Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The healthy pregnant women with previous operative deliveries admitted for elective C-section will be counselled and conditioned informed consent will be taken to be included in either study group if dense pelvic adhesions will be found during their operation. Adhesiolysis will be performed using bladder retro-fill with 300cc saline in the cystoinflation group, and without retro-fill in control.Both groups will be observed for bladder injury rate,bloodloss,operativetime,urinary tract infection,micturition problems and fistula formation.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Cystoinflation
N/A

Detailed Description

Investigators will conduct this study to find the effectiveness of cystoinflation to prevent bladder injury in women with adhesions of previous C-sections. This prospective analytic longitudinal study will be conducted in Lady Willingdon Hospital, a tertiary care teaching hospital affiliated with King Edward Medical University Pakistan, from August 2017 to July 2019, after approval by the institutional review board of King Edward Medical University, Pakistan. The subjects will be randomly allocated to cystoinflation and control groups. The healthy pregnant women with previous operative deliveries admitted for elective C-section will be counselled and conditioned informed consent will be taken to be included in either study group if dense pelvic adhesions will be found during their operation. Adhesiolysis will be performed using bladder retro-fill with 300cc saline in the cystoinflation group, and without retro-fill in control. We will assess primary outcome by observing bladder injury rate, blood loss and operative time. The secondary outcome will be assessed by Urinary tract infection, micturition problems and fistula formation during 3month follow up period. The cystoinflation will be considered effective if the proportion of bladder injury in the study group will be less than 50% of the control group.

Actual Enrollment :
214 participants
Allocation:
Randomized
Intervention Model:
Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
Subjects will be assigned into cystoinflation group and control group after parallel assignment. In the cystoinflation group, the intervention will be retro-fill of the bladder with 300cc saline and clamping the drainage port of the catheter till the completion of adhesiolysis. In contrast, the urinary catheter of control group patients will be put on free drainage. Each group will be further divided into bladder injury arm and distension arm(No bladder injury arm)Subjects will be assigned into cystoinflation group and control group after parallel assignment. In the cystoinflation group, the intervention will be retro-fill of the bladder with 300cc saline and clamping the drainage port of the catheter till the completion of adhesiolysis. In contrast, the urinary catheter of control group patients will be put on free drainage. Each group will be further divided into bladder injury arm and distension arm(No bladder injury arm)
Masking:
Single (Participant)
Masking Description:
The participants and outcome assessors are kept blind by just entering the random number assigned to the subject on the papers and notes are written without details of adhesiolysis. The completed outcome performas are sent to the assessors with the only random number entered and without the assigned group. The random number file is opened only after receiving results from the statistician. The care providers in theatre and principle surgeon cannot be blinded in this study.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Bladder Injury Rate [From the confirmation of adhesions to adhesiolysis and separation of bladder flap from uterus, before delivery of the baby during cesarean section.This time frame can range between 10-20 minutes.]

      The bladder injury will be detected by direct visualization in the cesarean section before delivery of the baby during adhesiolysis of dense adhesions of the lower uterine segment, which cover and obscure the bladder. The bladder injury outcome will be measured as the number(percentage) of subjects with injury.

    2. Blood Loss [From the confirmation of adhesions to adhesiolysis and separation of bladder flap from uterus, before delivery of the baby during cesarean section.This time frame can range between 10-20 minutes.]

      Amount of blood loss during C-section will be increase in weight of sponges used during operation, taking 1gram equal to 1cc.

    3. Operative Time [During Caesarean section]

      Time from incision till closure of skin

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. White Blood Cells Count Per High Power Feild [3rd postoperative day]

      The normal white cell count ranges between 4000-11000 per microlitre. The raised count is an indication of postoperative infection.

    2. Urine Culture Report for Micro-organisms [2nd postoperative day]

      The outcome measure was the number(percentage) of subjects in which urine culture reports showed the growth of micro-organisms in the urine of the subjects sent for test on the second postoperative day.

    3. Fever [upto 3months]

      Number of patients who presented with fever during hospital stay

    4. Postmicturition Bladder Volume After C-section [upto 3months]

      Volume of urine retained in bladder after evacuation. Bladder distension will be diagnosed if volume retained in the bladder will be greater than 50cc measured on 4th postoperative day

    5. Composite Micturition Problems During Hospital Stay [Complaint recorded during hospital stay (range between 4-21 days)]

      The micturition problems during the hospital stay investigated in this study were dysuria, feeling of incomplete evacuation, frequency, urgency, urethral and extra-urethral incontinence), Dysuria was expressed by the subject as painful micturition using an 11point visual analogue Scale from zero to ten and converted into severity scores from 0-3. Score 0 or no point= 0 point on scale Score1 or mild pain=1-3point Score2 or Moderate Pain=4-6points; Score 3 or Severe Pain=.7-10 Other micturition problems (feeling of incomplete evacuation, frequency, urgency, urethral and extra-urethral incontinence) were measured subjectively on a 4point Likert scale questionnaire according to severity ranging from 0-3 (0-never, 1-rarely, 2-sometimes, and 3-often). The micturition problems of each subject were summed up as composite variables and both groups were compared for the mean value of the composite variable and standard deviation in spss20 statistical software.

    6. Duration of Urinary Catheterization [upto 3months]

      The time interval for which subject will be kept catheterized postoperatively.

    7. Duration of Hospital Stay [upto 3months]

      The time interval in days from the date of operation till discharge from the hospital.

    8. Number of Subjects With Urinary Fistula Formation [upto 3months]

      abnormal communication between genital tract nd urinary tract

    9. Composite Micturition Problems After Discharge [upto 3months]

      IT is composit Likert score(range from 0-3) of micturition problems recorded by patient after discharge from the hospital to the completion of 3months postoperative(follow up period).The lower value of the score is associated with good outcome while higher value shows a poor outcome.

    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Cystoinflation Group, Control Group
    Comments Null Hypothesis: During the cesarean section of women with adhesions of the previous cesarean section that obscure the bladder, the bladder injury rate is not significantly decreased in cystoinflation group compared to the control. In this study, the bladder injury rate was seven times lesser in cystoinflation group compared to the control, thereby strongly supporting our hypothesis. The power of the study for bladder injury was 0.988, calculated with statistical software G'Power version 3.1.
    Type of Statistical Test Other
    Comments Other Primary outcomes were the extent of injury, operative time, blood loss and proportion of subjects receiving a blood transfusion. Postoperatively, subjects were assessed for secondary outcomes of UTI, micturition problems, and fistula formation during the hospital stay and for the next 3 months. Postoperative micturition problems were feeling of incomplete evacuation, frequency, urgency, urethral and extra-urethral incontinence.

    Arm/Group Description Cystoinflation: Bladder will be retro-filled with 300cc saline to distend the bladder to recognize bladder outline in cystoinflation group whenever dense adhesions will be encountered which obscure the bladder either before or after opening the peritoneal cavity. Bladder outline will be recognized by observing its gradual distension during bladder retro-fill .The outcome of cystoinflation group will be divided into distension arm(no bladder injury arm) and bladder injury arm. In control group,Pelvic adhesiolysis will be performed with bladder put on free drainage by urinary catheter.The outcome of control arm will be divided into distension arm(no bladder injury arm) and bladder injury arm.

    8. Secondary Outcome
    Title Composite Micturition Problems During Hospital Stay
    Description The micturition problems during the hospital stay investigated in this study were dysuria, feeling of incomplete evacuation, frequency, urgency, urethral and extra-urethral incontinence), Dysuria was expressed by the subject as painful micturition using an 11point visual analogue Scale from zero to ten and converted into severity scores from 0-3. Score 0 or no point= 0 point on scale Score1 or mild pain=1-3point Score2 or Moderate Pain=4-6points; Score 3 or Severe Pain=.7-10 Other micturition problems (feeling of incomplete evacuation, frequency, urgency, urethral and extra-urethral incontinence) were measured subjectively on a 4point Likert scale questionnaire according to severity ranging from 0-3 (0-never, 1-rarely, 2-sometimes, and 3-often). The micturition problems of each subject were summed up as composite variables and both groups were compared for the mean value of the composite variable and standard deviation in spss20 statistical software.
    Time Frame Complaint recorded during hospital stay (range between 4-21 days)
