About this study

During anesthetic induction, the relevance of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) onset monitoring cannot be asserted and its superiority over waiting for a fixed delay (corresponding to pharmacokinetic knowledge of the neuromuscular blocking agent used) has not been proven. However, many studies have shown a large inter-individual variability on the delay of the NMB onset. The main objective of othe investigator's study is to compare the quality of laryngoscopy during intubation between the NMB onset monitoring and the expectation of a fixed delay after curarization

Read the detailed description

French guidelines on curarization, updated in 2018, do not recommend the NMB onset monitoring due to a lack of data in the literature. Thus, the interest of monitoring cannot be asserted and its superiority over waiting for a fixed delay has not been proven.

Due to a large inter-individual variability on the delay of the NMB onset after administration of atracurium, the relevance of monitoring NMB during an anesthetic induction should be assessed to improve the quality of laryngoscopy.

In case of monitoring, the experts recommend monitoring the NMB onset at the corrugator supercilli because it reflects neuromuscular blockade at the laryngeal adductor muscles.

During the pre-anaesthetic visit, patients will be enrolled after inform consent.

Patients will be randomized in two groups, control group (waiting for a 3-minute delay after injection of atracurium) or monitoring group (waiting for the TOF ratio at 0 at the corrugator supercilli).

Anesthetic induction will be performed with sufentanil, propofol and atracurium. After laryngoscopy, the primary outcome will be evaluated using Copenhagen score.

Patients will be followed up until they leave the recovery room..

What participants receive

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

  • MonitoringDevice

    After the anesthetic induction with sufentanil, propofol and atracurium, patients will be ventilated with mask until:

    • Monitoring group: TOF ratio at the corrugator supercilli will be measured every 15 s after injection of atracurium. When TOF ratio reach 0, laryngoscopy with intubation will be performed

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint is the assessment of the Copenhagen score modified collected during the anesthetic induction after the intubation.

    The primary endpoint is the assessment of the Copenhagen score modified collected during the anesthetic induction after the intubation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Monitoring in people with Laryngoscopy and Anesthesic Aduction, run by Poitiers University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 21 Oct 2019. 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 France. 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 primary endpoint is the assessment of the Copenhagen score modified collected during the anesthetic induction after the intubation. (time frame: Few minutes after intubation (about 5 minutes)). 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 21 Oct 2019.
