About this study

Official title: the Effective Bolus Dose of Remifentanil for Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) Insertion in Pediatric Patients

This research attempts to find the optimum dose of remifentanil that can prevent the unnecessary responses such as coughing, gagging, and movement when LMA is inserted during sevoflurane induction in pediatric patients.

Read the detailed description

Anaesthesia is induced by inhalation with 3% sevoflurane. A predetermined bolus dose of remifentanil is injected over 30 seconds. The LMA is attempted 60 seconds after bolus administration. The starting dose of remifentanil is 0.5μg/kg and a step size is 0.05μg/kg. If LMA insertion is successful or failed in previous patient, an decrement or increment of 0.05μg/kg remifentanil is injected to next patient, respectively.

Being tested
Remifentanil

What participants receive

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

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Also called remifentanil (ultiva)

    The starting dose of remifentanil is 0.5μg/kg and a step size is 0.05μg/kg. If LMA insertion is successful or failed in previous patient, an decrement or increment of 0.05μg/kg remifentanil is injected to next patient, respectively.

What is being measured

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

  1. patients's response to the LMA insertion

    Fail of LMA insertion is defined as body or limb movement, coughing or gagging with 2 minutes after LMA insertion, no proper jaw relaxation(difficult mouth opening), laryngospasm, bronchospasm, desaturation(SpO2<94%)

    Measured: 2 minutes after LMA insertion

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?

patients's response to the LMA insertion (time frame: 2 minutes after LMA insertion). 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?
