Trial Outcomes & Findings for Chloroprocaine Spinal Anesthesia for Cervical Cerclage (CP Spinal) (NCT NCT02862912)

NCT ID: NCT02862912

Last Updated: 2020-12-24

Results Overview

The mean difference between groups in time between the end of spinal injection (t IT) to time for no motor block (t motor), i.e. tIT - T motor. Motor block will be assessed using the Bromage scale: Bromage Scale I = free movement of the legs and feet = no block II = able to flex knees, with free movement of feet = partial (33%) block III = unable to flex knees, but with free movement of the feet = almost complete (66%) block IV = unable to move legs or feet = complete block (100%)

Bupivacaine (BUP)
Patients in BUP group will receive hyperbaric 0.75% bupivacaine 9 mg (1.4 ml), with fentanyl 15 mcg (0.3 ml), with saline (0.3 ml) to bring the volume to \~ 2 ml Bupivacaine: A dextrose Solution is usually given as an injection - 9 mg (1.4 ml) Fentanyl: 15 mcg Fentanyl will be included int he spinal anesthetic in both groups Saline: Preservative free normal saline (0.3 ml) to bring the volume to \~ 2 ml

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 hours

Population: One protocol violation in the chloroprocaine group led to 22 subjects being analyzed. One block failure in the bupivacaine group led to 19 subjects being analyzed. During analysis it was noted that the motor and sensory block resolution data was missing for 2 subjects in the bupivacaine group so only partial data was available. As a result, 17 participants were analyzed in the bupivacaine group.

The mean difference between groups in time between the end of spinal injection (t IT) to time for no motor block (t motor), i.e. tIT - T motor. Motor block will be assessed using the Bromage scale: Bromage Scale I = free movement of the legs and feet = no block II = able to flex knees, with free movement of feet = partial (33%) block III = unable to flex knees, but with free movement of the feet = almost complete (66%) block IV = unable to move legs or feet = complete block (100%)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 hours

Population: In practice, time to void coincided with time to ambulate (to use toilet) and the data is therefore identical to time to ambulate (also time to meet discharge criteria in practice). One protocol violation in the chloroprocaine group led to 22 subjects being analyzed. One block failure in the bupivacaine group led to 19 subjects being analyzed.

Time from spinal anesthesia injection to ability to void spontaneously.
