About this study
Official title: Comparison of Desflurane Balanced Anesthesia Versus TIVA-TCI (Total IntraVenous Anesthesia-Target Controlled Infusion) in Patients Undergoing Ophthalmic Ambulatory Surgery: A Single Center, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study
This is a single-center, randomized, prospective research which aims to investigate the advantages and disadvantages between desflurane balanced anesthesia and TIVA-TCI with propofol in ophthalmic ambulatory surgery, so that to evaluate a better anesthesia method in ophthalmic surgery through a large sample clinical study.
Read the detailed description
Desflurane balanced anesthesia and TIVA-TCI(Total IntraVenous Anesthesia-Target Controlled Infusion) are commonly used in ophthalmic ambulatory surgery, however, there is no clear evidence to discriminate the advantages and disadvantages between them. This study is designed to evaluate a better anesthetic method in ophthalmic surgery through a clinical study. This is a single center, randomized, prospective study. 200 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists'(ASA) physical status 1 to 2, aged 18 to 60, scheduled for elective strabismus ambulatory and in whom a LMA is indicated for anesthesia are recruited. Enrolled patients are randomly assigned into 2 groups: group TIVA (TIVA-TCI with propofol) and group Des (Desflurane).In group TIVA, anesthesia is maintained with propofol and remifentanil. Propofol is continuously administered via a target-controlled infusion (TCI) pump intraoperatively. In group Des, anesthesia is maintained with desflurane.All patients received anaesthesia depth monitoring with bispectral index (BIS). The dose of anesthetic is adjusted to maintained the BIS value within 40 to 60. At the end of the surgery, inhalant anesthetic or infused propofol and remifentanil are discontinued. LMA is removed when patient regains consciousness with spontaneous respiration. Patients are then transferred to the post anesthetic care unit (PACU) for postoperative follow-up. The primary outcome is awake time, the secondary outcomes include discharge time, the stay time in PACU, time of off-bed, Riker sedation agitation score (SAS), time of PADSS>9, NRS score when leaving PACU, incidence of various complications (postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), emergence agitation, etc), as well as anesthesia cost. All patients are followed up by calling in one day after the surgery.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing desflurane, total intravenous anesthesia and inhalation anesthesia in people with Ophthalmic and Surgery, run by Xiaoliang Gan at 1 site in China.
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 5 inclusion and 7 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 23 Jan 2018. 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 China. 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?
Awake time (time frame: From the ending time of anesthesia until the recovery time of patient's consciousness, assessed up to half an hour postoperatively.). 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 NCT02922660, which also lists 10 linked publications.
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 23 Jan 2018.
