A New Approach of Neostigmine in Unavoidable Post Operative Ileus
This study has been completed.
Sponsored by: Baqiyatallah Medical Sciences University
Information provided by: Baqiyatallah Medical Sciences University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00676377
  Purpose

Postoperative ileus (POI) in the absence of any mechanical obstruction remains a commonly encountered clinical problem.So, this study aimed to show the effective way to decrease the rate of postoperative Ileus (POI).


Condition Intervention Phase
Ileus
Drug: Neostigmine
Drug: Saline
Phase IV

Drug Information available for: Neostigmine Neostigmine bromide Neostigmine Methylsulfate
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Supportive Care, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A New Approach of Neostigmine in Unavoidable Post Operative Ileus After Surgery

Further study details as provided by Baqiyatallah Medical Sciences University:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • show the effective way to decrease the rate of postoperative Ileus (POI). [ Time Frame: 6 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • abdominal circumference, colonic diameters, and clinical response were again measured. [ Time Frame: 3 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental
Neostigmine
Drug: Neostigmine
2.5 mg of neostigmine intravenously in 250 ml normal saline over a period of thirty minutes ,Half Life 3 Hours
2: Placebo Comparator
Placebo
Drug: Saline
Saline Placebo

Detailed Description:

We honestly declare that, the use of parasympathomimetic agents such as neostigmine is not without risk. Patients with underlying bradyarrhythmias or those receiving β-adrenergic antagonists may be more susceptible to neostigmine-induced bradycardia. Similarly, neostigmine increases airway secretions and bronchial reactivity, which may exacerbate active bronchospasm. Recently, a new class of drugs—peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonists—may help enhance multimodal management of POI. Although, the cost benefit of the new class of drugs is debated. It has been suggested that the individual components of multimodal protocols—for example, laparoscopy—may reduce certain post surgical morbidities (including POI) But do not by them prevent POI. Therefore, combinations of strategies with demonstrated effectiveness—early feeding , epidural analgesia, laparoscopic surgery, and use of peripherally acting mu-opioid-receptor antagonists—may help transform the reactive approach to POI into a proactive multimodal paradigm that effectively targets the diverse etiologic factors leading to this common clinical problem.
