About this study

Official title: Effect of Tetanic Stimuli on Photoplethysmogram During General Anesthesia

The effect of the location of tetanic stimulus on photoplethysmography signals will be studied in patients under general anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

A 5 second 100 Hz 70 mA tetanic stimulus will be applied to three different locations (Ulnar nerve, Facial nerve, Posterior Tibial nerve) in a random order in patients who are under general anesthesia. Tetanic stimuli are used routinely during general anesthesia to assess effectiveness of neuromuscular blockade. These tetanic stimuli are noxious stimuli that elicit a stress response which can be quantified using photoplethysmography. This study investigates if the magnitude of the tetanus induced stress response is dependent on the location of the tetanic stimulus as measured by photoplethysmography.

What participants receive

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

  • Tetanic StimulusDevice

    5 second 100 Hz 70 mA tetanic stimulus will be applied to three different anatomical locations in each subject.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tetanic StimulusExperimentalall participants receive the same intervention, which is three tetanic stimuli applied to three different anatomical locations. The three anatomical locations are identical in all subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tetanic Stimulus Induced Change in Photoplethysmography Light Transmission (in Analog to Digital Units as Measured Using a Pulse Oximeter) From Pre Stimulus Baseline

    Tetanic stimulation will induce peripheral vasoconstriction. This will be measured using photoplethysmography. During peripheral vasoconstriction the light transmission through finger will increase. The primary outcome will be the maximum change in light transmission (as measured by photoplethysmography) within 60 seconds after a tetanic stimulus as compared to pre stimulus baseline values. These maximal light transmission changes will be compared between the three different tetanic stimulus sites

    Measured: Maximum light transmission change from pre tetanic stimulus baseline within 60 seconds after the tetanic stimulus

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tetanic Stimulus in people with Stress Reaction, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.

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 3 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 16 May 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 May 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Tetanic Stimulus Induced Change in Photoplethysmography Light Transmission (in Analog to Digital Units as Measured Using a Pulse Oximeter) From Pre Stimulus Baseline (time frame: Maximum light transmission change from pre tetanic stimulus baseline within 60 seconds after the tetanic stimulus). 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 16 May 2024.
