Trial summary

Based on the patient's heart rate variability, the analgesia nociception index (ANI) measures the activity of the autonomic nervous system and the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system and expresses it as a numerical value through a specific algorithm. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Heart Rate Variability Monitoring to Predict Hypotension Following Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery: Prospective Observational Study

Based on the patient's heart rate variability, the analgesia nociception index (ANI) measures the activity of the autonomic nervous system and the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous system and expresses it as a numerical value through a specific algorithm. The investigators will analyze it and see if it has the ability to predict severe hypotension following spinal anesthesia.

Being tested
analgesia nociception index (ANI) monitoring

What participants receive

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

  • analgesia nociception index (ANI) monitoringOther

    The ANI monitor starts lying on the bed in the waiting area before entering the operating room, and the monitoring period should be at least 15 minutes. After entering the operating room, monitoring begins again and is maintained during the operation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of averaged value

    The change of averaged value presented in ANI monitor

    Measured: 15 min, 10 min and 5 min before entering the operating room; every 5 min after entering the operating room

  2. The change of instantaneous value

    The change of instantaneous value presented in ANI monitor

    Measured: 15 min, 10 min and 5 min before entering the operating room; every 5 min after entering the operating room

  3. Total dose of injected phenylephrine

    Measured: During the anesthesia (from initiation of anesthesia until the end of anesthesia)

  4. Total dose of injected glycopyrrolate

    Measured: During the anesthesia (from initiation of anesthesia until the end of anesthesia)

  5. The change of systolic blood pressure

    Measured: Every 1 min after entering the operating room until finishing the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cesarean Section, run by Seoul National University Bundang 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 1 inclusion and 9 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 27 Jan 2025. 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?

The change of averaged value (time frame: 15 min, 10 min and 5 min before entering the operating room; every 5 min after entering the operating room). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 27 Jan 2025.
