About this study

In the present study, we observe perioperative findings of electroencephalogram in sedated and non-sedated elderly patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

In the present study, we observe perioperative findings of electroencephalogram in sedated and non-sedated elderly patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Electroencephalogram is performed before, during, and 1 day after surgery.

After the induction of anesthesia, sedation is performed according to the patient's request. If a patient want to be sedated during surgery, one of the three sedatives (dexmedetomidine, propofol, and midazolam) is administered.

Being tested
Electroencephalogram

What is being measured

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

  1. EEG frequency bands (alpha, beta, theta, delta, and gamma waves) during spinal anesthesia

    EEG frequency bands are observed during spinal anesthesia under sedated or unsedated states.

    Measured: 30 min after the induction of spinal anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. EEG frequency bands (alpha, beta, theta, delta, and gamma waves) 1 day after surgery

    EEG frequency bands are observed after surgery and compared with the preoperative findings.

    Measured: 1 day after surgery

  2. Incidence of delirium

    Delirium is assessed after surgery.

    Measured: For 7 days after surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Effect of Sedatives, run by SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2020. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

EEG frequency bands (alpha, beta, theta, delta, and gamma waves) during spinal anesthesia (time frame: 30 min after the induction of spinal anesthesia). 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 30 Jan 2020.
