About this study

Anesthesia alters microcirculation and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2). We sought to examine changes in StO2 using near-infrared spectroscopy and a vascular occlusion test (VOT) during spinal anesthesia. This prospective observational study was included 51 patients without comorbidities who underwent elective surgery under spinal anesthesia. We measured the StO2 in the lower extremity during VOT before and after intrathecal injection.

Read the detailed description

The vascular occlusion test (VOT) procedure was conducted twice in each patient, before and 15 min after intrathecal injection. An near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) sensor (INVOSTM 5100C Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter; Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was attached to the patient's gastrocnemius muscle. A tourniquet (A.T.S ® 3000 Automatic Tourniquet System; Zimmer Inc., Warsaw, IL, USA) was applied to the thigh and inflated to a pressure value 50 mmHg over the patient's baseline systolic blood pressure in the leg and maintained for 5 min. After a 5-min ischemic period, the tourniquet was rapidly deflated to 0 mmHg. The tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) data was continuously recorded during the VOT procedure. After confirmation of spinal anesthesia using cold sensitivity, the VOT procedure was repeated in the same manner as mentioned above. The occlusion slope and recovery slope were calculated based on the measured StO2 data. The occlusion slope was defined as the descending slope of StO2 value until it reached the minimum value. The recovery slope was calculated from the deflation of the tourniquet until the recovery of StO2 to the maximum value.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of recovery slope between baseline and after spinal anesthesia

    Recovery slope is related to microvascular reactivity, was calculated from the deflation of the tourniquet until the recovery of tissue oxygen saturation to the highest value

    Measured: baseline and immediately after spinal anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Anesthesia, run by Pusan National University Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 10 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 19 Mar 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?

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 of recovery slope between baseline and after spinal anesthesia (time frame: baseline and immediately after spinal anesthesia). 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 19 Mar 2021.
