Trial summary

Hypotension often happens immediately after anesthetic induction. Particularly in 5-10 minutes after anesthetic induction it is reported to happen more frequently. Patients may have preexisting hypovolemia resulting from dehydration and impaired compensatory responses, which increase the risk. Read more about this study

About this study

Hypotension often happens immediately after anesthetic induction. Particularly in 5-10 minutes after anesthetic induction it is reported to happen more frequently. Patients may have preexisting hypovolemia resulting from dehydration and impaired compensatory responses, which increase the risk. However, it is still challenging to assess intravascular volume status in spontaneously breathing patients before anesthetic induction. Recently, the measurement of corrected flow time in carotid artery was introduced as quite useful, simple and noninvasive for the evaluation of circulating blood volume. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether corrected carotid artery flow time as determined by ultrasonography in spontaneously breathing patients before general anesthesia can predict hypotension after induction.

Being tested
ultrasonographic measurement of corrected flow time(FTc) in carotid artery

What participants receive

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

  • ultrasonographic measurement of corrected flow time(FTc) in carotid arteryProcedure or surgery

    Corrected carotid artery flow time is measured using 10-5 MHz linear probe on a portable ultrasound machine. On the two-dimensional image, the optimal image of the long-axis view is obtained at the left common carotid artery. The sample volume is placed on the center of the lumen, 2 cm proximal to the bulb, and a pulsed wave Doppler examination was performed. Then, cardiac cycle time and carotid flow time is measured. Carotid flow time is measured between the upstroke of the flow tracing and the dicrotic notch, and it is corrected for pulse rate by dividing flow time by the square root of the cardiac cycle time to calculate corrected carotid artery flow time (flow time/√cycle time). The blood pressure was taken before anesthetic induction and every two minutes after anesthetic induction till ten minutes after endotracheal intubation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of General Anesthesia Induction for Elective Surgery, 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 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2019. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

corrected flow time (FTc) in carotid artery (time frame: 10 minutes before induction of general anesthesia.). 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 16 Jan 2019.
