About this study

Official title: Effect of Ventilation on Speed of Induction of Anesthesia in Desflurane, Sevoflurane, and Isoflurane

Three groups of patients are going to have minor surgery under general anesthesia with inhaled anesthetics and different ventilatory setting (Tidal volume: 8, 10, 12 ml/kg, respiratory rate: 10/min each). Group A (Sevoflurane) will use sevoflurane, group B (Desflurane) will use desflurane, and group C (Isoflurane) will use isoflurane. It will be observed differences among the groups for ventilatory effects on speed of induction.

Duration of this randomised controlled trial will be about 3 months. Estimated sample size will be 36 patients(12 in each group).

Read the detailed description

No premedicant will be given. The anesthetic workstation and a circulatory circuit will be prefilled with 1.0 MAC of inhaled anesthetic that will be selected randomly.

  • Group A (n=12): Sevoflurane 2.0 vol%
  • Group B (n=12): Desflurane 6.0 vol%
  • Group C (n=12): Isoflurane 1.2 vol%

Each group has 3 subgroups according to the ventilatory setting that will also be randomly determined.

  • Hypoventilation: tidal volume 8 ml/kg, respiratory rate 10 /min
  • Normoventilation: tidal volume 10 ml/kg, respiratory rate 10 /min
  • Hyperventilation: tidal volume 12 ml/kg, respiratory rate 10 /min

Patients will be preoxygenated with 100% oxygen (5 L/min) for 5 minutes under pulse oximeter, EKG, and noninvasive blood pressure monitoring. Bispectral index (BIS) monitor will be applied.

The induction of general anesthesia will start with propofol (2 mg/kg), rocuronium (0.8 mg/kg) and remifentanil infusion (0.1 mcg/kg/min). The size of a tracheal tube will be 7.5 mm (ID) for male, 7.0 mm (ID) for female. After intubation, anesthesia workstation will be connected to the tracheal tube. Ventilation will start, and that point will be time 0. During 720 seconds, inspiratory (PIgas) and end-tidal concentration of inhaled anesthetics (ETgas), end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and BIS will be measured at time 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 ,150, 180, 240, 300, 360, 480, 600, and 720 seconds. Mean blood pressure and heart rate will also be recorded every 2 minutes. Fresh gas flow will be kept at 6 L/min with 100% oxygen.

The fraction of ETgas/PIgas will be analyzed with nonlinear mixed effects modeling.

Estimated sample size will be 36 patients (12 in each group, 4 in each ventilatory settings).

What is being measured

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

  1. End-tidal concentrations of isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane, and BIS values with hypo-, normo-, hyperventilation

    The inspiratory, and end-tidal concentrations of volatile anesthetics, partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide will be recorded from an S/5 Avance anesthetic workstation (Datex-Ohmeda) and an embedded monitor. BIS values are measured with a BIS monitor.

    Measured: at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 480, 600, 720 sec after volatile gas starts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane, Desflurane and Isoflurane in people with Pharmacokinetics of Inhaled Anesthetics, run by DongGuk University.

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 5 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 13 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

End-tidal concentrations of isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane, and BIS values with hypo-, normo-, hyperventilation (time frame: at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 480, 600, 720 sec after volatile gas starts). 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 13 Aug 2012.
