Trial summary

A number of studies have compared the effects of total intravenous anesthesia(TIVA) versus inhalational anesthesia on perioperative period during transsphenoidal surgery. However, they have limitations especially for the phase of recovery after anesthesia: a fragmentary assessment. Read more about this study

About this study

A number of studies have compared the effects of total intravenous anesthesia(TIVA) versus inhalational anesthesia on perioperative period during transsphenoidal surgery. However, they have limitations especially for the phase of recovery after anesthesia: a fragmentary assessment. Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40) questionnaire was multi-dimensionally designed to assess the degree of recovery, specially after anesthesia and surgery. In this study, the investigators aim to compare the quality of recovery after inhalational anesthesia and after TIVA through QoR-40 questionnaire in patients undergoing transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary tumor under general anesthesia.

What participants receive

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

  • total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)Drug

    In the TIVA group,anesthesia is induced and maintained by effect-site target controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil.

  • inhalation anesthesia groupDrug

    In the inhalation anesthesia group, anesthesia is induced by pentothal sodium 4-6mg/kg and remifentanil 1 μg/kg, and then maintained with end-tidal sevoflurane concentration of 0.8 to 1 MAC and continuous infusion of remifentanil at 0.1-0.3μg/kg/min.

What is being measured

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

  1. QoR-40 score

    We compare the QoR-40 scores of two groups 1 day after the operation.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia group in people with Pituitary Tumor, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 9 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 29 Sep 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

QoR-40 score (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02813044, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Sep 2020.
