Trial summary

Pharmacologic preconditioning by volatile anesthetics may depend on the mode of administration. The researchers hypothesize that a continuous administration in patients scheduled for CABG surgery prebypass will be less effective in terms of attenuating myocardial cell damage compared to a repetitive administration… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Comparison Between Continuous and Repetitive Sevoflurane Administration for Preconditioning During Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Pharmacologic preconditioning by volatile anesthetics may depend on the mode of administration. The researchers hypothesize that a continuous administration in patients scheduled for CABG surgery prebypass will be less effective in terms of attenuating myocardial cell damage compared to a repetitive administration with a double wash in/wash out schedule. A control group will receive propofol as their primary anesthetic.

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    1 MAC Sevoflurane will be given either continuously after induction of anesthesia until initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass or will be repetitively washed in and out twice before initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass.

What is being measured

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

  1. Myocardial cell damage as assessed by plasma levels of Troponin T

    Measured: from induction of anesthesia until hospital discharge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Length of stay on the ICU and in the hospital

    Measured: from hospital admission until hospital discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sevoflurane in people with Myocardial Injury, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein at 1 site in Germany.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 7 Dec 2007. 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 Germany. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Myocardial cell damage as assessed by plasma levels of Troponin T (time frame: from induction of anesthesia until hospital discharge). 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 7 Dec 2007.
