Trial summary

There is accumulating evidence that inappropriate depth of anaesthesia is associated with increased risk of postoperative complications including risk of death. The aim of this study was to identify factors determining the effective end-tidal concentration (EEtC) of desflurane, duration of wash in and wash out phase… Read more about this study

About this study

There is accumulating evidence that inappropriate depth of anaesthesia is associated with increased risk of postoperative complications including risk of death. The aim of this study was to identify factors determining the effective end-tidal concentration (EEtC) of desflurane, duration of wash in and wash out phase, and to estimate the risk of perioperative awareness in patients undergoing elective neurosurgical procedure.

Read the detailed description

All patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III scheduled for elective neurosurgical procedure under general anaesthesia are studied. In each individual, the manufacturer recommended age-corrected end-tidal concentrations of desflurane is set and achieved initially. Individual effective end-tidal concentration (EEtC) of desflurane is then defined according to entropy parameters and maintained in the targeted range of static and response entropy 40-50. Effective analgesia is maintained according to surgical plethysmographic index (SPI) and dose of muscle relaxants according to neuromuscular transmission monitoring (TOF). Comorbidity, regular intake of alcohol and medication, smoking, sex, weight, height, and age are recorded. Postoperative questionnaire is used to reveal the intraoperative awareness.

What participants receive

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

  • desflurane - oxygen in airDrug

    Also called suprane

    The manufacturer recommended age-corrected end-tidal concentrations of desflurane in air should be set and achieved initially. Individual EEtC of desflurane will be defined according to entropy parameters and maintained in the targeted range of static and response entropy 40-50

  • desflurane - oxygen in nitric oxideDrug

    Also called suprane

    The manufacturer recommended age-corrected end-tidal concentrations of desflurane with nitric oxide - oxygen should be set and achieved initially. Individual EEtC of desflurane will be defined according to entropy parameters and maintained in the targeted range of static and response entropy 40-50

What is being measured

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

  1. end tidal concentration of desflurane according to age

    Measured: from the start of procedure up to 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to spontaneous ventilation

    Measured: from end of anesthesia up to 1 hour

  2. Time to extubation

    Measured: from the end of anesthesia up to 1 hour

  3. Time to reaction to command

    Measured: from the end of anesthesia up to 1 hour

  4. Wash in phase

    sec

    Measured: up to achievement of manufacturer age-corrected end-tidal concentrations of desflurane up to 10 minutes

  5. Wash out phase

    Measured: from the end of procedure up to 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing desflurane - oxygen in air and desflurane - oxygen in nitric oxide in people with General Anesthetic Drug Adverse Reaction, 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 4 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 18 Oct 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 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?

end tidal concentration of desflurane according to age (time frame: from the start of procedure up to 4 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 18 Oct 2016.
