About this study

Official title: Effects of Brachial Plexus Block Applied With Different Approaches on Tissue Oxygenation

The aim of this study is to measure the effects of sympathetic blockade caused by peripheral nerve blocks performed with the axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene approach on tissue oxygenation with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), to evaluate and compare the radial artery flow velocity and diameter in the blocked extremity, and to investigate whether there is a relationship with the quality of the sensory and motor block.

Read the detailed description

It has been reported that vasodilation after peripheral nerve blocks increases tissue oxygenation and increases arterial circulation on the ipsilateral side . Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), a noninvasive measurement method of tissue oxygen level, is used to measure regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation of arterial, venous and capillary blood .

Many studies have compared the effects of upper extremity peripheral nerve blocks on the onset, quality, extent, and postoperative pain of sensory and motor block through axillary, infraclavicular, supraclavicular and interscalene approaches.

The aim of this study is to measure the effects of sympathetic blockade caused by peripheral nerve blocks performed with the axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene approach on tissue oxygenation with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), to evaluate and compare the radial artery flow velocity and diameter in the blocked extremity, and to investigate whether there is a relationship with the quality of the sensory and motor block.

What participants receive

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

  • Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)Device

    Also called Regional Oximetry System (O3™, Masimo, Irvine, CA)

    After the brachial plexus block, the regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) was monitored for 30 minutes with the Regional Oximetry System (O3™, Masimo, Irvine, CA) and the radial artery diameter with ultrasound in the same period.

Study groups in NCT05269251
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Axillary Brachial Plexus BlockOur study includes 3 groups, 33 patients each who underwent axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene blocks. In the study, which of the axillary, infraclavicular and interscalene blocks will be preferred, will be decided by an experienced anesthesiologist in accordance with the type of surgery to be performed. Demographic data, comorbidities, and smoking will be questioned in each group, arterial blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, radial artery diameter and flow velocities will be recorded before peripheral nerve block is applied, and tissue oxygenation will be measured with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in the extremities with and without block. Tissue oxygenation, radial artery flow velocity and diameters, body temperature will be measured simultaneously at 0(basal)-5-10-15-20-25 and 30th minutes after the application of the block. test will be applied and the success of the procedure will be determined accordingly.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tissue Oxygenation, run by Gazi 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2024. 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?

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?

tissue oxygenation (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 1 Mar 2024.
