Trial summary

Hypercapnia derives increase of cerebral blood flow and cardiac output. It means that the rate of propofol elimination from the brain and the blood will be increased and the patient will awake more quickly. There has been no study about the effects of hypercapnia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Hypercapnia on Emergence From General Anesthesia Under Propofol: a Pilot Study

Hypercapnia derives increase of cerebral blood flow and cardiac output. It means that the rate of propofol elimination from the brain and the blood will be increased and the patient will awake more quickly. There has been no study about the effects of hypercapnia. The investigators will evaluate hypercapnia's effects on the recovery time from propofol anesthesia.

Being tested
Rebreathing tube, No rebreathing tube (Nothing)
Keywords
Emergence, Hypercapnia, Hypocapnia, Propofol
Medical subject headings
Hypercapnia, Hypocapnia

What participants receive

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

  • Rebreathing tubeProcedure or surgery

    750 ml rebreathing tube will be connected between the corrugated tube and the tracheal tube of a patient. Target partial pressure of the end-tidal carbon dioxide is 50 mmHg.

  • No rebreathing tube (Nothing)Procedure or surgery

    750 ml rebreathing tube will not be connected between the corrugated tube and the tracheal tube of a patient. Target partial pressure of the end-tidal carbon dioxide is 30 mmHg.

Study groups in NCT01531491
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hypercapnia groupExperimentalRespiratory rate will be 10/min and the rebreathing tube will be connected between the y-piece of corrugated tube and the tracheal tube to maintain the partial pressure of the end-tidal carbon dioxide at around 50 mmHg during emergence after propofol anesthesia.
Receives: Procedure: Rebreathing tube
Hypocapnia groupExperimentalNo rebreathing tube (Nothing) will be connected. Respiratory rate will be 10/min and the tidal volume will be modulated to maintain the partial pressure of the end-tidal carbon dioxide at around 30 mmHg during emergence after propofol anesthesia.
Receives: Procedure: No rebreathing tube (Nothing)

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to open eyes under investigator's command

    After stopping propofol infusion, every 30 seconds, the investigator (caregiver) will command the patient, "Open your eyes". When the patient opens eyes, the time will be recorded. The patients will be followed for an expected average of 10 minutes.

    Measured: From cessation of propofol infusion to patient's eye opening (seconds)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to breath spontaneously

    The time from cessation of propofol infusion to patient's spontaneous breaths will be recorded. The patients will be followed for an expected average of 10 minutes.

    Measured: From cessation of propofol infusion to patient's spontaneous breathing (sec)

  2. Change of bispectral index (BIS)

    After stopping propofol infusion, the BIS and time (seconds) will be recorded and reviewed. These will be recorded for an expected average of 15 minutes.

    Measured: From the cessation of propofol infusion to extubation, BIS and time (seconds) will be recorded.

  3. Time to open mouth under investigator's command

    After the patient opens the eyes, every 10 seconds, the investigator command the patient, "Open your mouth.". When the patient opens mouth, the time will be recorded. The patients will be followed for an expected average of 12 minutes.

    Measured: From cessation of propofol infusion to patient's mouth opening (seconds)

  4. Time to extubation

    After stopping propofol infusion, When the patient breaths spontaneously with adequate tidal volume and respiratory rates, the trachea will be extubated and the time will be recorded. The patients will be followed for an expected average of 15 minutes.

    Measured: From cessation of propofol infusion to extubation (sec)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rebreathing tube and No rebreathing tube (Nothing) in people with Anesthesia, Intravenous and Anesthesia Recovery Period, run by DongGuk University 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 16 Feb 2015. 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?

Time to open eyes under investigator's command (time frame: From cessation of propofol infusion to patient's eye opening (seconds)). 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 16 Feb 2015.
