Trial summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of recovery (QoR)-15 scores according to the use of maintenance anesthetics in the lumbar fusion surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have been known to help reducing risks of postoperative nausea/vomiting and malignant hyperthermia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 Scores According to the Anesthetics (Desflurane vs. Remimazolam) in the Patients With Lumbar Fusion Surgery: a Prospective Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of recovery (QoR)-15 scores according to the use of maintenance anesthetics in the lumbar fusion surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have been known to help reducing risks of postoperative nausea/vomiting and malignant hyperthermia. However, it is still not enough to explain which is better between TIVA or inhalation anesthesia. In particular, there is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery via QoR-15 in patients receiving TIVA with remimazolam. The hypothesis of our study is that total intravenous anesthesia based on remimazolam will demonstrate better quality of recovery compared with the anesthesia based on inhalation using desflurane.

Being tested
Desflurane, Remimazolam

What participants receive

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

  • DesfluraneDrug

    General anesthesia for patients will be inducted and maintained with desflurane inhalation and remifentanil infusion.

    Remimazolam group will be started with remiamazolam at 6 mg/kg/h and TCI Minto model of remifentanil for the time of anesthesia induction, and maintained at 0.5

  • RemimazolamDrug

    General anesthesia for patients will be inducted and maintained with desflurane inhalation and remifentanil infusion.

    Remimazolam group will be started with remiamazolam at 6 mg/kg/h and TCI Minto model of remifentanil for the time of anesthesia induction, and maintained at 0.5

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference of QoR-15 scores

    The difference of scores in the Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 survey between desflurane group and remimazolam group. 0 (minimum), 150 (maximum): Higher scores means better.

    Measured: postoperative day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Desflurane and Remimazolam in people with Lumbar Fusion Surgery, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2024. 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 South Korea. 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 difference of QoR-15 scores (time frame: postoperative day 1). 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 Apr 2024.
