About this study

Official title: The Effect of Different Bed-Head Angles on the Haemodynamic Parameters of Intensive Care Patients

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different bed-head angles given to patients lying in the supine position in an intensive care unit on the haemodynamic parameters of central venous pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and peripheral oxygen saturation.

Methods: The study was conducted with 50 intensive care patients aged 18 and over in a general surgery intensive care unit in Turkey. With each patient in the supine position, the bed-head was raised to an angle of 0, 20, 30 and 45 degrees without a pillow, and the haemodynamic parameters of central venous pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and peripheral oxygen saturation were recorded after 0 and 10 minutes.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different bed-head angles given to patients lying in the supine position in an intensive care unit on the haemodynamic parameters of central venous pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and peripheral oxygen saturation.

Design: This was a non-randomised quasi-experimental repeated measures study. Settings: The study was conducted with 50 intensive care patients aged 18 and over in a general surgery intensive care unit in Turkey.

Methods: With each patient in the supine position, the bed-head was raised to an angle of 0, 20, 30 and 45 degrees without a pillow, and the haemodynamic parameters of central venous pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and peripheral oxygen saturation were recorded after 0 and 10 minutes. The data obtained was evaluated using the Mann-Whitney test, the Kruskal Wallis test and the Bonferroni test.

Being tested
the bed-head was raised to an angle of 0, 20, 30 and 45 degrees
Keywords

Medical subject headings

Study groups in NCT06020768
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
the different bed-head angles in the supine positionExperimentalThe researcher brought the patient to the supine position with the bed-head at 0 degree, and immediately (minute 0) made haemodynamic measurements: central venous pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and peripheral oxygen saturation. It was taken into account that this could change haemodynamic parameters, and immediately after a 10-minute period of rest, the same haemodynamic measurements were repeated. After this, the bed-head was adjusted to an angle of 20 degree, and the same procedure was repeated, with measurements after 0 and 10 minutes. The same procedure was followed with the bed-head raised to 30 degree and then to 45 degree. In positioning the patients' bed-heads to different angles, a spirit level and a protractor were used.
Receives: Other: the bed-head was raised to an angle of 0, 20, 30 and 45 degrees

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing the bed-head was raised to an angle of 0, 20, 30 and 45 degrees in people with Thyroidectomy and Colon Surgery, run by Uludag University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

central venous pressure (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Sep 2023.
