About this study

Official title: Emergence Times and Airway Reactions in General Laryngeal Mask Airway Anesthesia: a Randomized Multicenter Controlled Trial (ACC Baxter)

The aim of this study is first to assess if desflurane is superior in order to achieve a faster emergence from anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is first to assess if desflurane is superior in order to achieve a faster emergence from anesthesia (stating the date of birth) and second if desflurane is non-inferior in the occurrence of airway complications compared to sevoflurane or total intravenous anesthesia with propofol in the setting of laryngeal mask airway.

Being tested
Desflurane, Sevoflurane, propofol
Keywords
laryngeal mask airway, desflurane, sevoflurane, propofol

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called Sevorane

    inhalation with laryngeal mask to maintain anaesthesia

  • propofolDrug

    Also called Anesia

    intravenous injection to maintain anaesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. time of emergence from anesthesia

    time of emergence from anesthesia defined as time between cessation of anesthesia until patient is able to state his/her date of birth on command

    Measured: up to 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Airway reactions (Incidence of intraoperative coughs, laryngospasm)

    Incidence of intraoperative coughs (induction/maintenance) - non-inferiority design Incidence of intraoperative laryngospasm (induction/maintenance) Incidence of cough at emergence Incidence of laryngospasms at emergence

    Measured: up to 2 hours

  2. Emergence times

    Time to remove laryngeal mask Time to open eyes on command Time to respond on command (press hand) Time to state the name on command Recovery Index (RI = 1 + Aldrete5min/[(2xextubation time) + 1 x opening eyes time)]

    Measured: up to 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Desflurane, Sevoflurane and propofol in people with Anesthesia With Use of LMA (Laryngeal Mask Airway), run by RWTH Aachen University at 4 sites in Germany.

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 7 inclusion and 12 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 6 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Germany. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

time of emergence from anesthesia (time frame: up to 15 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 NCT02322502, 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.

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 6 Oct 2016.
