About this study

Official title: Comparison of Desflurane and Sevoflurane Minimal Flow Anesthesia on Recovery Parameters and Anesthetic Depth: a Randomized Prospective Study

Minimal flow anesthesia has economic and environmental advantages in addition to providing earlier recovery following general anesthesia. There is a paucity of data concerning the effect of minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0,5 l/min) on recovery parameters. The primary objective of this study is to compare the recovery parameters of desflurane and sevoflurane in minimal flow anesthesia while the secondary objective is to compare the effect of these agents on anesthetic depth using bispectral index.

Conditions
Anesthesia
Being tested
Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using Sevoflurane, Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using Desflurane
Keywords
general anesthesia, low flow anesthesia, sevoflurane, desflurane

What participants receive

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

  • Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using SevofluraneProcedure or surgery

    Sevoflurane will be used for the maintenance of general anesthesia which will be carried out using a fresh gas flow of less than 0,5 l/min

  • Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using DesfluraneProcedure or surgery

    Desflurane will be used for the maintenance of general anesthesia which will be carried out using a fresh gas flow of less than 0,5 l/min

Study groups in NCT05024084
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group SevofluraneActive comparatorThe patients in this arm will be given Sevoflurane (2-3%) as volatile anesthetic throughout the duration of anesthesia.
Receives: Procedure: Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using Sevoflurane
Group DesfluraneActive comparatorThe patients in this arm will be given Desflurane (7-8%) as volatile anesthetic throughout the duration of anesthesia.
Receives: Procedure: Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using Desflurane

What is being measured

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

  1. Time until extubation

    Time interval between discontinuation of the volatile anesthetics and removal of the endotracheal tube

    Measured: Up to 10 minutes after discontinuation of the volatile anesthetic

  2. Time until eye opening

    Time interval between discontinuation of the volatile anesthetics and eye opening with verbal command

    Measured: Up to 20 minutes after discontinuation of the volatile anesthetic

  3. Time until transfer readiness

    Time interval between discontinuation of the volatile anesthetics and Aldrete score reaching 9 or greater

    Measured: Up to 45 minutes after discontinuation of the volatile anesthetic

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anesthetic depth provided by the volatile anesthetic

    Anesthetic depth as measured by Bispectral Index

    Measured: Change in Bispectral Index values at 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using Sevoflurane and Minimal flow anesthesia (fresh gas flow <0.5 l/min) using Desflurane in people with Anesthesia, run by Ufuk University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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 20 Sep 2021. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Contact Baturay K Kazbek, Ass. Prof. (+903122044000 ext. 4099, bkkazbek@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time until extubation (time frame: Up to 10 minutes after discontinuation of the volatile anesthetic). 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 NCT05024084, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Sep 2021.
