About this study

Official title: Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Patients Undergoing Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery in the Lithotomy Position

In this study, the effect of increased venous return and increased intra-abdominal pressure on intracranial pressure in the lithotomy position was evaluated.

Read the detailed description

In the lithotomy position, it is possible that venous return in the lower extremities increases and intra-abdominal pressure increases due to the position. At the same time, it is possible that the intracompartmental pressure in the extremities increases because the venous structure is compressed by placing the lower extremities on supports. Considering both conditions, it is predicted that there may be an increase in the optic nerve sheath diameter due to increased intracranial pressure in patients placed in the lithotomy position. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the position on intracranial pressure by ultrasonographically evaluating the optic nerve sheath diameter in the lithotomy position.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of lithotomy position on optic nerve sheath diameter

    In patients in the lithotomy position, the linear probe of the ultrasound will be placed on the patient's upper eyelid in a transverse and longitudinal manner without applying compression, and the optic nerve's entry into the orbit will be visualized and measured. The increase in the optic nerve sheath diameter will be recorded by measuring at 7 different times in total.Before general anesthesia (t1), 3 minutes (min.) (t2) and 5 min. (t3) after general anesthesia, 3 min. (t4) and 5 min. (t5) after lithotomy position was given, before lithotomy position was corrected (t6) and when 10 minutes after patients go to the recovery room (t7).

    Measured: intraoperative and postoperative 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Optic Nerve Cup and Intracranial Pressure Increase, run by Başakşehir Çam & Sakura City Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 5 Aug 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Cansu Ekici (+905322036054, cansugun00@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effect of lithotomy position on optic nerve sheath diameter (time frame: intraoperative and postoperative 10 minutes). 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 NCT06464419, which also lists 3 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.

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 5 Aug 2024.
