About this study

Official title: Neuroprotective Effects of Lidocaine on Early Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Shoulder Arthroscopy With Beach Chair Position: a Randomized Trial

The beach chair position (BCP) combined with deliberate hypotension impair cerebral perfusion pressure and oxygenation during arthroscopic shoulder surgeries and produce cerebral ischemia.

Read the detailed description

Arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment of shoulder disorders have replaced open procedure as the primary treatment method. The beach chair (BCP) and lateral decubitus (LDP) positions are both considered as reliable techniques for performing effective arthroscopic shoulder surgeries. The usage of BCP for shoulder arthroscopic operations started from early 1980s.

The advantages of BCP include lack of brachial plexus strain, good intra-articular visualization, with the ease of conversion to an open approach if required.

The BCP combined with deliberate hypotension has been used to decrease intraoperative blood loss and allow a relatively blood-free surgical field. However, this combination has the risk to impair cerebral perfusion pressure and oxygenation during surgery and produce cerebral ischemia.

Lidocaine, a commonly used local anesthetic and class IB antiarrhythmic drug, that readily crosses the blood - brain barrier. Evans et al. initially reported cerebral protection of lidocaine in a feline model of cerebral arterial gas embolism. Later on, the effects of lidocaine on perioperative neuroprotection were detected. However, the mechanisms underlying lidocaine treatment-induced neuroprotection remain incompletely understood.

Lidocaine may provide cerebral protection through many mechanisms, including decreasing the cerebral metabolic rate, decelerating the ischemic transmembrane ion shift, and reducing the ischemic excitotoxin release.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LidocaineDrug

    Also called Xylocaine

    Patients will receive lidocaine in a loading dose of 1 mg/ kg diluted in 10 ml of normal saline that will be infused over 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia then followed by a continuous infusion at 1.5 mg/ kg/ h diluted in normal saline to a volume of 50 ml until the end of surgery

  • Normal salineDrug

    Patients will receive normal saline after induction of anesthesia with the same volume and rate changes as lidocaine group until the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Lidocaine and Normal saline in people with Cognitive Dysfunction, Postoperative, run by Assiut University 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 2 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Seham M Moeen, MD (01006386324 ext. 02, seham.moeen@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative cognitive function (time frame: 3 days after surgery). 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 8 Jan 2021.
