About this study

Official title: Low-dose Neuroleptanalgesia Reduce the Occurrences of Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Non-cardiac Major Surgery : a Randomized Controlled Trial

Postoperative delirium(POD)is a common complication that can directly affect important clinical outcomes, and exert an enormous burden on patients, their families, hospitals, and public resources. In order to evaluate whether an intraoperative administration of low-dose neuroleptanalgesia reduces postoperative delirium, droperidol 1.25 mg and fentanyl 0.025 mg or normal saline is used by intravenous injection 30 minutes before the end of the operation, in elderly patients with non-cardiac major surgery under general anesthesia. The efficiency and safety of neuroleptanalgesia on the incidence of POD would be evaluated in elderly patients.

What participants receive

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

  • low-dose neuroleptanalgesiaDrug

    Droperidol 1.25 mg and fentanyl 0.025 mg (diluted with normal saline up to 5ml) is to be administrated intravenously 30 minutes before the end of the procedure.

  • PlaceboDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidences of POD after general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac major surgery

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery(or leaving hospital)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Length of hospital stay

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days

  2. Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery(or leaving hospital)

  3. Patients' satisfaction

    This outcome will be measured using a numeric rating scale from 1 ( dissatisfaction ) to 3 (very satisfied)

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery(or leaving hospital)

  4. Incidence of postoperative hypoxia

    Measured: Up to 1 day after surgery

  5. Incidence of major serious complications and serious arrhythmia

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery(or leaving hospital)

  6. Duration of postoperative delirium

    Measured: Up to 7 days after surgery(or leaving hospital)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing low-dose neuroleptanalgesia in people with Stomach Neoplasms and Colonic Neoplasms, run by RenJi Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 6 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Diansan Su, Doctor (18616514088, 184872238@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidences of POD after general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac major surgery (time frame: Up to 7 days after surgery(or leaving hospital)). 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 6 Oct 2021.
