Trial summary

Post operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is recognized as a frequent complication after both cardiac and non cardiac surgery, affecting approximately 1/3 of the patients.

About this study

Official title: Effect of Sugammadex Versus Neostigmine/Atropine Combination on Cognitive Function After Elective Adult Surgery

Post operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is recognized as a frequent complication after both cardiac and non cardiac surgery, affecting approximately 1/3 of the patients. The aim of this study is to examine the possible effect of the novel reversal agent sugammadex versus neostigmine/ atropine combination on cognitive function of adult patients after elective surgery during the early post operative period as well as at discharge.

    Measured: Preoperatively, 1 hour postoperatively, at discharge (1-15 days postoperatively)

  3. Change in the Isaacs set test

    Measured: Preoperatively, 1 hour postoperatively, at discharge (1-15 days postoperatively)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time from reversal agent administration to extubation

    Measured: After reversal agent administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sugammadex and Neostigmine/atropine in people with Post Operative Cognitive Dysfunction, run by Attikon Hospital at 1 site in Greece.

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 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

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?

Change in the Mini-Mental State Evaluation test (time frame: Preoperatively, 1 hour postoperatively, at discharge (1-15 days postoperatively)). The study lists 3 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?
