About this study

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of obesity on changes in microvascular reactivity and tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) during general anesthesia using near-infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with vascular occlusion tests (VOT).

For this prospective observation investigation, a total of 128 patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia at Pusan National University Hospital between June 2018 and February 2021 were participated in this study. Baseline StO2 on thenar eminence, hemodynamics, and laboratory profile were monitored before (Tpre) and 30 min after general anesthesia (Tpost). During vascular occlusion tests (VOT), the occlusion slope representing oxygen consumption of muscle and recovery slope representing microvascular reactivity were also collected at Tpre and Tpost. For analysis, the patients were divided into two groups: overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25 kg/m2) and normal weight (BMI < 25).

Read the detailed description

Preoperative laboratory findings were obtained. Mean blood pressure (MBP), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), skin temperature, and VOT-derived measurements, including baseline tissue oxygen saturation (StO2), occlusion slope, minimum StO2, time to minimum StO2, recovery slope, maximum StO2, and time to baseline StO2 were recorded before (Tpre) and 30 min after general anesthesia (Tpost).

What is being measured

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

  1. Recovery slope after general aneshtesia (Tpost)

    Representing microvascular reactivity (Tpost: 30 minutes after general anesthesia); recovery slope was calculated from deflation of the tourniquet until the recovery of StO2 to the baseline value.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Recovery slope before general aneshtesia (Tpre)

    Representing microvascular reactivity (Tpre: before general anesthesia); recovery slope was calculated from deflation of the tourniquet until the recovery of StO2 to the baseline value.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Occlusion slope before general anesthesia (Tpre)

    representing oxygen consumption of muscle (Tpre: before general anesthesia); occlusion slope was defined as the slope of StO2 descent to the lowest value.

    Measured: 10 minutes

  3. Occlusion slope before general anesthesia (Tpost)

    representing oxygen consumption of muscle (Tpost: 30 minutes after general anesthesia); occlusion slope was defined as the slope of StO2 descent to the lowest value.

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Anesthesia, run by Pusan National University 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 10 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 17 Oct 2023. 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?

Recovery slope after general aneshtesia (Tpost) (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 NCT05829785, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Oct 2023.
