Trial summary

Anticholinergic drugs have traditionally been used for their antisialagogue properties. But use of anticholinergic drugs can interfere with thermoregulation via inhibition of the parasympathetically mediated sweat secretion. Read more about this study

About this study

Anticholinergic drugs have traditionally been used for their antisialagogue properties. But use of anticholinergic drugs can interfere with thermoregulation via inhibition of the parasympathetically mediated sweat secretion. Sweating inhibition can reduce heat elimination, and children's thermoregulation depend more on sweating than adults and they can become hyperthermic when given these agents.

The investigators evaluated the fever-causing effects of adjunctive anticholinergics in children under general anesthesia using ketamine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body temperature

    measured body temperature at three times in both ears and the highest value was selected.

    Measured: every 30 minutes from base line ( up to 90min )

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oral secretion (VAS)

    Oral secretion during the whole procedure was recorded by the researcher

    Measured: up to operative end

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Glycopyrrolate in people with Fever, run by Inje University 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 1 May 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. 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?

Body temperature (time frame: every 30 minutes from base line ( up to 90min )). 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 NCT02430272, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 May 2015.
