Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparative Study Between Levobupivacaine and Ropivacaine in the Hip Fractures of the Elderly (NCT NCT04773301)

NCT ID: NCT04773301

Last Updated: 2024-07-19

Results Overview

The primary measure of efficacy in this study will be the difference in block duration. To evaluate this, the need for rescue medication will be assessed at several time points, including 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The duration of treatment for each patient will be considered until the evaluation of the analgesic scale corresponding to 48 hours after the procedure is performed.

Population: EVN, ALGOPLUS and PAINAD pain rating scales in patients treated with Levobupivacaine or Ropivacaine

This study aims to describe the behavior of the combined technique in hip fractures by establishing the latency of initiation. Latency: evaluated by analgesic scales up to 48 hours. Analgesic scales: EVN - numerical verbal scale- (0= No pain (min) - 10=The worst pain imaginable (max)), Algoplus (0=min - 5=max) and PAINAD -Paint Assessment in Advanced Dementia- (0=min - 10=Max). They will be carried out at 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after the procedure blocking. In both scales, the lowest values are those of better outcome and the highest are those of worst outcome. Need and rescue drugs: rescue analgesia will be prescribed for the hospital ward, in case it is necessary. The need, drug and time of administration will be collected regarding the execution of the blockade.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The duration of treatment for each patient will be considered until the evaluation of the analgesic scale corresponding to 48 hours after the procedure is performed.

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE version 5.0 will be used to report toxicity and adverse events.
