Trial summary

Intraoperative stress responses (vasoconstriction and changes in heart rate) and postoperative pain can be monitored using photoplethysmography (PPG). PPG measures changes in tissue volume noninvasively. Therefore it can measure acute changes in arterial diameter (vasoconstriction). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Tracheal Intubation Induced Autonomic Response on Photoplethysmography

Intraoperative stress responses (vasoconstriction and changes in heart rate) and postoperative pain can be monitored using photoplethysmography (PPG). PPG measures changes in tissue volume noninvasively. Therefore it can measure acute changes in arterial diameter (vasoconstriction). PPG signal has two components, AC and DC. Effects of noxious stimuli-induced stress responses (vasoconstriction) have not been studied on the DC component of PPG. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a known noxious stimulus (endotracheal intubation) on both the AC and DC components of PPG.

Being tested
endotracheal intubation

What participants receive

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

  • endotracheal intubationProcedure or surgery

    standard endotracheal intubation of surgical patients after induction of anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Photoplethysmography

    changes in AC and DC components of photoplethysmography

    Measured: within 60 seconds of intubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pulse rate

    Pulse rate from photoplethysmograph

    Measured: within 60 seconds of intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia Intubation Complication, run by University of California, San Francisco.

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 4 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 26 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Photoplethysmography (time frame: within 60 seconds of intubation). 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 NCT03032939, 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 26 Jan 2017.
