About this study

The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate the impact of tourniquet application on cardiac efficiency through the cardiac cycle efficiency parameter and to explore how central regional technique alters this effect compared to general anesthesia.

We aim to answer the following main questions: 1) Does the use of a tourniquet reduce cardiac efficiency? 2) Does the impact of tourniquet use on cardiac efficiency vary with general anesthesia or central regional technique? The patients included in the study will be divided into two groups based on whether they receive general anesthesia or combined spinal epidural anesthesia.The patients' cardiac cycle efficiency and advanced hemodynamic monitoring parameters will be recorded during procedure.

Read the detailed description

After obtaining ethical committee approval (ATADEK; 2022-14/12), 43 patients undergoing elective unilateral total knee arthroplasty under tourniquet were enrolled in our prospective observational study. Patients were divided into two groups: general anesthesia (Group GA: 22 patients) or combined spinal epidural anesthesia (Group CSEA: 21 patients). Cardiac and vascular parameters were recorded using the new algorithmic application of arterial wave analysis called Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM) at 9 time points: (T1) pre-anesthesia, (T2) post-anesthesia before tourniquet inflation, (T3-8) during tourniquet inflation, and (T9) after tourniquet deflation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac Cycle Efficiency (CCE), which measured with the MostCare (Vytech, Vygon, Padua, Italy) device employing the Pressure Recording Analytic Method (PRAM).

    The CCE value must be less than 1. Approaching zero or falling to a negative value indicates a decrease in cardiac efficiency and activation of the myocardial compensation mechanisms. The PRAM minimises artefacts and data variability in patients with haemodynamic instability with its high resolution by acquiring 1000 data per second.

    The CCE parameter, which we utilized to assess the impact of tourniquet application on cardiac efficiency, was measured at the following time points: 1 minute before anesthesia induction (T1), 10 minutes after anesthesia induction, which is 1 minute before tourniquet inflation (T2), 10 minutes after tourniquet inflation (T3), 20 minutes after tourniquet inflation (T4), 30 minutes after tourniquet inflation (T5), 60 minutes after tourniquet inflation (T6), 1 minute before tourniquet deflation (T7), 1 minute after tourniquet deflation (T8), and 5 minutes after tourniquet deflation (T9).

    Measured: 1 minute before and 10 minutes after anesthesia induction, 10-2-30-60 minutes after tourniquet inflation, 1 minute before tourniquet deflation, 1 minute and 5 minutes after tourniquet deflation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orthopedic Disorder and Hemodynamic Instability, run by Merve Şeker 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 3 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 11 Dec 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?

Cardiac Cycle Efficiency (CCE), which measured with the MostCare (Vytech, Vygon, Padua, Italy) device employing the Pressure Recording Analytic Method (PRAM). (time frame: 1 minute before and 10 minutes after anesthesia induction, 10-2-30-60 minutes after tourniquet inflation, 1 minute before tourniquet deflation, 1 minute and 5 minutes after tourniquet deflation). 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 11 Dec 2023.
