About this study

Official title: US-guided Combined Segmental Thoracic Spinal Epidural Anesthesia in Comparison With General Anesthesia for Upper Abdominal and Breast Surgeries - A Randomized Control Study

Ultrasound-guided combined thoracic segmental spinal epidural anesthesia in comparison with general anesthesia in upper abdominal and breast surgery.

Read the detailed description

The first group (S) will be given ultrasound-guided thoracic segmental spinal anesthesia at the level of T10 interlaminar space, patients will be in sitting position, a combined spinal epidural tray will be used. In this group, SonoSite C60x/5-2 MHz M-Turbo Convex Probe ultrasound Transducer to identify the T10 interlaminar space and after complete sterilization, the investigator will introduce the epidural needle in a Paramedian in plan approach till the epidural space. The spinal needle is then introduced through the epidural needle not more than 0.5 cm beyond the Dura matter. 2cc of heavy Marcaine plus 25 ug fentanyl are injected through the spinal needle. The epidural catheter is then threaded through the Touhy needle after withdrawal of the spinal needle to keep only 4cm up in the epidural space.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing combined thoracic segmental spinal epidural anesthesia in people with Pain, Postoperative, run by South Egypt Cancer Institute 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 1 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 2 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?

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?

MAP (time frame: Change from Baseline Systolic Blood Pressure at one day post operative). 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 2 Nov 2022.
