About this study

Official title: Preoperative Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Right Common Femoral Vein Diameter for Predicting Spinal Anesthesia-induced Hypotension in Elderly Patients. A Prospective Observational Study.

In this study we will determine the ability of preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation of the right common femoral vein diameter to predict spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients.

Being tested
preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation of right common femoral vein diameter

    preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation of right common femoral vein diameter to predict spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients

What is being measured

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

  1. The sensitivity of the transverse diameter (mm) value of the right common femoral vein as measured by ultrasound before anesthesia to predict spinal aneshesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients.

    Measured: 30 minutes after spinal anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly

    Measured: 30 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  2. The sensitivity of the peak velocity of blood flow (mm/s) in the right common femoral vein as measured by ultrasound before anesthesia to predict spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients

    Measured: 30 minutes after spinal anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Anesthesia-induced Hypotension, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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 8 Jan 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 Egypt. 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 sensitivity of the transverse diameter (mm) value of the right common femoral vein as measured by ultrasound before anesthesia to predict spinal aneshesia-induced hypotension in elderly patients. (time frame: 30 minutes after spinal anesthesia). 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 8 Jan 2024.
