About this study

Official title: The Effects of Intravenous Administration of Ketamine on the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) Measured With the PhysioDoloris Device

This study evaluates effects of the analgesic ketamine on ANI measurements (Anti Nociceptive Index)

Read the detailed description

Researchers at the University of Washington are doing this study to find out if a commonly used anesthetic affects patients Analgesia Nociception Index (level of pain relief) during abdominal hysterectomy under general anesthesia.

The investigators will administer routine anesthesia care including Ketamine, a commonly used anesthetic, during the patients surgery. During the patients surgery, the investigators will monitor the patients level of pain relief using the PhysioDoloris monitor, which monitors the routinely used EKG monitor. Though not yet FDA approved, the PhysioDoloris is completely non-invasive and collects data from the EKG monitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean ANI Changes After Intubation

    ANI stands for Analgesia Nociception Index. Its a dimension less number computed by a pain monitor ranging from 0-100. An index of 100 means absent pain, and the number decreases as pain increases. ANI was measured pre- and post- Intubation

    Measured: Before vs after intubation

  2. Mean ANI Changes 3 Min After Ketamine Bolus

    ANI was measured pre- and post- i.v. ketamine administration

    Measured: Before vs 3 min after Ketamine adminstration

  3. Mean ANI Changes 5 Min After Ketamine Bolus

    ANI was measured pre- and post- i.v. ketamine administration

    Measured: Before vs 5 min after Ketamine adminstration

  4. Mean ANI Changes After Skin Incision

    ANI was measured pre- and post- skin incision

    Measured: Before vs after skin incision

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Mean BIS Changes After Intubation

    BIS was measured pre- and post-intubation.

    BIS, Bispectral index, is an indication of anesthesia depth and measured by a monitor during surgery (0-100 scale, range described below). Depth of sedation is calculated by measuring cerebral electric activity via an electroencephalogram (EEG).

    • 100-90: awake and responding appropriately to verbal stimulation
    • 80-70: responsive to loud commands or mild shaking
    • 60-40: unresponsive to verbal stimulus; general anesthesia obtained with a low chance for explicit recall
    • <40: deep hypnotic state; possible protective responses still intact
    • <20: burst suppression (EEG pattern characterized by cycles of high-voltage electrical movement alternating with cycles of no activity in the brain); respiratory drive is limited, but possible protective responses still intact
    • 0: totally suppressed EEG (flat line)

    Measured: Before vs after intubation

  2. Mean BIS Changes 3 Min After Ketamine Bolus

    BIS was measured pre- and post-Ketamine administration.

    BIS, Bispectral index, is an indication of anesthesia depth and measured by a monitor during surgery (0-100 scale, range described below). Depth of sedation is calculated by measuring cerebral electric activity via an electroencephalogram (EEG).

    • 100-90: awake and responding appropriately to verbal stimulation
    • 80-70: responsive to loud commands or mild shaking
    • 60-40: unresponsive to verbal stimulus; general anesthesia obtained with a low chance for explicit recall
    • <40: deep hypnotic state; possible protective responses still intact
    • <20: burst suppression (EEG pattern characterized by cycles of high-voltage electrical movement alternating with cycles of no activity in the brain); respiratory drive is limited, but possible protective responses still intact
    • 0: totally suppressed EEG (flat line)

    Measured: Before vs 3 min after Ketamine adminstration

  3. Mean BIS Changes After Skin Incision

    BIS was measured pre- and post-skin incision.

    BIS, Bispectral index, is an indication of anesthesia depth and measured by a monitor during surgery (0-100 scale, range described below). Depth of sedation is calculated by measuring cerebral electric activity via an electroencephalogram (EEG).

    • 100-90: awake and responding appropriately to verbal stimulation
    • 80-70: responsive to loud commands or mild shaking
    • 60-40: unresponsive to verbal stimulus; general anesthesia obtained with a low chance for explicit recall
    • <40: deep hypnotic state; possible protective responses still intact
    • <20: burst suppression (EEG pattern characterized by cycles of high-voltage electrical movement alternating with cycles of no activity in the brain); respiratory drive is limited, but possible protective responses still intact
    • 0: totally suppressed EEG (flat line)

    Measured: Before vs after skin incision

  4. Mean Heart Rate Change After Intubation

    Heart rate assessed by continuous pulse oximetry. Heart rate was measured pre- and post-intubation.

    Measured: Before vs after intubation

  5. Mean Heart Rate Change 3 Min After Ketamine Bolus

    Heart rate was measured pre- and post- Ketamine administration

    Measured: Before vs 3 min after Ketamine adminstration

  6. Mean Heart Rate Change After Skin Incision

    Heart rate was measured pre- and post-skin incision.

    Measured: Before vs after skin incision

  7. Change in Mean Arterial Pressure After Intubation

    MAP or mean arterial pressure is the average blood pressure of an individual and is measured non-invasively during surgery. MAP was measured pre- and post-intubation.

    Measured: Before vs after intubation

  8. Change in Mean Arterial Pressure After 3 Min After Ketamine Bolus

    MAP was measured pre- and post-ketamine administration

    Measured: Before vs 3 min after Ketamine adminstration

  9. Mean MAP Changes After Skin Incision

    MAP was measured pre- and post- skin incision.

    Measured: Before vs after skin incision

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Monitoring, Intraoperative, run by University of Washington at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 5 Aug 2019. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Mean ANI Changes After Intubation (time frame: Before vs after intubation). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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?
