About this study

Official title: Optimal TCI Regimen for Sedation of Elderly Undergoing Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) of Propofol has been proved to be a safe agent for conscious sedation in flexible bronchoscopy (FB) .However, the target setting of "effect-site" concentration (Cet) of propofol is still unclear in the elderly population .The aim of this study was to compare two induction Cet of propofol in elderly patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:Bronchoscopy is nowadays a very common and widespread technique that allows the physician to proceed for both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. The risks of this procedure are low and depend mostly on the health of the patient. In our study we only considered the elderly ( age > 65 years old) which makes the risks even higher.

Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) of Propofol has been proved to be a safe agent for conscious sedation in flexible bronchoscopy (FB) due to its fast onset of action and rapid recovery time. By virtue of an aging population, the number of bronchoscopy performed will likely increase in the elderly patients , however, the target setting of "effect-site"concentration (Cet) of propofol is still unclear among this population.

The aim of this study was to compare two induction Cet of propofol in elderly patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy.

METHODS: Seventy patients were randomly divided into 2 groups . All patients were of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of I-III, aged more than 65 years old and between 45 and 100 kg in weight. The induction Cet was targeted respectively at 1 and 2 ug/ml. Upon reaching the modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation(MOAA/S) score 0-3, the Cet was increased or reduced during the procedures and the Ce level was set for the maintenance of sedation. Induction time, diagnostic procedures as well as the occurrence of adverse events such as apnea , hypotension or hypertension, heart rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2) ,any cardiac event, cough score, frequency of adjustments of drug doses were recorded.

The patient will be monitored during the procedure with periodic blood pressure checks, respiratory rate, continuous electrocardiogram monitoring of heart and oxygen measurement.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The induction Cet of propofol in people with Adverse Effects, run by The Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 7 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 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?

the adverse events(apnea , hypotension or hypertension, heart rate, oxygen saturation ,any cardiac event, cough score) (time frame: 1 and 2 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 7 Oct 2016.
