About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Low Cardiac Output Undergoing Local Dental Anesthesia With and Without Epinephrine: Randomized, Double-blind Pilot Study

Patients with low cardiac output syndrome requiring surgical and periodontal dental treatment will be selected to undergo the dental procedure using local dental anesthetic: 2% lidocaine with epinephrine and 2% lidocaine without vasoconstrictor. Cardiovascular events and the safety of using two cartridges (3.6 mL) will be evaluated. They will be evaluated by Holter monitoring in the period of 1 hour before, during and 1 hour after the procedure and blood pressure correction will be performed

Being tested
Anesthetic infiltration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Anesthetic infiltration in people with Low Cardiac Output Syndrome, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

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

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?

Amount ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmia (time frame: during dental procedures). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06355882, which also lists 15 linked publications.

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.
