About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Correlation Between the Success of Obtaining Unilateral Spinal Anesthesia and the Measurement of Perfusion Index (pi).

Investigation of the correlation between the success of obtaining unilateral spinal anesthesia and the measurement of perfusion index (pi).

Read the detailed description

Target sites for spinal anesthetics are spinal nerve roots and spinal cord. Differences in the anatomy of the nerve roots may explain the variability that occurs during spinal anesthesia. Spinal anesthesia is the cessation of nerve conduction for a while by injection of local anesthetic drug into the cerebrospinal fluid. It is one of the most effective and oldest regional anesthesia techniques. Unilateral spinal anesthesia, on the other hand, aims to limit the distribution of the spinal block to the operated side for all operations involving only one lower extremity. Reducing the dose of local anesthetic, pencil-point needles, injection speed, lateral decubitus position and non-isobaric anesthetic solution are the main factors in the formation of a unilateral spinal block. It requires slightly longer preparation time compared to standard spinal anesthesia, but provides fewer hemodynamic side effects with higher cardiovascular stability, increased postoperative autonomy and better patient acceptance. Perfusion index (PI) is a numerical value showing the ratio between pulsatile and nonpulsatile blood flow. PI works by measuring changes in finger peripheral perfusion via pulse oximetry. If the procedure is successful in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia, vasodilation occurs in the lower extremities due to sympathetic nerve blockage and perfusion increases. Pulse oximetry perfusion index (PI) was used in our study to indicate vasodilation associated with sympathectomy. We will examine whether the success of unilateral anesthesia in the spinal anesthesia performed in our hospital correlates with the increase of the perfusion index value measured with the finger probe, except for patient-based methods, and whether the perfusion index shows more objectively the block success than other patient-based traditional methods.

What is being measured

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

  1. perfusion index is my indicator of unilateral spinal anesthesia

    Pulse oximetry perfusion index (PI) was used in our study to indicate vasodilation associated with sympathectomy. We will examine whether the success of unilateral anesthesia in the spinal anesthesia performed in our hospital correlates with the increase of the perfusion index value measured with the finger probe, except for patient-based methods, and whether the perfusion index shows more objectively the block success than other patient-based traditional methods.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inguinal Hernia, run by Adiyaman University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 27 Sep 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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 öznur uludağ (05052309730 ext. +904162231690, uludagoznur@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

perfusion index is my indicator of unilateral spinal anesthesia (time frame: 1 month). 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 Sep 2021.
