About this study

Official title: Comparison of 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch (130/0.4) and Crystalloid Coload Combined With Prophylactic Norepinephrine Infusion for Postspinal Anesthesia Hypotension in Patients Undergoing Caesarean Section

The purpose of this study is to investigate the ED50 and ED90 for an effective 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) or crystalloid coload combined with prophylactic norepinephrine infusion dose for postspinal anesthesia hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean section.

Read the detailed description

Post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is a frequent complication during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension is as high as 62.1-89.7% if prophylactic measures are not taken. Colloid fluid coload has been highly demonstrated for prevention and/or treatment of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension. In addition, there's some evidence that prophylactic infusion of norepinephrine could effectively reduce the incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension in parturients undergoing cesarean section. However, the ED50 and ED90 for an effective 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) or crystalloid coload combined with prophylactic norepinephrine infusion dose for postspinal anesthesia hypotension is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ED50 and ED90 for an effective 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) or crystalloid coload combined with prophylactic norepinephrine infusion dose for postspinal anesthesia hypotension in patients undergoing cesarean section.

What participants receive

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

  • Hydroxyethyl starchDrug

    Also called Colloid

    10 ml/kg 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) coload combined with an initial infusion dose of prophylactic norepinephrine (0.025 ug/kg/min) simultaneous with spinal anesthesia. The dose administered to subsequent patients varied by increments or decrements of 0.005 ug/kg/min of prophylactic norepinephrine according to the responses of previous patients according to the up-down sequential allocation.

  • CrystalloidDrug

    10 ml/kg crystalloid coload combined with an initial infusion dose of prophylactic norepinephrine (0.025 ug/kg/min) simultaneous with spinal anesthesia. The dose administered to subsequent patients varied by increments or decrements of 0.005 ug/kg/min of prophylactic norepinephrine according to the responses of previous patients according to the up-down sequential allocation.

What is being measured

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

  1. ED 50 and ED 90

    The dose of prophylactic norepinephrine combined with 10 ml/kg 6% Hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) or 10 ml/kg crystalloid coload that would be effective in preventing postspinal anesthesia hypotension in 50% (effective dose, ED 50) and 90% (ED90) of patients

    Measured: 1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The incidence of post-spinal anesthesia hypotension

    Systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 80% of the baseline

    Measured: 1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  2. The incidence of severe post-spinal anesthesia hypotension.

    Systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 60% of the baseline.

    Measured: 1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  3. The incidence of bradycardia.

    Heart rate < 60 beats/min.

    Measured: 1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  4. The incidence of nausea and vomiting.

    Presence of nausea and vomiting in patients after spinal anesthesia

    Measured: 1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  5. The incidence of hypertension.

    Systolic blood pressure (SBP) >120% of the baseline.

    Measured: 1-15 minutes after spinal anesthesia

  6. pH

    From umbilical arterial blood gases.

    Measured: Immediately after delivery

  7. Partial pressure of oxygen (PO2)

    From umbilical arterial blood gases.

    Measured: Immediately after delivery

  8. Base excess (BE)

    From umbilical arterial blood gases.

    Measured: Immediately after delivery

  9. APGAR score

    A= Appearance P=Pulse G=Grimace A=Attitude R=Respiration

    Measured: 1 min after delivery

  10. APGAR score

    A= Appearance P=Pulse G=Grimace A=Attitude R=Respiration

    Measured: 5 min after delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydroxyethyl starch and Crystalloid in people with Adverse Effect, run by General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 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 22 Mar 2023. 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 China. 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?

ED 50 and ED 90 (time frame: 1-15 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 22 Mar 2023.
