About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Responses During Induction: Comparison of Marsh and Schnider Pharmacokinetic Models in Propofol Plasma Target-controlled Infusion

To compare the hemodynamic changes during anesthesia induction between Marsh and Schnider plasma TCI models. We put forward a hypothesis that, if one TCI model is associated with much more prominent vasodilation effect or cardiac depression, a more sharp decrease in mean arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance , central venous return or stroke volume would be observed.

Read the detailed description

Current systems of propofol TCI are pre-programmed with the Marsh and Schnider pharmacokinetic models. Rate constants of Marsh are fixed, whereas compartment volumes and clearances are weight proportional. Schnider model has fixed values for VC, V3, k13, and k31, adjusts V2, k12, and k21 for age, and adjusts k10 according to total weight, lean body mass (LBM), and height. One major benefit of the Schnider model is that it adjusts doses and infusion rates according to patient age. This provides a strong argument for using the Schnider model in the elderly and unwell patients which may improve hemodynamic stability and safety.

However for the vast majority of young and middle age patients, whether Marsh or Schnider would be a better choice for hemodynamic stability remains unknown.

With marsh model, as VC is scaled to body weight, the amount of drug delivered is dependent of body weight. In the Schnider model, as VC at 4.27L is independent of body weight, VC in terms of ml/kg decreases as body weight increases. This and the influence of height and weight on clearance results in heavier patients receiving less propofol on a mg/kg basis whereas those with a lower lean body mass will initially receive about 30% less than delivered by Marsh, but after 30 min, the Schnider model delivers about 15% more. Besides, when Schnider model is used in the morbidly obese, the LBM equation can generate paradoxical values resulting in excessive increases in maintenance infusion rates. Nevertheless, the purpose of this study was to investigate the vast majority of Asian patients whose body weight were in normal range. Only patients with BMI between 18 and 29 were included to minimize the influential factor of body weight in TCI system.

To compare the hemodynamic changes during anesthesia induction between Marsh and Schnider plasma TCI models. We put forward a hypothesis that, if one TCI model is associated with much more prominent vasodilation effect or cardiac depression, a more sharp decrease in mean arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance , central venous return or stroke volume would be observed.

What participants receive

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

  • Marsh Plasma TCI with high initial targetProcedure or surgery

    Also called Plasma target-controlled infusion in Marsh model

    plasma target-controlled infusion in Marsh model(n=30) with an initial target concentration of 4 μg/ml. Target was then reset and gradually titrated to a sedation level with narcotrend index below 64.

  • Schnider Plasma TCI with high initial targetProcedure or surgery

    Also called Plasma target-controlled infusion in Schnider model

    plasma target-controlled infusion in Schnider model(n=30) with an initial target concentration of 4 μg/ml. Target was then reset and gradually titrated to a sedation level with narcotrend index below 64.

What is being measured

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

  1. SVI (Stroke Volume Index) Value Change From Baseline Level at the End of the First 25 Minutes.

    After propofol infusion started, according to sedation level, TCI targets were gradually titrated to reach a state of equilibrium at the end of the first 25 minutes. SVI were continuously monitored, at the end of the first 25 minutes, value change from baseline level were calculated.

    Measured: The end of the first 25 minutes after propofol infusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. NI (Narcotrend Index) Reduction

    Narcotrend was utilized to continuously record patients' sedation level during induction, provided as a criteria for Cpt (Plasma Target Concentration) adjustment.

    Measured: 25 minutes after propofol infusion

  2. CVP (Central Venous Pressure)

    CVP was continuously monitored to assess preload condition and served to calculate SVRI (systemic vascular resistance index) every minute during the first 25 minutes of infusion.

    Measured: 25 minutes after induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Marsh Plasma TCI with high initial target and Schnider Plasma TCI with high initial target in people with Healthy, run by First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University 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 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 29 Mar 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 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Mar 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

SVI (Stroke Volume Index) Value Change From Baseline Level at the End of the First 25 Minutes. (time frame: The end of the first 25 minutes after propofol infusion). 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 NCT01759160, 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?
