Trial summary

This study evaluates the association between the depth of general anesthesia and the occurrence of emergence agitation (EA). The investigators hypothesized that optimal level of anesthetic depth could decrease the incidence of EA in children undergoing strabismus surgery compared to the deep level of anesthetic depth.

About this study

Official title: The Correlation Between Anesthetic Depth and the Incidence of Emergence Agitation in Children Undergoing Strabismus Surgery

This study evaluates the association between the depth of general anesthesia and the occurrence of emergence agitation (EA). The investigators hypothesized that optimal level of anesthetic depth could decrease the incidence of EA in children undergoing strabismus surgery compared to the deep level of anesthetic depth.

Read the detailed description

EA is characterized by dissociated state of consciousness, in which the children are inconsolable, irritable, uncooperative, thrashing, crying, moaning or incoherent.

Several predisposing factors for EA include post-operative pain, rapid emergence from general anesthesia, use of volatile anesthetics, type and site of operation (usually head \& neck surgeries), agitation on induction, airway obstruction, hyperthermia or hypothermia.

The effect of anesthetic depth on the EA has rarely been evaluated in pediatric population, even though postoperative delirium or postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)corresponds to the EA identically.

In this study, the concentration of anesthetics was not managed on purpose to lower the BIS score. Patients were allocated to each group based on the result of average BIS score during the operation.

What participants receive

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

  • BISDevice

    BIS monitoring provides the patient's depth of consciousness, enables us to monitor safe, optimal anesthesia for each patient.

What is being measured

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

  1. the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) Score

    Evaluating the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) score 3 times at the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU): when participant arrived at PACU, measure the PAED score (from 0 to 20; the higher score indicates the severer emergenct agitation) immediately and if the score is 10 or over 10, give the participant Fentanyl 1mcg/kg. Repeat checking the PAED score 2 times more with 15 minutes interval.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Strabismus, run by Seoul National University Bundang 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 2 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 21 Oct 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) Score (time frame: 30 minutes). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Oct 2019.
