About this study

Official title: Chimay Plastic Surgery Clinic, Taipei

Among aesthetic or cosmetic surgeries, breast augmentation was the most frequently performed and the endoscopic transaxillary approach has become the preferred incision for Asian women. As breast augmentation must be performed under general anesthesia accompanied by its effects and potential complications, types of general anesthesia may affect the quality of recovery. Currently, the two most common techniques of general anesthesia are inhalation anesthesia (IH) and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). The effects of these types of general anesthesia on the quality of recovery have been investigated for numerous surgical procedures. However, no prior studies have analyzed different types of anesthesia used for performing transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation. This prospective, parallel, randomized controlled study will evaluate the effects of inhalation anesthesia vs. total intravenous anesthesia on the quality of recovery in patients undergoing transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation.

Being tested
Desflurane, Propofol

What participants receive

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

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Anesthesia is maintained by desflurane in an oxygen air mixture of 60/40%. If inadequate depth of anesthesia is observed, the end-expiratory concentration of desflurane would be increased.

  • PropofolDrug

    Anesthesia is maintained by propofol 100-200 μg/kg/min. If inadequate depth of anesthesia is observed, the rate of propofol infusion would be increased.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of recovery, postoperative day one

    Quality of recovery is assessed by the 15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) questionnaire. The total score of the 15-item QoR ranges from 0 to 150, and a higher score indicates a better outcome.

    Measured: On the 1st postoperative day

  2. Quality of recovery, postoperative day two

    Quality of recovery is assessed by the 15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) questionnaire. The total score of the 15-item QoR ranges from 0 to 150, and a higher score indicates a better outcome.

    Measured: On the 2nd postoperative day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Desflurane and Propofol in people with Breast Augmentation and Inhalation Anesthesia, run by Chih-Cheng Hung at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 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 12 Aug 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 Taiwan. 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?

Quality of recovery, postoperative day one (time frame: On the 1st postoperative day). 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?

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 12 Aug 2019.
