodynamic Parameters

    Mean arterial pressure in mmHg

    Measured: Throughout the surgery

  2. Perioperative Hemodynamic Parameters

    Heart rate beat per minute

    Measured: Throughout the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measurement in people with Intracranial Pressure Increase, run by Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 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 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?

Change in Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (time frame: Throughout the surgery). 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 NCT04446013, 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 9 Sep 2020.
