Trial summary

In several national anaesthesia societies, clear fluids are allowed up to 2 hours before general anaesthesia (GA) and light meals up to 6h. Because of aspiration risk, strict fasting remains routine. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Randomized Control Study : Safety and Efficacy of Carbohydrate Drink Ingested Two Hours Before Upper Endoscopy Under General Anaesthesia

In several national anaesthesia societies, clear fluids are allowed up to 2 hours before general anaesthesia (GA) and light meals up to 6h. Because of aspiration risk, strict fasting remains routine. Recently, surgical studies proved that pre-operative carbohydrate-rich drink reduces preoperative discomfort without affecting gastric fluid volume and acidity.The aim of this study was to show the effects of preanaesthetic oral fluid in patients undergoing upper endoscopy without emergency. The expected efficacy is a reduction of the preoperative discomfort. The investigators thus propose a randomised prospective open-label study to assess efficacy of preanaesthetic oral glucose drink in patients undergoing upper endoscopy without emergency. Study compare two groups : group "drink" (200 ml of fruit juice without pulp ± 200 ml of coffee or tea, 2 at 4 hours before the induction of anaesthesia) and group "overnight fasting".Discomfort was measured at 2 hours before GA (H-2), just before GA (H0) and 4h after anaesthesia (H+4). Each item (anxiety, thirst, hunger, nervousness, tiredness, nausea) was estimated by visual analogue scale (VAS from 0 to 100mm) and handgrip strength by dynamometer. Gastroenterologist assessed the quality of endoscopy (VAS), gastric residual fluid and acidity.The main aim of this study was to assess in patients referred for upper endoscopy under general anaesthesia, the effect of carbohydrate drink on preanaesthetic discomfort. Secondary purpose were to compare quality of endoscopy, residual gastric volumes, gastric acidity and incidence of side effects. 118 patients will be included in the study. A stratification will be made on the type of endoscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. percentage of preoperative patients increasing the anxiety score just before anaesthesia (H0)

    percentage of patients who increased the anxiety score (Visual Analogue Scale of Anxiety) just before anaesthesia.

    Measured: at H0 (just before anaesthesia). The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. discomfort (anxiety, thirst, hunger, nervousness, nausea, tiredness) assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) just before anaesthesia

    discomfort (anxiety, thirst, hunger, nervousness, nausea, tiredness) assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS from 0 to 100mmm) just before anaesthesia (at H0).

    Measured: at H0 (just before anaesthesia). The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

  2. handgrip strength assessed by dynamometer just before anaesthesia

    handgrip strength assessed by dynamometer just before anaesthesia

    Measured: at H0 (just before anaesthesia). The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

  3. quality of endoscopy estimated by gastroenterologist by visual analogue scale (VAS from 0 to 100mm)

    quality of endoscopy estimated by gastroenterologist by visual analogue scale (VAS from 0 to 100mm)

    Measured: The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

  4. gastric residual volume (ml)

    gastric residual volume (ml)

    Measured: The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

  5. amount of propofol (mg)

    the propofol consumption (mg)

    Measured: The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

  6. gastric acidity (pH)

    gastric acidity (pH) measured by pH indicator paper

    Measured: The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

  7. occurrence of vomiting

    occurrence of vomiting

    Measured: The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing group drink in people with Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

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 11 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 27 Feb 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 France. 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?

percentage of preoperative patients increasing the anxiety score just before anaesthesia (H0) (time frame: at H0 (just before anaesthesia). The participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of one day.). 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 27 Feb 2013.
