Trial summary

Procedural sedation involves the administration of sedative medications that allow patients to tolerate painful procedures. Procedural sedation has been formally recommended by experts from the French Society of Emergency Medicine (SFMU) since 2010 and procedural sedation using propofol in emergency departments has… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pupilometric Evaluation of Nociception in Patients With Orthopedic Impairment Under Procedural Sedation With Propofol in the Context of the Use of the ALGISCAN Device in the Vital Emergency Department in Pasteur 2 Hospital, Nice France

Procedural sedation involves the administration of sedative medications that allow patients to tolerate painful procedures. Procedural sedation has been formally recommended by experts from the French Society of Emergency Medicine (SFMU) since 2010 and procedural sedation using propofol in emergency departments has been recommended by the American College of Emergency Physicians in 2018.

Propofol monotherapy is now widely used in emergency medicine (EM) in France as part of procedural sedation for performing painful procedures, however propofol has no analgesic properties per se .

Pupilometry makes it possible to study the depth of analgesia by evaluating the body's nociceptive response via the ANS by studying the pupil diameter.

This technique would allow the evaluation of the analgesia level in patients sedated by PROPOFOL during the realization of painful procedures. Variations in pupil diameter during painful procedures under procedural sedation in an emergency department will be assesed in this study. Secondly, patients satisfaction following the procedure will also be evaluated by the use of the French version of the "ISAS-F", the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale.

What is being measured

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

  1. pupil dilation reflex

    Amplitude of pupil dilation reflex (PRD, in % change in pupil diameter)

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Pupil diameter using the Algiscan device

    Pupil diameter using the Algiscan device during the painful procedure.

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

  2. Pupil diameter variation using the Algiscan

    Pupil diameter variation using the Algiscan device during the painful procedure.

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

  3. Heteroevaluation of the patient's maximal pain

    Heteroevaluation of the patient's maximal pain by the doctor, caregiver or nurse using the Algoplus scale (from 0 to 5) during the painful procedure.

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

  4. Patient's minimal Ramsay score

    Patient's minimal Ramsay score (from 0 to 6) during painful procedure

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

  5. Level of sedation

    Level of sedation ("qCON" consciousness index)as continuously measured by the Conox® device

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

  6. Patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction as evaluated by the study questionnaire When patients are fully awaked

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

  7. feasibility of the measurement

    Assessment of the feasibility of the measurement by the personnel who carried out the pupilometry measurement.

    Measured: up to 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Orthopedic Disorder, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 8 Apr 2025. 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 France. 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?

pupil dilation reflex (time frame: up to 10 minutes). 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 8 Apr 2025.
