About this study

Official title: Special Maternal Care Bundle to Attenuate Spinal Induced Hypotension in Cesarean Section

Cesarean Section (CS) is a common obstetric surgery that can be performed by both general or regional anaesthetic techniques. Hypotension is the most common complication of spinal anaesthesia, its incidence varying from 70% to 80 %, if severe, it can result in serious perinatal adverse outcomes, such as maternal nausea and vomiting, fetal acidosis and may be an important contributory factor for maternal death related to regional anaesthesia.

Read the detailed description

A variety of methods have been used for the prevention of post-spinal hypotension which includes the use of intravenous fluid, vasopressors, and physical methods such as table tilt, leg binders, and compression devices. However, a single technique is ineffective and a combination of interventions is suggested.

A care bundle is a group of three to five evidence-based interventions that, when performed together, have a better outcome than if performed individually. A care bundle consists of a group of (usually) between three and five evidence-based interventions. These are related to a particular condition or event for patient care.

Care bundles are well known in the field of intensive care medicine such as Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) care bundle, sepsis care bundle, and Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI) care bundle.

To our knowledge, till now, no one has investigated a special care bundle in the field of anaesthesia.

In this work, we will investigate the safety and efficacy of a special care bundle in controlling spinal induced hypotension.

What is being measured

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

  1. consumption of ephedrine

    The total consumption of ephedrine used to manage the spinal induced hypotension with CS

    Measured: immediately at the end of the surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. consumption of atropine

    The total consumption of atropine used to manage the spinal induced hypotension with CS

    Measured: immediately at the end of the surgery

  2. postspinal hypotension

    The incidence of postspinal hypotension in CS

    Measured: immediately at the end of the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing guidance in people with Hypotension and Cesarean Section Complications, run by Suez Canal 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 15 Nov 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

consumption of ephedrine (time frame: immediately at the end of the surgery). 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 15 Nov 2022.
