About this study

To determine the effectiveness of saddle block vs spinal anesthesia in TURP.

Read the detailed description

This study is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of saddle block vs spinal anesthesia in terms of haemodynamic stability and Vasopressor usage.

Being tested
0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine

What participants receive

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

  • 0.5% Hyperbaric BupivacaineDrug

    Also called Hyperbaric Bupivacaine

    In both groups 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine is given intrathecally and then saddle group is advised to stay in sitting position for next 5minutes so that drug can block only lower segments of nerves, Lumber 5th to Sacral dermatomes level. The spinal group is advised to take supine position immediately so that drug distribution be uniform uptill T10 level of spinal dermatome. Then outcomes regarding haemodynamic status and vasopressor usage are recorded

What is being measured

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

  1. Haemodynamic status

    Haemodynamic status includes pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and oxygen saturation.

    Pulse rate ranges between 60-100 beats/ minute. Pulse above 100 is called tachycardia and below 60 is called bradycardia Systolic blood pressure more than 140mmhg is called systolic hypertension and lower than 90mmhg is known as systolic hypotension.

    Diastolic blood pressure more than 90mmhg is called diastolic hypertension and lower than 60mmhg is called diastolic hypotension.

    Mean arterial pressure ranges between 70-110. More than 110 labeled as hypertension and below 70 means hypotension.

    Spo2 level below 94% is labeled as hypoxia.

    Measured: Haemodynamic status checked from 0minutes ( as the patient takes supine position) for every 5minutes interval till the end of surgery.

  2. Vasopressor usage

    The main side effect of intrathecal 0.5 % hyperbaric Bupivacaine is hypotension. That is countered by using vasopressor drug e.g inj. Ephedrine. Critically low blood pressure e.g systolic bp below 90mmhg, diastole c blood pressure below 60mmh and MAP below 60 is an indication for vasopressor introduction.

    Measured: Blood pressure is taken from 0minute (as the patient takes supine position) at every ⁵minutes interval till the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 0.5% Hyperbaric Bupivacaine in people with Haemodynamic Instability, run by Hamdard University at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 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 31 Mar 2022. 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 Pakistan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Haemodynamic status (time frame: Haemodynamic status checked from 0minutes ( as the patient takes supine position) for every 5minutes interval till the end of surgery.). The study lists 2 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 31 Mar 2022.
