What is being measured

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

  1. Change of the optic nerve sheath diameter

    The optic nerve sheath of each eye is observed using ultrasound, and the optic nerve sheath diameter is assessed after induction of anesthesia and at the end of surgery.

    Measured: At 1 minute after the induction of anesthesia and at 1 minute after the end of surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Optic nerve sheath diameter at each time point

    The optic nerve sheath of each eye is observed using ultrasound, and the optic nerve sheath diameter is assessed after induction of anesthesia and at the end of surgery.

    Measured: At 1 minute after the induction of anesthesia and at 1 minute after the end of surgery

  2. Nausea and vomiting

    Presence and severity of nausea and vomiting is assessed.

    Measured: At 1 hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter, run by SMG-SNU Boramae 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 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 17 Mar 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 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 the optic nerve sheath diameter (time frame: At 1 minute after the induction of anesthesia and at 1 minute after the end of 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 17 Mar 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
