Trial summary

To determine the efficiency of addition of magnesium sulfate to total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in optimizing the surgical field during pediatric cochlear implant surgery. Also its effects on the intraoperative evoked stapedial reflex thresholds (ESRT) and the intraoperative anesthetic requirements were evaluated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Combination of Magnesium Sulphate With Total Intravenous Anesthesia Optimized Surgical Field in Pediatric Cochlear Implant Surgery

To determine the efficiency of addition of magnesium sulfate to total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in optimizing the surgical field during pediatric cochlear implant surgery. Also its effects on the intraoperative evoked stapedial reflex thresholds (ESRT) and the intraoperative anesthetic requirements were evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Sixty-six ASA I and II children (1-6 years) undergoing cochlear implantation under general anesthesia were enrolled in this double blind, randomized study. Children were randomly allocated into two equal groups. Children in Group M (magnesium sulphate group) received an iv bolus dose of magnesium sulfate 40 mg Kg-1 over 5 minutes before induction of anesthesia followed by 15mg Kg-1 h-1 infusion until the start of skin closure. Children in Group C (Control group) received equivalent volumes of isotonic saline solution over the same period instead of magnesium sulphate. Haemodynamic variables, quality of surgical field, ESRT and the intraoperative anesthetic requirements were recorded

What participants receive

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

  • Magnesium sulphateDrug

    Also called MGSO4

    Before induction of anesthesia; children in group M received an iv bolus dose of magnesium sulfate (Magnesium sulfate ampoule 1 gm/10 ml, Eipico, Egypt) 40 mg Kg-1 over 5 minutes followed by 15 mg Kg-1 h-1 ivi until the start of skin closure.

  • Na CL 0.9%Other

    Also called isotonic saline solution

    Before induction of anesthesia; children in group C equivalent volumes of Na Cl 0.9% over the same period instead of magnesium sulphate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of surgical field

    using Fromme's-Boezaart scale (0 to 5). A score of ≤ 2 was considered to be optimal

    Measured: at the end of the surgey

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The operative time

    Minutes

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. The anesthesia time.

    Minutes

    Measured: Intraoperative

  3. ESRT responses

    the surgeon assessed ESRT response at the basal, middle, and apical areas of the electrode array by visual monitoring of the stapedius muscle using direct microscopic examination

    Measured: After insertion of the electrode and after reversal of any residual muscle relaxant (TOF response > 0.9),

  4. Heart rate

    beats per minute

    Measured: baseline, after surgical incision, Hypotensive period, after LMA removal and at recovery room admission.

  5. Mean arterial blood pressure

    mm Hg

    Measured: Intraoperative

  6. Anesthetic consumption

    propofol and fentanyl requirement after the bolus

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Magnesium sulphate and Na CL 0.9% in people with Anesthesia, run by Wahba bakhet.

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 1 inclusion and 6 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 29 Oct 2019. 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. 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?

Quality of surgical field (time frame: at the end of the surgey). 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 29 Oct 2019.
