Trial summary

Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia are both widely and safely used, and there are many clinical trials comparing these on various aspects of anesthesia. However, there have not been studies comparing the quality of recovery from the different methods of general anesthesia. Read more about this study

About this study

Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalation anesthesia are both widely and safely used, and there are many clinical trials comparing these on various aspects of anesthesia. However, there have not been studies comparing the quality of recovery from the different methods of general anesthesia. In this study, the investigators compare the functional recovery after general anesthesia in TIVA and inhalation anesthesia with QoR-40 questionnaire.

Being tested
desflurane group, TIVA group
Keywords
desflurane, total intravenous anesthesia, QoR-40

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

  • desflurane groupDrug

    anesthesia is maintained with desflurane and remifentanil (Desflurane group)

  • TIVA groupDrug

    anesthesia is maintained with fresofol and remifentanil (TIVA group).

What is being measured

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

  1. QoR-40 score

    QoR-40 score is going to be measured at preoperative period, 24 hours, and 48 hours later after surgery.

    Measured: at 24 hours later after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing desflurane group and TIVA group in people with Thyroid Operation Under General Anesthesia, run by Yonsei 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 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

QoR-40 score (time frame: at 24 hours later after surgery). 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 NCT01760018, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
