Read the detailed description

This is an experimental clinical trial in double-blinded randomized controlled design on 50 children aged 10 months to 21 months who underwent general anesthesia with sevoflurane for labioplasty surgery. Fifteen minutes before inhalation anesthetics were discontinued, the subjects were randomly given a placebo or a single dose of diphenhydramine 0, 5 mg / kg intravenously. Subjects were extubated and observed in the recovered space conscious for any agitation or emergence delirium and feasability to return to the ward. Agitation or emergence delirium was assessed by the Pediatric Emergence Agitation and Delirium Score (PAEDS) whereas feasability to return to the ward scored with the Steward score. When PAEDS> 10 patients were assessed to be agitated or having emergence delirium and administeres rescue tranquilizer ketamine 0.1 mg / kg. Total rescue tranquilizers and clinically significant adverse effects of drugs also recorded.

What participants receive

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Diphenhydramine, normal saline and Ketamine in people with Specified Sedative and Hypnotic, run by Universitas Diponegoro.

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 3 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 4 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Incidence of sevoflurane induced post anesthesia agitation (time frame: 10 minutes post extubation). 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 NCT02463929, which also lists 6 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 4 Jun 2015.
