About this study

To compare Bispectral index and entropy during maintenance of anesthesia

Read the detailed description

Several monitors are currently proposed to evaluate the depth of hypnosis. Among them, Bispectral Index (BIS) is a well known and widely used parameter derived from the patient's electroencephalograph (EEG). Spectral entropy relies on the extent of disorder in both EEG and electromyography (EMG) signals and returns 2 values: State Entropy (SE) and Response Entropy. SE is computed over the frequency range of 0.8-32 Hz and reflects the level of hypnosis while Response Entropy is computed over the frequency range of 0.8-47 Hz and reflects also EMG activity. BIS and SE are dimensionless numbers scaled from 100 to 0 for BIS and from 91 to 0 for SE.

The BIS and Entropy manufacturers claim that adequate level of anesthesia is defined by a BIS or SE value between 40 and 60. But some observations have shown that the monitors provided different information. These observations led us to carry out this prospective observational study designed to study the comparability between BIS and SE during the maintenance period of propofol-sufentanil anesthesia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia, General, run by Hopital Foch at 2 sites 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 15 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00391963, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Jan 2009.
