Trial summary

Sugammadex is used to reverse the neuromuscular blocking effect of steroid neuromuscular blockers. Its cardiovascular effects and effect on brain cortex, if any, may be associated to the reversal of the neuromuscular block. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sugammadex on Hemodynamics, Oxygenation, End-tidal CO2, Entropy and Bispectral Index Intraoperatively Without Steroid Neuromuscular Blocker

Sugammadex is used to reverse the neuromuscular blocking effect of steroid neuromuscular blockers. Its cardiovascular effects and effect on brain cortex, if any, may be associated to the reversal of the neuromuscular block. The aim of the study was to investigate the pure effects of sugammadex in the absence of the agonist.

Read the detailed description

Three groups of patients undergoing elective major surgery and given cis-atracurium for muscle relaxation are studied.

Group 1 receives 2 mg/kg of sugammadex when a count of two of the train of four appears Group 2 receives 4 mg/kg of sugammadex when a posttetanic count 1-3 appears Group 3 receives 16 mg/kg of sugammadex three minutes after administration of cis-atracurium.

Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, oxygen saturation, end-tidal CO2, entropy and bispectral index are recorded every three minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing sugammadex, Sugammadex 4 mg/kg and Sugammadex 16mg/kg in people with Surgical Procedure, Unspecified, run by University of Athens at 1 site in Greece.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Argyro Fassoulaki, MD, PhD, DEAA (+30210 9024530, fassoula@aretaieio.uoa.gr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Entropy (time frame: every three minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jun 2012.
