Trial summary

Normal cardiac and respiratory functions should be maintained during pediatric cardiac catheterization. Propofol has become a popular choice for sedation in children, however, it depresses cardiac and respiratory functions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Small-dose Ketamine on Depression of Respiratory and Cardiac Functions Caused by Propofol in Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization

Normal cardiac and respiratory functions should be maintained during pediatric cardiac catheterization. Propofol has become a popular choice for sedation in children, however, it depresses cardiac and respiratory functions. Some investigators reported that ketamine attenuates its depressant effect, but it remains unclear whether ketamine reduces cardiac and respiratory depression caused by propofol in pediatric cardiac catheterization.

What is being measured

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

  1. difference of end tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide between the groups

    Measured: 30 and 60 min after anesthetic induction

  2. difference of partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide between the groups

    Measured: 60 min after anesthetic induction on average

  3. heart rate change from baseline value

    Measured: 30 and 60 min after anesthetic induction

  4. non-invasive blood pressure change from baseline value

    Measured: 30 and 60 min after anesthetic induction

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. movement at topical anesthetic injection

    1. none (no movement or slight movement unnecessary to restrain)
    2. mild (movement necessary to restrain, limited to lower extremities)
    3. moderate (strong movement of lower extremities and movement of upper extremities unvecessary to restrain)
    4. severe (movement necessary to restrain upper extremities and body trunk in addition to lower extremities, or some vacalization)

    Measured: 20 min after anesthetic induction on average

  2. the number of times that secreted saliva is aspirated by an attending anesthesiologist

    Measured: From anesthetic induction to termination of anethetics administration, which is not over 2 hours from anesthetic induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ket10 and Ket20 in people with Congenital Heart Disease and Sedated for Cardiac Catheterization, run by Ibaraki Children's Hospital at 1 site in Japan.

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 3 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 30 Jul 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 Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

difference of end tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide between the groups (time frame: 30 and 60 min after anesthetic induction). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 30 Jul 2013.
