About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sevoflurane or Propofol on Brain Injury and Neurocognitive in Pediatric Living Related Liver Transplantation

To study the effect of different anaesthetic methods on pediatric neurocognitive development and cerebral injury during pediatric living related liver transplantation .

Read the detailed description

Since the 1960 s, with the successful development of liver transplantation, it has become an important method for the treatment of patients with end-stage liver disease.Biliary atresia1 is the most frequent causes of pediatric end-stage liver disease,.The morbidity of congenital biliary atresia is 1/8000-18, 0002 ,which influence the patients' overall growth and development situation. The rising of living donor liver transplantation has provide children with the chance of a timely treatment since the 1980 s, It is no doubt that pediatric liver transplantation is facing with many complications, including the most importance of neurocognitive development .Now the researches of neurological complications is less .According to statistics, the incidence of neurological complications after pediatric liver transplantation was 8% - 46% . So it is necessary to research the neurological complications and brain protection strategy .Previous studies have studied that some anaesthetic have uncertain affect on the development of children.

Study groups in NCT03024840
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
sevofluraneExperimentalSevoflurane is inhalated with 1%-2% after anesthesia induction until end of the surgery.
Receives: Drug: Sevoflurane

Receives: Drug: Propofol

What is being measured

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

  1. Evidence of cerebral injury including S-100 β protein, neurospecific enolase confirmed by electrochemiluminescence

    Measured: before skin incision, 0.5 hour after anhepatic,1 hour of neohepatic stage,the end of surgery,24 hours after operation

  2. Evidences of inflammatory factor such as interleukin-6,interleukin-10,et al confirmed by electrochemiluminescence

    Measured: before skin incision, 0.5 hour after anhepatic,1 hour of neohepatic stage,the end of surgery,24 hours after operation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of neurocognitive disorder using Bayley Scales of Infant Development

    Measured: 1 day before surgery, 7days,14 days and 21days of post-operation

  2. Evaluation of delirium using Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium

    Measured: Within 1 days after extubation

  3. hemodynamics index

    Measured: before skin incision, 0.5 hour after anhepatic,1 hour of neohepatic stage,the end of surgery,24 hours 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?

Evidence of cerebral injury including S-100 β protein, neurospecific enolase confirmed by electrochemiluminescence (time frame: before skin incision, 0.5 hour after anhepatic,1 hour of neohepatic stage,the end of surgery,24 hours after operation). The study lists 2 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?
