General Plus Spinal Anesthesia and General Anesthesia Alone on Right Ventricular Function

June 1, 2017 updated by: Ganesh Kumar Munirathinam, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research

Comparative Effect of Combined High Spinal and General Anaesthesia With General Anaesthesia Alone On Right Ventricular Function In Patients With Mitral Valvular Disease With Pulmonary Hypertension

The investigator hypothesize that High Spinal Anesthesia (HSA) by its effect on attenuation of stress response, decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance, myocardial protection and positive myocardial oxygen balance will cause improvement in right ventricular function. So far there is no study that has evaluated the effect of HSA anesthesia on the right ventricular function, hence the investigator planned this study to compare the effect of HSA on the right ventricular function in patients with mitral valve disease with moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension planned for mitral valve replacement surgery.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

All study patients will undergo routine TTE and TEE examination protocol followed at the investigator institution. All the other routine monitoring such as end tidal carbon dioxide, urine output, ABG, ACT, BIS, electrolytes, blood sugar, hemoglobin and ventilatory parameters etc for open heart surgery will be done as per institutional practice. In the study group, the patients will receive spinal anesthesia after placement of invasive lines and prior to induction of GA.In both the study group GA will be induced with midazolam 1-2 mg, fentanyl 2μ/kg and propofol titrated to achieve loss of consciousness. Inj. Vecuronium bromide 0.1mg/kg will be used as muscle relaxant to facilitate tracheal intubation and lignocaine spray (LOX 10% spray, Neon laboratories LTD, Thane, India) will be used over vocal cords prior to intubation to blunt the sympathetic stimulation.

Subsequently anesthesia will be maintained in both the groups, with isoflurane inhalation to maintain BIS values between 40 to 60. In control group, fentanyl infusion 1μ/kg/hr will be started for analgesia, a similar looking infusion without fentanyl will be started in the spinal group.All patients will be shifted to ICU with inotropic and vasopressor support as per the hemodynamic condition.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 60 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Improvement of right ventricular function defined by 20% increase in the TAPSE in the study group when compared to the control group
Time Frame: Till patient got discharged from ICU, an average of 5 days
Till patient got discharged from ICU, an average of 5 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
