Investigating oxygen levels in varicose vein patients during spinal anesthesia
Association Between Sensory Block Level, Oxygen Therapy, and ORi in Varicose Vein Patients Undergoing Spinal Anesthesia: A Correlation Study
Kocaeli University · NCT06566690
This study is testing how oxygen levels change in patients with varicose veins during spinal anesthesia to see if better monitoring can help keep them safe during surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the relationship between the Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI), peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2), and oxygen therapy in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia for varicose vein treatment. By monitoring both ORI and SpO2, the study seeks to provide insights into how these measurements can help prevent hypoxia and hyperoxia during surgery. The research will focus on patients with varying levels of sensory block to understand how spinal anesthesia affects respiratory function and oxygenation. The findings could enhance perioperative care by improving oxygen management in these patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients classified as ASA I-II who are undergoing spinal anesthesia for varicose vein treatment.
Not a fit: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), significant smoking history, cancer, interstitial lung disease, high BMI, or those refusing spinal anesthesia will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to better oxygen management during spinal anesthesia, reducing the risks of hypoxia and hyperoxia for patients.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of ORI in conjunction with SpO2 monitoring is a relatively novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in improving oxygen management during anesthesia.
