Trial summary

Total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol and remifentanil are routinely used drugs for this purpose. The hemodynamic stability and at the same time early emergency are the main goals following neurosurgery. However there is no standard for discontinuation time for manually controlled systems today.

About this study

Official title: Effect of Remifentanil Infusion Alone During the Closure Period for Early Emergence and Hemodynamic Stability in Patients Undergoing Supratentorial Craniotomy

Total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol and remifentanil are routinely used drugs for this purpose. The hemodynamic stability and at the same time early emergency are the main goals following neurosurgery. However there is no standard for discontinuation time for manually controlled systems today.

The investigators aimed to study the effect of remifentanil infusion alone for early emergence and hemodynamic stability during the closure period in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy.

Read the detailed description

Adult, American society of Anaesthesiologist score I-II, 80 patients who underwent elective supratentorial craniotomy for tumour resection were randomly assigned to group I or II. In group I; propofol was discontinued during the dural closure. After the propofol was discontinued, remifentanil dose was increased with the guidance of bispectral index spectrum and hemodynamic parameters. In group II; propofol discontinued before the end of the surgery. Time to awakening and extubation time, adverse events, total remifentanil and propofol consumptions and side effects were recorded. Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded during this period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time of extubation

    After the surgery, starting from three-pin head holder removal, an investigator asked each patient to open his or her eyes, squeeze the investigator's hand. When the patient opened his or her eyes, obeyed commands, resumed adequate respiration, hemodynamically stable and bispectral index spectrum > 70-80 was extubated, and the time will be recorded. The patients will be followed for an expected average of 3 hours.

    Measured: 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Heart Rate

    Heart rate per minute was recorded

    Measured: 6 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Remifentanil and Propofol in people with Supratentorial Neoplasms, run by Yeditepe University Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 12 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 2 Nov 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

Time of extubation (time frame: 3 hours). 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 2 Nov 2015.
