Trial summary

This study targets patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery. The investigators would like to compare two factors that influence intracranial pressure through optic nerve sheath diameter measurement. First factor is intraperitoneal pressure. Second factor is epidural pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

This study targets patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery.

The investigators would like to compare two factors that influence intracranial pressure through optic nerve sheath diameter measurement.

First factor is intraperitoneal pressure.

Second factor is epidural pressure.

The investigators divided the patients into three groups.

Group A is patients with laparoscopic gastric surgery who received epidural injection through an thoracic epidural catheter.

Group B is patients with laparoscopic gastric surgery who don't received epidural injection through an thoracic epidural catheter.

Group C is patients with open gastric surgery.

Being tested
Epidural injection through thoracic epidural catheter, Without epidural injection
Keywords
ONSD, pneumoperitoneum, epidural
Medical subject headings
Pneumoperitoneum

What participants receive

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

  • Epidural injection through thoracic epidural catheterProcedure or surgery

    The investigators inject drugs through a catheter inserted into the thoracic epidural space to control pain after surgery in patients undergoing gastric surgery by laparoscopy.

  • Without epidural injectionProcedure or surgery

    The investigators don't epidural injection to find out the effect of only inter-abdominal pressure on intracranial pressure.

What is being measured

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

  1. T0 : Optic nerve sheath diameter

    The investigator measures Optic nerve sheath diameter by ultrasonography.

    Measured: 10 minutes after anesthesia induction

  2. T1 : Optic nerve sheath diameter

    The investigator measures Optic nerve sheath diameter.

    Measured: 10min after entering the laparoscope

  3. T2 : Optic nerve sheath diameter

    The investigator measures Optic nerve sheath diameter.

    Measured: 1hour after entering the laparoscope

  4. T3 : Optic nerve sheath diameter

    The investigator measures Optic nerve sheath diameter.

    Measured: 10min after the laparoscopy comes out

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Epidural injection through thoracic epidural catheter and Without epidural injection in people with Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter and Pneumoperitoneum, run by Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact JiSeob Kim (01027487480, demiandew@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

T0 : Optic nerve sheath diameter (time frame: 10 minutes after anesthesia induction). 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 NCT04758013, 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 17 Feb 2021.
