Trial summary

The investigators attempted to determine an adequate priming volume for our infusion system, and investigated the extent of a possible delay of the drug effect, that would result from mechanical defects of the infusion system, with or without priming the infusion system, using direct gravimetrical measurements of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Proper Operation of the Syringe Pump Used in Priming of the Syringe

The investigators attempted to determine an adequate priming volume for our infusion system, and investigated the extent of a possible delay of the drug effect, that would result from mechanical defects of the infusion system, with or without priming the infusion system, using direct gravimetrical measurements of virtual infusate amounts during target controlled infusion of 2 remifentanil diluents.

Read the detailed description

Priming the infusion system (PRIMING) was performed using an evacuation of 2.0 ml to the atmosphere prior to Target-controlled Infusion (TCI). Forty eight TCI, using 50 μg/ml or 20 μg/ml of remifentanil diluents, were performed targeting 4.0 ng/ml of effect site concentration (Ceff), with or without PRIMING. Using simulations, the gravimetrical measurements of the delivered infusates reproduced actual predicted concentrations.

What participants receive

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

  • Remi50 with primeDevice

    Also called remi50 prime

    for using experimental TCIs, targeting an effect-site concentration (Ceff) of 4.0 ng/ml, was performed using 50 μg/ml (Remi50) of remifentanil, with PRIMING

  • Remi20 with primeDevice

    Also called remi20 prime

    For using experimental TCIs, targeting an effect-site concentration (Ceff) of 4.0 ng/ml, was 20 μg/ml (Remi20) of remifentanil, and with PRIMING

What is being measured

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

  1. delivered infusates of remifentanil

    For targetting an effect-site concentration (Ceff) of 4.0 ng/ml, were randomly performed using 50 μg/ml (Remi50) or 20 μg/ml (Remi20) of remifentanil, and with or without PRIMING, TCI data files, including predicted plasma (Cp-proper), and effect-site (Ceff-proper) concentrations were saved

    Measured: base line from 30 min of TCI was maintained

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remi50 with prime and Remi20 with prime in people with Intravenous Drug Usage, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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 23 Nov 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 South Korea. 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?

delivered infusates of remifentanil (time frame: base line from 30 min of TCI was maintained). 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 NCT01477905, 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 23 Nov 2011.
