Trial summary

Spinal anesthesia is widely accepted as the anesthetic method of choice for Cesarean section. However, the incidence of spinal hypotension is 50-70%, and the decrease in blood pressure is often rapid and severe. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 years and older
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: ANI monitor will be applied to all patients, but will be covered with black papar so that it could not be observed during anesthesia. ANI data recorded at 1 second intervals will be downloaded at the end of anesthesia.

Who may be able to join

  • full-term parturients undergoing cesarean delivery

Who cannot join

  • emergent surgery, placenta previa, Morbid obesity with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2, Gestational age < 36 or ≥ 41 weeks, Contraindications to spinal anesthesia, cardiac arrhythmia, implantable pacemaker, diseases affecting the autoimmune system (such as immune disease or diabetic neuropathy), use of medications affecting ANI monitoring (antimuscarinics, alpha-agonists, beta blockers), illiteracy, or foreigners

About this study

Official title: Predictability of ANI (Analgesia Nociception Index) for Hypotension After Spinal Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Cesarean Section

Spinal anesthesia is widely accepted as the anesthetic method of choice for Cesarean section. However, the incidence of spinal hypotension is 50-70%, and the decrease in blood pressure is often rapid and severe. Heart rate variability is influenced by various factors such as the sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, temperature regulation, baroreflex, and endocrine regulation, but high frequency heart rate variability above 0.15 Hz very specifically reflects the parasympathetic nervous system. The ANI monitor calculates heart rate variability mediated by changes in the parasympathetic nervous system. This study aims to determine whether ANI monitor can predict hypotension in patients undergoing a caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia while applying the preemptive vasopressor phenylephrine infusion protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. predictive value of ANI monitor for spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery

    Investigators will determine the predictive power of the ANI score change for the occurrence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia by drawing a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the change in ANI score (baseline value - minimum value) and calculating the area under the ROC curve.

    Measured: the occurence of hypotension at (within) 1 hour after spinal anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Optimal cutoff value of ANI level for predicting occurrence of hypotension

    Investigators will determine the optimal cutoff value of ANI level for predicting hypotension after spinal anesthesia.

    Measured: the occurence of hypotension at (within) 1 hour after spinal anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cesarean Section and Spinal Anesthesia, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2024. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Seung Hyun Kim, Associate Professor (82-2-2224-1055, anesshkim@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

predictive value of ANI monitor for spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery (time frame: the occurence of hypotension at (within) 1 hour 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 27 Mar 2024.
