Trial summary

Permanent and temporary cognitive impairment in the perioperative period is of great importance to patients. Hypoperfusion due to the intraoperative hypotension is often mentioned as a possible cause of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of the Perioperative Blood Pressure on the Onset of Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Adults

Permanent and temporary cognitive impairment in the perioperative period is of great importance to patients. Hypoperfusion due to the intraoperative hypotension is often mentioned as a possible cause of postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

All patients aged above 60 years undergoing planned spinal surgery in the prone position in the duration of 1-3 hours under general anesthesia will be included in the study. In group L (liberal), the value of blood pressure will be corrected with the change of mean arterial pressure (MAP) ± 25% patient's mean arterial pressure, and group R (restrictive) with the change of MAP ± 10%. Cognitive dysfunction tests will be executed on the day before the surgery, two hours after the surgery and on the third postoperative day. Anesthesia will be managed according to the standardised protocol. Concentration of desflurane will be adjusted according to entropy values (target 40-50). Analgetics will be applied according to surgical pleth index (SPI) values. Sufentanil will not be applied in the last 15 minutes. Extubation will be performed at the operating theatre when meeting all extubation criteria including train of four ratio (TOFR) above 92%. Neither syntophyllin, nor pharmacological decurarization (syntostigmin) will be applied to the patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Liberal groupProcedure or surgery

    If the pressure decreases below 75% of patient's baseline mean arterial pressure for more than 1 min, continuous application of noradrenalin will be initiated. If the blood pressure increases above 125% of patient's baseline mean arterial pressure for more than 1 min, Ebrantil (urapidil hydrochlorid) will be applied in dose of 5 mg intravenously with the possibility of repeated doses in 2 minutes intervals.

  • Restrictive groupProcedure or surgery

    If the pressure decreases below 90% of patient's baseline mean arterial pressure for more than 1 min, continuous application of noradrenalin will be initiated. If the blood pressure increases above 110% of patient's baseline mean arterial pressure for more than 1 min, Ebrantil (urapidil hydrochlorid) will be applied in dose of 5 mg intravenously with the possibility of repeated doses in 2 minutes intervals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Liberal group and Restrictive group in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment, run by University Hospital Hradec Kralove at 1 site in Czechia.

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 4 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 22 Aug 2018. 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 Czechia. 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?

Change in cognitive behavior (time frame: within the first 3 days after surgery). 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 22 Aug 2018.
