Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Older adult

Study population: Patients > 65 years old who will undergo elective surgery under general anesthesia will be include in the study. In the preoperative unit, the FTc value in B-mode will be measured under ultrasound guidance (Esaote, MyLab tm Six Ultrasound). After the measurement, in the operating room the patients will be monitored with 3-lead electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and noninvasive blood pressure (Infinity Kappa monitor, GE Medical Systems, Inc, Telford, PA). Before induction of anesthesia, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate will be measured for 3 minutes at 1-minute intervals. Anesthesia induction will be achieved with iv 1-2 mg/kg of propofol and iv 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium will be added for muscle relaxation.Sevoflurane 1-2% and 50-50% oxygen-nitrous oxide will be used during mask ventilation. After anesthesia induction, SBP, DBP, MAP and heart rate will be measured for 3 minutes at 1-minute intervals.

About this study

Official title: The Role of Carotis Flow Time in Prediction of Hypotension After Anesthesia Induction in Elderly Patients

The aim of our study is to determine the predictive value of pre-anesthesia FTc for hypotension that may develop after general anesthesia induction in patients over 65 years of age and to investigate the correlation between pre-anesthesia FTc and the magnitude of the maximum decrease in systolic blood pressure from the pre-anaesthetic value.

Read the detailed description

The FTc value of the patients to be included in the study will be measured by ultrasonography 10 minutes before the induction of anesthesia.After the measurement, the patients will be monitored with 3-lead electrocardiography, pulse oximetry and noninvasive blood pressure in the operating room. Before induction of general anesthesia, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MAP), oxygen saturation and heart rate will measured for 3 minutes at 1-minute intervals. Induction of anesthesia with 1-2 mg/kg propofol, muscle relaxation will be achieved with 0.6 mg/kg intravenous rocuronium. During mask ventilation, 1-2% concentration of sevoflurane and 50-50% oxygen-nitrous oxide will be used. After the anesthesia induction, SBP, DBP, MAP, oxygen saturation and heart rate will be measured for 3 minutes at 1-minute intervals.

Hypotension; defined as a 30% reduction in SBP or a 20% reduction in MAP, or an absolute SBP below 90 mm Hg and MAP below 65 mm Hg within 3 minutes of induction of general anesthesia.Intravenous (iv) noradrenaline and/or iv crystalloid will be used in the treatment of hypotension.

What participants receive

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

  • ultrasound-guided carotid artery flow time measurementDevice

    Ultrasound-guided corrected carotid artery flow time will be measured before anestesia induction.

What is being measured

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

  1. anesthesia induction related hypotension

    Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MAP) were measured 1 minute before anesthesia induction and after anesthesia induction (at 1 minute intervals for 3 minutes). Hypotension was defined as 30% decrease in SBP or a 20% decrease in MAP or absolute SBP less than 90 mm Hg, and MAP below 65 mm Hg within 3 minutes of induction of general anaesthesia.

    Measured: at 1 minute after anesthesia induction, at 2 minutes after anesthesia induction, at 3 minutes anesthesia induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Flow Time and Carotid Doppler Ultrasound, run by Cukurova 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 2 inclusion and 13 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 Dec 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 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?

anesthesia induction related hypotension (time frame: at 1 minute after anesthesia induction, at 2 minutes after anesthesia induction, at 3 minutes anesthesia induction). 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 Dec 2023.
