Trial summary

The glycocalyx is a dynamic and complex biochemical structure composed of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and soluble proteins. The glycocalyx interacts with various proteins such as albumin and orosomucoid to form a thick surface layer on the vessel surface that is physiologically active. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Sevoflurane and Desflurane on Endothelial Glycocalyx in Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Surgery

The glycocalyx is a dynamic and complex biochemical structure composed of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and soluble proteins. The glycocalyx interacts with various proteins such as albumin and orosomucoid to form a thick surface layer on the vessel surface that is physiologically active. This is called the endothelial surface layer. This structure is constantly changing with the blood flowing in the vein. The glycocalyx regulates oncotic pressure and also prevents leukocyte and platelet adhesion to the endothelium. Endothelial cell dysfunction is a valuable marker of increased vascular permeability and impaired angiogenesis due to cardiovascular, thoracic, renal, and metabolic diseases.

The glycocalyx is a dynamic and complex biochemical structure composed of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and soluble proteins. The glycocalyx interacts with various proteins such as albumin and orosomucoid to form a thick surface layer on the vessel surface that is physiologically active. This is called the endothelial surface layer. This structure is constantly changing with the blood flowing in the vein. The glycocalyx regulates oncotic pressure and also prevents leukocyte and platelet adhesion to the endothelium. Endothelial cell dysfunction is a valuable marker of increased vascular permeability and impaired angiogenesis due to cardiovascular, thoracic, renal, and metabolic diseases.

Some medical approaches, including anti-thrombin III, nitric oxide, the TNF-α analog etanercept, and inhalation agents, can repair or prevent deterioration of the endothelial glycocalyx. In a study by Chen et al., it was shown that Sevoflurane has a protective effect on syndecan and heparan sulfate, which are located in the glycocalyx structure, thus reducing leukocyte and platelet adhesion and protecting the vascular endothelium (8).

Kim et al. In a study conducted, it was shown that the protective effect of propofol, an intravenous anesthetic, on the vascular endothelium was greater than that of sevoflurane In our research, no study was found on the effect of another inhalation anesthetic, desflurane, on the vascular glycocalyx structure. In this study, we aimed to investigate and compare the effects of sevoflurane and desflurane on glycocalyx.

Being tested
desflurane anesthesia, sevoflurane anesthesia

What participants receive

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

  • desflurane anesthesiaDiagnostic test

    Anesthesia maintenance of the first group will be provided with desflurane, one of the inhalation anesthetics we routinely use. Before and after the operation, blood will be taken from the patients, and the blood will be centrifuged to evaluate the heparan sulfate and syndecan levels.

  • sevoflurane anesthesiaDiagnostic test

    Anesthesia maintenance of the first group will be provided with sevoflurane, one of the inhalation anesthetics we routinely use. Before and after the operation, blood will be taken from the patients, and the blood will be centrifuged to evaluate the heparan sulfate and syndecan levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. glycocalyx components

    The primary aim of the study was to measure the levels of heparan sulfate and syndecan, which are markers of endothelial glycocalyx structure, after the use of desflurane or sevoflurane. High biomarker levels are associated with impaired glycocalyx structure

    Measured: the study will comlete in one month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. haemodynamic changes

    The secondary aim of the study is to compare the hemodynamic effects of sevoflurane and desflurane.

    Measured: studdy will complete in one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endothelial Dysfunction, run by Kocaeli Derince Education and Research Hospital 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 1 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 9 Nov 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.

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?

glycocalyx components (time frame: the study will comlete in one month). 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 9 Nov 2021.
