About this study

The aim in this study was to quantify the difference in cisatracurium and sufentanil consumption, and its recovery period, when patients are under balanced general anesthesia with 1% sevoflurane and patients under only sevoflurane general anesthesia, using a closed loop computer control infusion. Investigators further investigated this effect on its recovery period and sufentanyl consumption.

Read the detailed description

156 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II were assigned to three groups. The patients were all on schedule for elective general surgery under general anesthesia with duration of at two to four hours. All patients were induced with Etomidate (0.2mg/kg), Midazolam (0.05-0.1mg/kg), Sufentanil (0.3-0.5µg/kg) and a bolus dose of Cisatracurium (0.15mg/kg). Patients were aged between 20 and 65. The maintenance of anesthesia in each group varies as follows: Patients in Group 1 were all maintained with Total Intravenous Anesthesia, Group 2 with Sevoflurane at 1% and propofol infusion, Group 3 with only sevoflurane. Muscle paralysis is maintained using a closed-loop computer gated infusion of Cisatracurium which kept T1 <1% by giving increasing the infusion rate intra-operatively when required. Analgesia was maintained by intermittent bolus dose of 10-20 µg of Sufentanil.

What participants receive

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

  • 1% SevofluraneDrug

    In this group of patients, the maintenance of anesthesia is done by 1% sevoflurane + propofol infusion. Propofol infusion is adjusted according to the Bispectral Index.

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called Total Intravenous Anesthesia

    In this group the maintenance of anesthesia is maintained by only propofol infusion.

  • SevofluraneDrug

    In this group only sevoflurane was used for maintenance of anesthesia. the dose of sevoflurane is adjusted to maintain Bispectral Index within 45 and 55.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cisatracurium consumption rate.

    Measurements were done intraoperatively. Investigators obtained data from the closed loop computer system, from which the intra-operative consumption of cisatracurium were obtained from each patient. Data were collected only during surgery. Each patient had different cisatracurium consumption rate, and the mean consumption rate of the patients within the same group were calculated, and compared with the means from the other groups.

    Measured: At the time of surgery.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Analysis of Means of Recovery Index.

    Recovery Index was the time for the Train-Of-Four ratio (TOF) to increase from 25% to 75%. The TOF ratio was recorded every minute till it reached 90%. Time taken for each patient was from 5 to 25 minutes. Investigators compared the average recovery index of patients from each group.

    Measured: 30 minutes post operative.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1% Sevoflurane, Propofol and Sevoflurane in people with Drug Interaction Potentiation, run by Tianjin Medical University General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 29 Nov 2012. 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 China. 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?

Cisatracurium consumption rate. (time frame: At the time of surgery.). 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 29 Nov 2012.
