About this study

Official title: Comparison of Bispectral Index and Entropy With Electroencephalogram During Sevoflurane Anaesthesia

Bispectral Index (BIS) and Entropy indices will be compared with each other, and to raw EEG signals in patients receiving sevoflurane anaesthesia. BIS and Entropy numbers often differ significantly from each other during surgery, and the reason for this has not been studied in detail, therefore remaining only poorly understood. BIS and Entropy, together with multi-channel EEG, will be collected and analyzed later on. Course of anaesthesia and surgery will be annotated. All relevant information from anaesthesia monitor will be collected on computer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anaesthesia and Surgery, run by Arvi Yli-Hankala at 1 site in Finland.

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 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 9 Oct 2013. 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 Finland. 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?

Morphology of electroencephalogram during discrepancy between Entropy and BIS index values (time frame: 15 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01077674, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 9 Oct 2013.
