Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of Ureteral Patency in the Post-indigo Carmine Era (NCT NCT02677623)

NCT ID: NCT02677623

Last Updated: 2019-05-30

Results Overview

This is a 10-cm visual analog scale to determine which method of evaluating ureteral patency is most satisfactory to physicians. The smiley face is at one end and the frowning face is at the other end. Smiling is 1 and frowning is 10. The scale is completed by surgeon, anesthesiologist and the circulator by placing an "x" or a "mark" anywhere on the 10 cm line towards how good and or bad each person felt about the of process of patency assessment that was used. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity (worse outcome).

Measure
A- Pyridium
* Method of administration: oral * Dose: 200 mg PO with small sip of water * Known adverse events: yellow discoloration of skin or sclera, 1-10% central nervous system effects including headache and dizziness, GI effect of cramping, \< 1% acute renal failure, methemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia, hepatitis, rash, skin pigmentation, vertigo, stomach cramps * Contraindications: to be used in caution in patients with renal impairment Cr Cl \< 50ml/minute and in patients who are receiving nitric oxide, prilocaine and sodium nitrite as it can cause methemoglobinemia Pyridium
B- Sodium Fluorescein
* Method of administration: intravenous * Dose: 25 mg * Known adverse events: nausea, vomiting, flushing or rash, hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions can occur following injection and immediate treatment with epinephrine should be available, skin and urine discoloration (urine may appear bright yellow for 24-36 hours), extravasation may cause skin sloughing, toxic neuritis and phlebitis, nausea, rare cardiac arrest and seizure, * Contraindications: use with caution in patients with history of hypersensitivity, allergies or asthma Sodium Fluorescein
C- Mannitol
* Method of administration: irrigant during cystoscopy * Dose: 300cc during cystoscopy to visualize the ureters * Known adverse events: dysuria, polyuria, hyponatremia with excess absorption, potential increased risk of urinary tract infection * Contraindications when used as a genitourinary irrigation solution: anuria Mannitol
Control- Normal Saline
* Method of administration: irrigant during cystoscopy * Dose: 300cc * Known adverse events: no known significant adverse events * Contraindications: none Normal Saline

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Intraoperative

Population: Inclusion criteria stipulated women age \>18 years who desired elective, scheduled gynecologic or urogynecologic surgery. Women were excluded if they were pregnant; had a known urologic anatomical anomaly; or had a history of adverse reaction or contraindication to use of phenazopyridine, sodium fluorescein, or mannitol.
