About this study

Official title: Factors Associated With Failed Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery, a Retrospective Case-control Study

The aim of this study is to reveal the factor associated with failed spinal anaesthesia in cesarean delivery. We conduct the retrospective case-control study to elucidate the involving factors.

Read the detailed description

Spinal anaesthesia is the anaesthetic technique of choice of patients undergoing cesarean delivery due to its rapid onset, good reliability and good efficacy. However, the inadequate or failed spinal anaesthesia can occur. The previous literatures revealed incidence of failed spinal anaesthesia was as high as 0.5-6%. Failure of spinal anaesthesia leads to numerous maternal and neonatal consequences. Those failed spinal anaesthesia patients required general anaesthesia with endotracheal tube which may cause several complications such as hypoxia, difficult intubation, failed intubation and pulmonary aspiration. Also, a recent network meta-analysis showed general anaesthesia decreasing neonatal Apgar score.

The factors that associated with failed spinal anaesthesia in cesarean delivery has been studied. The amount of local anaesthetic, needle type, patients' body mass index (obesity), and experiences of the anaesthetist performing spinal block influenced the failure of spinal anaesthesia. The details and factors of failed spinal anaesthesia in our hospital was scarce. It has not yet been published in the literature.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to reveal the factor associated with failed spinal anaesthesia in cesarean delivery. We conduct the retrospective case-control study to elucidate the involving factors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Age

    Factors involving failed spinal anaesthesia for cesarean delivery: patient age

    Measured: At starting operation

  2. Body mass index

    Factors involving failed spinal anaesthesia for cesarean delivery: patient body mass index (BMI) : weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2

    Measured: At starting operation

  3. Anaesthesiologist performing spinal anaesthesia

    Factors involving failed spinal anaesthesia for cesarean delivery: Anaesthesiologist performing spinal anaesthesia (resident or consultant)

    Measured: At starting anaesthesia

  4. Time starting of operation

    Factors involving failed spinal anaesthesia for cesarean delivery: at which time cesarean delivery starting to performed eg. in office hour or out of office hour

    Measured: At starting operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of failed spinal anaesthesia for cesarean delivery

    Incidence of failed spinal anaesthesia for cesarean delivery

    Measured: At starting operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia; Adverse Effect and Cesarean Section Complications, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 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 11 Apr 2023. 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 Thailand. 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?

Age (time frame: At starting operation). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04685980, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Apr 2023.
