About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sevoflurane and Propofol on Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis Status in Children Undergoing Hypospadias Repair Surgery

Being tested
Sevoflurane, Propofol

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02711280
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sevoflurane General anesthesiaExperimentalAnesthesia was induced with 8% sevoflurane with 8L/min oxygen. Anesthesia was maintained with 1-3% sevoflurane in oxygen/air mixture.
Receives: Drug: Sevoflurane
Propofol General anesthesiaExperimentalAnesthesia was induced with propofol 4mg/kg. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol 7-12mg/kg/h.
Receives: Drug: Propofol

What is being measured

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

  1. the change of blood glutathione peroxidase(GPx) level in perioperative period

    Measured: immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation

  2. the change of blood-separated erythrocytes superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in perioperative period

    the blood sample was separated and erythrocytes was obtained, superoxide dismutase activity was measured using a commercially available assay-Ransod kit (Randox Laboratories, UK).

    Measured: immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation

  3. the change of blood-separated erythrocytes catalase (CAT) activities in perioperative period

    the blood sample was separated and erythrocytes was obtained, catalase activity was measured using the OxiSelect catalase activity assay (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA)

    Measured: immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation

  4. the change of blood-separated lymphocytes caspase-3 mRNA level in perioperative period

    Lymphocytes were separated from whole blood and freshly used for real-time PCR of caspase-3

    Measured: immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation

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 change of blood glutathione peroxidase(GPx) level in perioperative period (time frame: immediately after anesthetic induction, 2h and 3 days after operation). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Oct 2016.
