About this study

Official title: Dose Surgical Pleth Index Play a Role to Predict Optimal Timing for Tracheal Intubation During Anesthetic Induction?

Surgical pleth index (SPI) has been widely investigated in assessing the nociceptive level, and tracheal intubation is a noxious stimulus during the induction of anesthesia. This study aims to evaluate the ability of SPI to predict hemodynamic reactivity after tracheal intubation, and find the target value of SPI to guide the optimal timing for tracheal intubation.

Read the detailed description

The surgical pleth index (SPI)monitored by a oxygen saturation (Spo2) probe, is a dimensionless score which is based on the photoplethysmographic analysis of the pulse wave and the heartbeat interval. SPI score monitored during surgery is the indicator that may reflect a patient's autonomic response to certain noxious stimulus and is correlated to his/her nociception level. Once noxious stimulus occur, sympathetically-mediated vasoconstriction and cardiac autonomic tone increasing can be reflected by SPI. Several studies have since investigated the potential benefits of SPI-guided anesthesia, such as SPI could reduce the intraoperative opioid consumption and facilitate extubation after surgery.Jain N et al. found that the need for postoperative analgesics decreased although fentanyl consumption increased, when SPI guided opioid use Intraoperatively . The level of SPI was also reported to be able to predict postoperative pain, which could guide clinical use of opioids and improve patient postoperative satisfaction.

Recent studies on SPI mainly focus on the maintenance period of anesthesia and postoperative analgesia, and there is few studies on the application of SPI in anesthesia induction period. Hemodynamic stability in induction period has always been the technical key point that anesthesiologists pay attention to, especially for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, maintaining hemodynamic stability is particularly important. Endotracheal intubation is a common procedure during general anesthesia. The hemodynamic fluctuation caused by intubation stimulation is usually caused by the premature timing of intubation.

At present, the timing of intubation is much depended on the clinical experience of an anesthesiologist, such as according to the degree of blood pressure, heart rate decline or predicted onset of propofol,opioid and neuromascular blocker. This study aims to explore whether the SPI can be used in quantitative prediction of intubation timing or prediction the hemodynamic reactivity after intubation, and to investigate the influence of age and gender on SPI value.

What is being measured

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

  1. ability of SPI to predict hemodynamic reactivity after tracheal intubation in general population

    The area under receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of SPI

    Measured: within 2 minutes after trachea intubation

  2. ability of SPI to predict hemodynamic reactivity after tracheal intubation in female

    The area under receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of SPI

    Measured: within 2 minutes after trachea intubation

  3. ability of SPI to predict hemodynamic reactivity after tracheal intubation in male

    The area under receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of SPI

    Measured: within 2 minutes after trachea intubation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. influence factors of hemodynamic reactivity

    using logistic regression model

    Measured: within 2 minutes after trachea intubation

  2. Cardiovascular stress level

    delta rate pressure product (ΔRPP) between different ranges of SPI

    Measured: within 2 minutes after trachea intubation

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ability of SPI to predict hemodynamic reactivity after tracheal intubation in general population (time frame: within 2 minutes after trachea intubation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04608240, which also lists 3 linked publications.
