Trial summary

Background: Large doses of propofol needed for induction and laryngeal mask (LM) insertion in children may be associated with hemodynamic sides effects. Co-induction with low doses of ketamine 0.5 mg/ kg has the advantage of reducing dose and therefore maintaining hemodynamic stability. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Co-induction Ketamine-propofol: the Effects on Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion Conditions and Resulting Hemodynamic Changes in Children

Background: Large doses of propofol needed for induction and laryngeal mask (LM) insertion in children may be associated with hemodynamic sides effects. Co-induction with low doses of ketamine 0.5 mg/ kg has the advantage of reducing dose and therefore maintaining hemodynamic stability.

Aim: To examine the effect of co-induction on LM insertion, hemodynamics and recovery in children

Read the detailed description

A prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled study was conducted including120 ASA physical status I ⁄ II unpremedicated children, aged 1-8 years. Inhalatory induction with sevoflurane at 7% to insert an intravenous canula was first used then decreased to 2%. Normal saline or ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) were administered in groups P (propofol), PK (propofol-ketamine) respectively, 1 min prior to the administration of the induction dose of propofol. Propofol 3mg/kg was used for induction in the 2 groups, LM inserted 60 s later and insertion conditions assessed. Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded immediately after propofol bolus, then after LM insertion, at the 3rd ,5th and 10th minutes later. Recovery was assessed using Steward's Score

What is being measured

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

  1. laryngeal masque conditions insertion

    When the jaw was relaxed, and deglutition and cough reflex and member movement were absent, the conditions were considered acceptable.the laryngeal masque was inserted

    Measured: MINUTE 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. hemodynamic conditions

    systolic blood pressure

    Measured: HOURS 1

  2. heart rate

    cardiac frequence

    Measured: HOURS 1

Model description
After inhalatory induction with sevoflurane7%until abolition of the eye lash reflex, an intravenous canula was inserted in the dorsum of the hand. The sevoflurane concentration was then decreased to 2% in 100% O2.A nurse not involved in the study prepared two syringes with ketamine or normal saline, and administrated it according randomization , one minute before induction with propofol. The administration of propofol was realized on 60 seconds. An experimented anesthesiologist evaluated the LM conditions insertion. When the jaw was relaxed, and deglutition and cough reflex and member movement were absent, the conditions were considered acceptable. The LM was then inserted. For analgesia,we proceeded by a locoregional bloc adapted to the surgery. We recorded systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HR and SpO2 at the induction time at LM insertion and at the 3rd,5th and10th min.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ketamine in people with Anesthesia Intubation Complication, run by University Hospital, Mahdia at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 16 Apr 2020. 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 Tunisia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

laryngeal masque conditions insertion (time frame: MINUTE 1). 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 Apr 2020.
