Clinical Trial: The Effect of Epidural Anesthesia on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measurements in Total Knee Prosthesis Surgery

U.S., March 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07458321) titled 'The Effect of Epidural Anesthesia on Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measurements in Total Knee Prosthesis Surgery' on March 04.

Brief Summary: This study investigates the effects of epidural anesthesia on intracranial pressure (ICP) by using ultrasonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measurements as a non-invasive indicator. The study aims to determine if the volume of local anesthetic applied to the epidural space during total knee replacement surgery leads to transient increases in ONSD compared to spinal anesthesia. Participants are randomized into two groups to receive either epidural or spinal anesthesia, and their ONSD ...
