About this study

Official title: Impact of Auditory Evoked Potential Index Monitoring on Bronchoscopic Examination in the Mechanical Ventilated Patients - A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study

To compare the difference of sedation monitoring for bronchoscopic examination monitoring by auditory evoked potentials (AEP) or Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) in mechanical ventilated patients.

Conditions
Sedation Method
Being tested
AEP monitor, Ramsay Sedation Scale

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AEP monitorDevice

    In AEP monitoring group, nurses adjusted propofol dose according to AAI values. If AAI>40, titrate up propofol dosage, AAI<25, titrated down propofol dosage.

  • Ramsay Sedation ScaleProcedure or surgery

    During bronchoscopy, nurses adjusted propofol dose according to Ramsay Sedation Scale.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of mean arterial pressure, heart rate and AAI

    During bronchoscopy, we recorded AAI number, blood pressure and heart rate every 5 minutes, totally up to 40 minutes.

    Measured: 40 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. mean propofol dose use during examination, times of propofol dose adjustment

    Measured: 40 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AEP monitor and Ramsay Sedation Scale in people with Sedation Method, run by Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2011. 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 Taiwan. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of mean arterial pressure, heart rate and AAI (time frame: 40 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01448811, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Oct 2011.
