Estimation of the ED95 of Intrathecal Hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% With Sufentanyl for Scheduled Cesarean Delivery

Registration Number
NCT03036384
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre
Brief Summary

Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% associated with opioids is the local anesthetic the most commonly used for spinal injection in cesarean section. Nevertheless, its use often results in a long duration of motor nerve block and a haemodynamical instability. Recently developped, the Prilocaine, with its new 2% hyperbaric formulation, seems to offer a good alternative for hyperbaric bupivicaine. A first study has determined the ED95 of hyperbaric prilocaine 2% for intrathecal anesthesia in scheduled cesarean delivery. As opioid adjuvants potentiate the effect of the local anesthetics while decreasing their dose-related side effects, the aim of this study is to determine the ED95 of hyperbaric prilocaine 2% with sufentanyl for scheduled cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia,by using the Continual Reassessment Method (CRM)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Success of Anesthesiaduring surgery (average 1 hour)

The nerve blockade will be considered as success when a bilateral T4 level will reach in 15 minutes after intrathecal injection without additional epidural injection needed within 45 minutes peri-operative ; no pain at the skin incision, no pain during 45 minutes after the skin incision

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Needing Vasopressorsduring surgery (average 1 hour)

Arterial blood pressure will be measured at every 2.5 minute during surgery, then at every 20 minutes in the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit). Vasopressors were given for patients with low blood pressure.

A low blood pressure is defined as a blood pressure lower than 20% or more than the basal blood pressure (Systolic blood pressure before spinal anesthesia).

Number of Participants With Transient Neurologic Symptoms (TNS)up to 5 Days

TNS are defined as pain and/or dysesthesia occurred after complete release of sensory block at the gluteal level, at the thighs and at the legs. At Day 0, Day 1, Day 3 and Day 5

Sensitive Block DurationUntil complete release of sensory block (T12-S1) (average 4 hours)

Level of Sensory block assessed as loss of sensation to cold, 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).

Sensitive Block at End of SurgeryUntil complete release of sensory block (T12-S1) (average 4 hours)

Level of Sensory block assessed as loss of sensation to cold, 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). For this study, dermatome levels are depicted on a scale ranging from 1 to 18. (1 to 12 = T1-T12 thoracic levels; 13 to 17 = L1-L5 lumbar levels; 18 = S1 sacral level)

Motor Block DurationUntil complete release of motor block (Bromage scale = 1; average 4 hours)

Bromage scale (1 = no motor block; 2 = hip blocked; 3 = hip and knee blocked; and 4 = hip, knee, and ankle blocked) was used to evaluate the motor block every 15 minutes after spinal anaesthesia (T0) and until the end of surgery. Duration was defined from the time of the spinal injection until Bromage scale = 1.

Bromage Motor Block Level at End of SurgeryUntil complete release of motor block (average 4 hours)

Bromage scale (1 = no motor block; 2 = hip blocked; 3 = hip and knee blocked; and 4 = hip, knee, and ankle blocked) was used to evaluate the motor block every 15 min after spinal anaesthesia (T0) and until the end of surgery.

Newborn Apgar Scoreup 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).

Newborn Methemoglobinemia (MetHb)average 1 hour

Newborn Methemoglobinemia (MetHb) will be assessed at delivery by cordal blood sample, as a routine control, and expressed as a percentage of total hemoglobinemia.

Number of Participants With Nausea or Vomitingup to 24 hours after surgery

from 15 minutes after spinal anesthesia and every 4 hours for 24 hours (score 0=no symptoms; 1=symptoms with no treatment necessary; 2=symptoms present and treated)

Number of Participants With PruritusUp to 24 hours after surgery

from 15 minutes after spinal anesthesia and every 4 hours for 24 hours (score 0=no symptoms; 1=symptoms with no treatment necessary; 2=symptoms present and treated)

Number of Participants With Urinary RetentionUp to 24 hours after surgery

All parturients will be questioned for urinary retention (yes or no)

Number of Participants With DizzinessUp to 24 hours after surgery

All parturients will be questioned for dizziness (yes or no)

Number of Satisfied Participantsup to 1 hour after surgery

Maternal satisfaction (yes or no) will be assessed 1 hour after surgery in the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit)
