  • Normal salineDrug

    2 ml normal saline as bolus before induction of general anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. corrected QT interval (QTc interval)

    at 1,2,3,5,10,15,30,45,60,90,120,240 minutes after ramosetron injection, at the time of operation end, ICU 12hour

    Measured: up to 240 minutes after induction of general anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. hypotension or bradycardia during the peri-induction period and the coronary anastomosis period

    Measured: up to 240 minutes after induction of general anesthesia

  2. incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation

    Measured: during the hospital stay (from ICU admission to hospital discharge, average of 1 week)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ramosetron and Normal saline in people with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Triple Vessel and Hypotension, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 20 Nov 2015. 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 South Korea. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

corrected QT interval (QTc interval) (time frame: up to 240 minutes after induction of general anesthesia). 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 NCT02139241, which also lists 3 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.

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 20 Nov 2015.
