About this study

Official title: The Effects of Endotracheal Intubation or Laryngeal Mask Applications on Optic Nerve

Endotracheal intubation and laryngeal mask are generally applied to secure the airway during general anesthesia. There is a widespread opinion among anesthesiologists that endotracheal intubation increases intracranial pressure. Since there were no non-invasive methods measuring intracranial pressure in the past, adequate studies on this subject could not be done. With this measurement, we aimed to show whether ETT or LMA applications have effects on intracranial pressure.

Read the detailed description

In normal pediatric patients with closed fontanelles, the contents of the central nervous system are almost compressed into the skull and spinal canal. Intracranial pressure is created and constant by the total volume of brain, CSF, and blood within the skull. Increased intracranial pressure can be measured with an intraventricular catheter, transducers, and a subarachnoid bolt. By measuring the diameter of the optic nerve sheath with ultrasonography, we can find out whether there is an increase in intracranial pressure non-invasively.

    In this study, we aimed to show whether endotracheal intubation or LMA applications with optic nerve sheath diameter measurement, which is a completely non-invasive method, have effects on intracranial pressure.

Study groups in NCT05445271
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1Active comparator30 patients who will be intubated with a video laryngoscope and who meet the inclusion criteria are randomly selected by lottery method. After obtaining the consent of the patient's family, the patient is taken to the operating room and monitored. 5 minutes after sedation with 1 mg midazolam, the optic nerve sheath diameter of both eyes is measured with a linear ultrasound probe and recorded (T0). 5 minutes after the patient is intubated with a video laryngoscope, the optic nerve sheath diameter of both eyes is measured and recorded (T1). After the patient's extubation at the end of the case, the optic nerve sheath diameter of both eyes is measured and recorded (T2). Vitals (pulse, blood pressure, saturation) involved in T0, T1 and T2 processes are recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optic nerve sheath diameter measurement with linear ultrasound in people with Optic Nerve Sheath Neoplasm and Intracranial Pressure Increase, run by Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 6 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Feyza Calisir (05056492875, fbolcal@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Optic nerve sheath diameter measurement at pediatric patients (time frame: 6 months). 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 6 Jul 2022.
