About this study

Effects of different general anesthetics on peripheral microcirculation.

Read the detailed description

Human keep body temperature in a narrow range by a variety of regulatory mechanism. Peripheral thermal receptors send signals to central nervous system which regulate body temperature via peripheral effectors, such as vasoconstriction, vasodilatation, shivering, sweating and etc. In patients undergoing general anesthesia, the regulatory mechanism is altered. General anesthesia changes blood distribution in the body, the metabolic rate of muscle, threshold of thermal regulation in the brain and etc, so that heat distribution and microcirculation condition will also change. In this study, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is used to measure the microcirculatory condition. NIRS is a non-invasive continuous measurement to detect tissue saturation with the method of different wavelength of near-infrared. General anesthesia with inhalational sevoflurane and intravenous propofol is separated into 2 groups. Because of different mechanism of general anesthesia of these 2 anesthetics, different physiologic response may occur. Body temperature and somatic saturation are compared in each group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propofol, Sevoflurane and General anesthesia induction in people with Microcirculatory Effects of Anesthesia and Inhalation and Intravenous Anesthesia, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2016. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Cheng-Han Yen (+886972653387, ozone0924@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Somatic saturation (time frame: during surgery, approximately 2-4 hr). 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 13 Apr 2016.
