About this study

Accidental dural puncture is an uncommon complication of epidural analgesia and can cause postdural puncture headache.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study the effectiveness of a protocol implemented in our department, according to the recommendations of good practice, on the reduction of the use of blood patchs in patients who have had an accidental dural puncture during the implementation of their spinal anesthesia, in order to prevent the use of the blood patch. In addition, intensity of headaches is evaluated.

What participants receive

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

  • collection of data from the medical recordOther

    collection of data from the medical record:

    1. During epidural space puncture = cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reflux, presence of glucose / strip, saline injection, intrathecal catheter insertion, intrathecal levobupivacaine and sufentanil injection, catheter insertion time, number of punctures, function of the person performing the procedure.
    2. Analgesia and hemodynamics during labor, blood pressure, pulse rate, amount of local anesthetic used, whether emergency cesarean section was performed
    3. Demographic data (age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI))
    4. Post-partum monitoring of decubitus or orthostatic headaches, intensity, any other associated clinical signs
    5. Analgesics used and their efficacy
    6. The use of one or more blood patches, with the volume injected and their efficacy
    7. Identification of the breach during epidural analgesia or after delivery
    8. Call the patient at 1 week to reassess the episode and its consequences.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spinal Anesthetics Causing Adverse Effects in Therapeutic Use, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

Number of epidural blood patch (time frame: Day: 7). 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 18 Jun 2023.
