About this study

Official title: Comparison of Intraoperative Bleeding During Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Between Patients Receiving Total Intravenous Anesthesia With Propofol and Patients Receiving an Inhalational Anesthetic With Sevoflurane

The purpose of this study is to compare the blood loss during sinus surgery looking at two different types of anesthesia: either intravenous anesthesia with propofol or inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane.

Conditions
Blood Loss
Being tested
propofol, sevoflurane

What participants receive

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

Receives: Drug: sevoflurane

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimated Blood Loss

    Estimated blood loss in milliliters per hour is calculated by subtracting the volume of total irrigation used during the case from the total amount of fluid in the suction canister at the end of surgery and dividing by surgical time in hours.

    Measured: from the start of surgery to the end of surgery, up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Anesthesiologist Numeric Rating Scale (ANRS)

    The anesthesiologist numeric rating scale is to rate the ease of the anesthesia technique ranging from 0 to 10 (10 is best, 0 is worst).

    Measured: at the end of surgery (up to 6 hours)

  2. Surgeon's Numeric Rating Scale (SNRS)

    The surgeon's numeric rating scale(SNRS)is to rate the surgical conditions (mucosal bleeding and visibility) on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, with 0 defined as cadaveric conditions and 10 as severe bleeding requiring constant suction.

    Measured: at the end of surgery (up to 6 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing propofol and sevoflurane in people with Blood Loss, run by University of Chicago 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 6 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 14 Feb 2014. 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 9 Jan 2014). 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?

Estimated Blood Loss (time frame: from the start of surgery to the end of surgery, up to 6 hours). 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 14 Feb 2014.
