Trial Outcomes & Findings for Hyperbaric Bupivacaine Versus Hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% for Cesarean Section Under Spinal Anesthesia (NCT NCT02973048)

NCT ID: NCT02973048

Last Updated: 2020-07-02

Results Overview

Time to regression of motor block is the time between maximal blockade (score 1, as evaluated by the Modified Bromage scale), and no blockade (score 6). Degree of motor blockade is assessed before and 10, 15, 20 minutes after spinal anesthesia, then every 15 minutes until the end of surgery, and thereafter, every 30 minutes until complete regression of motor block

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: until complete release of sensory block (T12-S1) (average 4 hours)

Level of Sensory block is assessed as loss of sensation to cold, and represents the dermatomal level under which anesthesia is effective. It is measured every 2 minutes after spinal anesthesia during 15 minutes, then every 5 minutes until the end of surgery, thereafter, once 30 minutes until total regression of sensory block (T12-S1). A dermatome is the area of skin that is supplied by a single spinal nerve - Dermatome levels : C5-C8 for Cervical levels and T1-T4 for Thoracic levels. To perform cesarean section loss of cold sensation at a dermatome of at least T4 has to be obtained. The results are expressed as the number of patients reaching each dermatomal level from T4 and above (see below) as maximal sensory level, this is a usual outcome used to evaluate the quality of anesthesia.

Timeframe: up to 10 minutes after baby extraction

Newborn Apgar score assessed at 1, 5, 10 minutes after baby extraction. The Apgar score is determined by evaluating the newborn baby on five simple criteria on a scale from 0 to 2, then summing up the five values thus obtained. The overall resulting score ranges from 0 to 10 ( 0-3 : severely depressed, 4-6 : Moderately depressed and 7-10 : Excellent condition). The five criteria are summarized using words chosen to form an abbreviation (Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration).

Timeframe: average 1 hour

Newborn Methemoglobinemia (MetHb) will be assessed at delivery by cordal blood sample, as a routine control in obstetrics, and expressed as a percentage of total hemoglobinemia. Methemoglobinemia (MetHb) is a blood disorder in which an abnormal amount of methemoglobin (hemoglobin in the form metalloprotein) is produced. This specific type of of Hemoglobin carries oxygen through your blood but doesn't release it to the cells.
