Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Metabolic acidosis is a life-threatening complication in the perioperative, intraoperative and postoperative period. It can cause decreased cardiac output, electrolyte imbalance, surgical bleeding and neurological complications, even coma and death in surgical patients.

Topiramate and zonisamide are sulfonamide derivative compounds used in the treatment of epilepsy. It has been shown in studies that both drugs have a strong inhibition of carbonic anhydrase enzyme. Recent case reports suggest that both drugs may cause metabolic acidosis by lowering serum bicarbonate levels in some patients.

Aim in this study is to determine the relationship between preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative metabolic acidosis and to emphasize the importance of anesthesia management in patients who have undergone craniotomy and use antiepileptic drugs.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who underwent craniotomy and intracranial surgery at Trakya University Medical Faculty Hospital and used antiepileptic drugs were included in the study as a retrospective file review. The files of 35 patients who met the study criteria were reviewed retrospectively.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing intracranial surgery with craniotomy and using antiepileptic drugs
  • ASA I-III
  • Patients undergoing elective surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a surgical procedure time of more than 5 hours
  • Patients who received more than 2 units of blood transfusion during the operation
  • Patients taking other drugs that can cause metabolic acidosis
  • Patients with diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, hepatic or renal disease

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Group 1
Patients who have used Zonisamide or Topiramate
Procedure: Arterial Blood Gas Base Deficit
The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.
Group 2
Patients who have used Lacosamide
Procedure: Arterial Blood Gas Base Deficit
The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.
Group 3
Patients who have used Carbamazepine
Procedure: Arterial Blood Gas Base Deficit
The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.
Group 4
Patients who have used levetiracetam
Procedure: Arterial Blood Gas Base Deficit
The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Preoperative Metabolic Acidosis
Time Frame: Baseline
The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.
Baseline
Intraoperative Metabolic Acidosis
Time Frame: during the operation
The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.
during the operation
Postoperative Metabolic Acidosis
Time Frame: Day 1
The base deficit values in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative blood gases taken from the patients and the presence and severity of metabolic acidosis were evaluated. Metabolic acidosis severity was defined by base deficit levels: mild from -3 to -5, moderate from -5 to -10, and severe metabolic acidosis below -10.
