Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • adult ASA class I-III subjects of both genders scheduled to undergo eye surgery at the Moran Hospital.

Who cannot join

  • a history of renal or hepatic disease, chronic alcohol or drug abuse, disabling neuropsychiatric disorder, hypersensitivity, or unusual response to other halogenated anesthetics, pulmonary hypertension, increased intracranial pressure, seizure disorder, or personal/familial history of malignant hyperthermia, and current smokers.
  • Subjects will also be excluded if they are currently being treated with known hepatic enzyme-inducing drugs (e.g., phenobarbital, dilantin, or isoniazid) or with drugs known to alter anesthetic requirements (e.g., opiates, clonidine, alpha2 agonists, alcohol, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines or other tranquilizers).
  • Subjects will also be excluded if they have intolerance to non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
  • In addition subjects who have received general anesthesia within the previous 7 days, received any investigational drug within the previous 28 days, or participated in a previous isoflurane or desflurane study will be excluded.
  • Female subjects can be neither pregnant nor breast feeding.
  • Subjects with significant restrictive lung disease will also be excluded.
  • Subjects passing these criteria will be further evaluated with a medical history including medications, abbreviated physical examination, clinical laboratory tests (urine drug test), and a urine or serum human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test for women with childbearing potential.

About this study

Official title: Improved Patient Recovery of Spontaneous Respiration After Anesthesia With Hypercapnic Hyperpnoea

The proposed study will measure the incidence of adverse events and the decrease in time to meet discharge criteria from the post anesthesia care unit when hypercapnic and hyperpnoea are used during emergence.

Read the detailed description

Hypercapnia has been used in conjunction with hyperpnoea to provide a more rapid return of responsiveness after inhaled anesthesia. The benefits of accelerating patient recovery in the operating room may extend to the post anesthesia care unit if the patient is more alert and easier to care for when they arrive in the unit. Respiratory patterns and gas levels - including CO2, O2, and anesthetic vapor - will be measured in order to better understand a patient's respiratory status during recovery.

In Feb 2009 we finished our first study (IRB 26111) and submitted a publication. The journal reviewers identified a serious limitation: we could not report whether the treated patients recovered from anesthesia faster because the treatment (inspired CO2) caused them to breath more vigorously or because the treatment caused the anesthetic vapors to be cleared more rapidly from the brain. Our new application uses essentially the same study protocol as the former study but adds chest bands to measure the patient's rate of breathing and expired gas monitoring to measure the rate at which the vapors are removed.

What is being measured

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

  1. treatment (inspired CO2) caused patients to breath more vigorously

    Chest bands measuring the patients tidal volume will show that patients who receive the treatment will have larger tidal volumes than patients in the control group during the first 10 minutes after the end of surgery

    Measured: 30 min

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. treatment caused the anesthetic vapors to be cleared more rapidly

    A anesthetic gas analyzer will measure the amount of anesthetic gas in the patient's exhaled gas and will show that patients who receive the treatment will have lower exhaled anesthetic gas concentration than patients in the control group during the first 10 minutes after the end of surgery

    Measured: 30 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing QED-100 in people with Recovery From Anesthesia, run by University of Utah.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 22 Aug 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

treatment (inspired CO2) caused patients to breath more vigorously (time frame: 30 min). 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 22 Aug 2016.
