About this study
The aim of this study to evaluate the patients who underwent controlled hypotensive anesthesia under standardized depth of anesthesia; preoperative and postoperative blood HIF 1a, TAS, TOS measurement and cerebral perfusion evaluation with NIRS and to investigate tissue hypoxia secondary to hypotensive anesthesia and the changes of the mediators at the tissue level and which blood pressure parameters are related.
Read the detailed description
Controlled hypotension is the voluntary reversible reduction of arterial blood pressure. Hypotensive anesthesia is a method of anesthesia in which blood pressure is reduced in a controlled manner, especially in certain surgeries. İt reduces intraoperative bleeding and need for blood transfusion and provides a clean surgical vision in narrow-field surgeries or with high bleeding potential. Hypotensive anesthesia can be performed according to mean blood pressure (MBP) or systolic blood pressure (SBP).
A non-invasive cerebral oximeter is used to see the changes in the brain due to high oxygen-dependent metabolism during induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is a transcription factor involved in cell adaptation mechanism activated in response to hypoxia.
The biological activity of HIF 1 is determined by the expression and activity of the HIF 1a subunit.
Total antioxidant status (TAS) shows the total effect of all antioxidants in the human body and total oxidant status (TOS) shows the total effect of oxidants.
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) allows continuous and non-invasive monitoring of cerebral oxygenation. HIF 1a, TAS and TOS are laboratory markers that predict tissue oxygenation and perfusion.
Hypotensive anesthesia can be performed according to both MBP and SBP. However, in our study that follow-up MBP is more advantageous/protective, although it is not supported by very strong data. The investigators recommend hypotensive anesthesia compared to MBP; but further studies are needed.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
systolic blood pressure (SBP)Procedure or surgery
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) 80-90 mmHg remifentanil infusion was applied to Group 1 patients. In addition to remifentanil infusion, 0.002 μg.kg of glycerol trinitrate (Perlinganit) was administered as an intermittent bolus in patients who needed to achieve target blood pressure. All patients received 5-8 ml / kg / h IV infusion of balanced electrolyte solution (Isolyte-S) during the operation.
Hemodynamic parameters (HR, SBP, OCD), BIS, SpO2 and NIRS were recorded at 5 minute intervals. At the end of the operation, 3 ml of blood was taken from the untreated arm of all patients to the HIF1a, TAS and TOS values and sent to the biochemistry laboratory
mean blood pressure (MBP)Procedure or surgery
For group 2, remifentanil infusion was performed with a mean blood pressure (OCD) of 50-65 mmHg. In addition to remifentanil infusion, 0.002 μg.kg of glycerol trinitrate (Perlinganit) was administered as an intermittent bolus in patients who needed to achieve target blood pressure. All patients received 5-8 ml / kg / h IV infusion of balanced electrolyte solution (Isolyte-S) during the operation.
Hemodynamic parameters (HR, SBP, OCD), BIS, SpO2 and NIRS were recorded at 5 minute intervals. At the end of the operation, 3 ml of blood was taken from the untreated arm of all patients to the HIF1a, TAS and TOS values and sent to the biochemistry laboratory.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Evaluation of the relationship between hypotensive anesthesia technique and brain hypoxia by the rate of NIRS
The investigators used to detect brain hypoxia with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) (INVOS 5100 Medtronic).
Near Infrared measurement, primary absorbing molecules in tissue are metal complex chromophores such as hemoglobin, bilirubin and cytochrome.
The absorption spectra of deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) range between 650-1000 nm, the oxyhemoglobin (Hb02) absorption spectra range between 700-1150 and the cytochrome oxidase aa3 (Caa3) absorption spectra range from 820-840 nm.
NIRS measures the ratio of oxyhemoglobin to total hemoglobin at a depth of 2.5-3 cm in the area under the sensor.This ratio represents regional cerebral oxygen (RsO2) saturation.
RSO2 below 40% or more than 25% decrease in baseline is associated with neurological dysfunction and side effects. A 15-20% reduction or less than 50% of the baseline is considered a critical threshold and requires action.
Measured: intraoperative 2 hours
Evaluation of the relationship between hypotensive anesthesia technique and tissue hypoxia by HIF1a
Under normoxic conditions, HIF 1a protein can hardly be detected, but when hypoxia starts, its expression starts within 2 minutes and peaks at 4-8 hours of hypoxia.
3 ml blood was taken into MiniCollect® tubes from the venous cannula placed before anesthesia induction for measure HIF 1a,TAS and TOS. At the end of the operation, 3 ml of blood was taken again from the untreated arm of all patients to the HIF1a, TAS and TOS values and sent to the biochemistry laboratory. The collected blood was centrifuged at 2000 x g for 10 minutes and the separated sera were sent to the biochemical laboratory to be stored at -80 ° C until the study was performed.
Measured: Change from Baseline HIF 1a at 2 hours
Evaluation of the relationship between hypotensive anesthesia technique and tissue hypoxia by the concentration of TAS
Plasma TAS and TOS levels are measured with a commercial kit developed by Erel. Values for plasma TAS are expressed in millimeters by the Trolox value per liter.
3 ml blood was taken into MiniCollect® tubes from the venous cannula placed before anesthesia induction for measure HIF 1a,TAS and TOS. At the end of the operation, 3 ml of blood was taken again from the untreated arm of all patients to the HIF1a, TAS and TOS values and sent to the biochemistry laboratory. The collected blood was centrifuged at 2000 x g for 10 minutes and the separated sera were sent to the biochemical laboratory to be stored at -80 ° C until the study was performed.
Measured: Change from Baseline TAS levels at 2 hours
Evaluation of the relationship between hypotensive anesthesia technique and tissue hypoxia by the concentration of TOS
Measurement for TOS is calibrated with hydrogen peroxide and the results are expressed in micromolar by the hydrogen peroxide value per liter (mmol H2O2 equiv / L).

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?
Evaluation of the relationship between hypotensive anesthesia technique and brain hypoxia by the rate of NIRS (time frame: intraoperative 2 hours). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
