About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effects of Different Intra-abdominal Pressures on Optic Nerve Size Measured by Orbital USG in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery

In intensive care patients, high intraabdominal pressure is frequently encountered. Intra-abdominal pressure is often measured as high, especially after major abdominal surgery procedures. In recent years, various studies have reported that the increase in optic nerve diameter measured by ultrasound correlates with the level of intracranial pressure. Optic nerve diameter measurement with ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure. Intra-abdominal pressure measurements are also routinely performed in intensive care patients. In the measurement of abdominal pressure, the bladder catheter, which is already available in every patient who comes to intensive care, is used. In this study, the intra-abdominal pressure values present in the file of each patient undergoing major abdominal surgery who were taken to intensive care unit will be taken. Orbital USG will be performed on the 6th, 12th and 24th hours on admission to the intensive care unit to measure the diameter of the optic nerve, and the relationship between the intra-abdominal pressure value and optic nerve diameters will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

In intensive care patients, high intraabdominal pressure is frequently encountered. Intra-abdominal pressure is often measured as high, especially after major abdominal surgery procedures. This situation creates ischemia in the abdominal organs in the patient, decreases venous return as a result of inferior vena cava compression and leads to a decrease in cardiac output. In addition, intracranial pressure frequently increases as a result of the venous circulation being affected. In recent years, various studies have reported that the increase in optic nerve diameter measured by ultrasound correlates with the level of intracranial pressure. Optic nerve diameter measurement with ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure. Intra-abdominal pressure measurements are also routinely performed in intensive care patients. In the measurement of abdominal pressure, the bladder catheter, which is already available in every patient who comes to intensive care, is used. In this study, the intra-abdominal pressure values present in the file of each patient undergoing major abdominal surgery who were taken to intensive care unit will be taken. Orbital USG will be performed on the 6th, 12th and 24th hours on admission to the intensive care unit to measure the diameter of the optic nerve, and the relationship between the intra-abdominal pressure value and optic nerve diameters will be investigated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Major Surgery and Intraabdominal Hypertension, run by Trakya 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 21 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?

optic nerve diameter (time frame: within 2 hours of admission). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Sep 2020.
