Trial summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether ketamine is an acceptable alternative to etomidate for anesthesia induction in coronary artery bypass graft surgery in terms of hemodynamic stability and also to compare these agents regarding their effect on adrenal gland steroid synthesis in these patients.

What participants receive

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

  • KetamineDrug

    During standard anesthesia induction with fentanyl and midazolam, ketamine 2 mg/kg IV will be administered

  • EtomidateDrug

    During standard anesthesia induction with fentanyl and midazolam, etomidate 3 mg/kg IV will be administered

What is being measured

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

  1. A more than 15% change in mean arterial pressure and heart rate after anesthesia induction

    Measured: For 60 minutes after anesthesia induction

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adrenal gland steroid synthesis suppression

    A less than 9 microgram/dl increase in serum cortisol after stimulation with adrenocorticotropic hormone

    Measured: 24 hours and 5 days after study drug administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ketamine and Etomidate in people with Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, run by Baskent University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2011. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Özgür Kömürcü (+90 312 215 99 41, zgrkom@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A more than 15% change in mean arterial pressure and heart rate after anesthesia induction (time frame: For 60 minutes after anesthesia induction). 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 1 Jul 2011.
