Impact of Chloroprocaine (CLOROTEKAL®) on Eligibility for Discharge From Hospital After Outpatient Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Spinal Anesthesia
Outpatient Surgery
Registration Number
NCT02152293
Lead Sponsor
Nordic Pharma SAS
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess, in real life, the efficacy and the eligibility for discharge of a local anesthetic, CLOROTEKAL®, used for spinal anesthesia in short outpatient surgery.

Detailed Description

This is a longitudinal, observational, prospective, multicentre, national study, conducted in France, from a representative sample of physician anesthetists.

The efficacy and safety in real life of CLOROTEKAL® will be assessed in patients undergoing a short outpatient surgery under spinal anesthesia. Data will be collected by the physician during two visits (pre-anesthesia and per-postoperative consultation). Additional data regarding the patient's perception (safety, pain and satisfaction) will be collected using a self-questionnaire.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Impact of CLOROTEKAL® on the discharge from hospitalAverage time expected around 180 min after the surgery (Lacasse, 2011)
