Thyroid Operation Under General AnesthesiaNCT01760018
Comparison Between Propofol-remifentanil Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Desflurane-remifentanil Balanced Anesthesia With Regard to Post-anesthetic Functional Recovery Measured With QoR-40
A study testing desflurane group and TIVA group in people with Thyroid Operation Under General Anesthesia, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.
Trial summary
Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia are both widely and safely used, and there are many clinical trials comparing these on various aspects of anesthesia. However, there have not been studies comparing the quality of recovery from the different methods of general anesthesia. Read more about this study

About this study
Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia are both widely and safely used, and there are many clinical trials comparing these on various aspects of anesthesia. However, there have not been studies comparing the quality of recovery from the different methods of general anesthesia. In this study, the investigators compare the functional recovery after general anesthesia in TIVA and inhalation anesthesia with QoR-40 questionnaire.
- Being tested
- desflurane group, TIVA group
- Keywords
- desflurane, total intravenous anesthesia, QoR-40
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
desflurane groupDrug
anesthesia is maintained with desflurane and remifentanil (Desflurane group)
TIVA groupDrug
anesthesia is maintained with fresofol and remifentanil (TIVA group).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Desflurane group | Experimental | Not described Receives: Drug: desflurane group |
| TIVA(total intravenous anesthesia) group | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Drug: TIVA group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
QoR-40 score
QoR-40 score is going to be measured at preoperative period, 24 hours, and 48 hours later after surgery.
Measured: at 24 hours later after surgery

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?
QoR-40 score (time frame: at 24 hours later after surgery). 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 NCT01760018, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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.
