Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that using Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) and Entropy in adjunct to other clinical information decreases the occurrence rate of inadequate anesthesia events, bradycardia and hypotension in comparison to standard clinical practice during anesthesia.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Ability to provide written informed consent
  • Age 18-80 years of age
  • Surgery that is expected to last at least 2 hours under general anesthesia with endotracheal tube

Who cannot join

  • Any subject that meets the definition of vulnerable subject as defined in ISO 14155:2011
  • Per ISO 14155:2011, a vulnerable subject is defined as an individual whose willingness to volunteer in a clinical investigation could be unduly influenced by the expectation, whether justified or not, of benefits associated with participation or of retaliatory response from senior members of a hierarchy in case of refusal to participate
  • Any subject with a cardiac pacemaker
  • Any subject with atrial fibrillation at the time of obtaining the baseline values
  • Any subject with more than 5 ventricular extra systoles/minute at the time of obtaining the baseline values
  • Any subject who needs invasive blood pressure measurement
Show all 17Show fewer
  • Any subject who show hemodynamics that would have qualified for being considered as a sign of inadequate anesthesia already at baseline:
  • Mean blood pressure below 60 mmHg or above 100 mmHg
  • HR below 45 /min or above 100/min
  • Any subject with epidural anesthesia or analgesia during the surgery. Epidural catheter may be placed pre-operatively, and used in the PACU, but not during the surgery
  • Any subject having surgery that requires prone position
  • Any subject with very high body mass index (>35) because of incompatibility with the target controlled anesthesia models used
  • Any subject with known allergies to the specific anesthetic agents/ analgesic drugs intended for use in their surgeries
  • Any subject with laryngeal mask airway
  • Any subject who requires neuromuscular blocking agent infusion
  • Any subject who is going to have major surgery with a high risk of extensive blood loss
  • Any subject with known chronic use of opioids

About this study

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that using Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) and Entropy in adjunct to other clinical information decreases the occurrence rate of inadequate anesthesia events, bradycardia and hypotension in comparison to standard clinical practice during anesthesia. Adequacy of Anesthesia (AoA) monitoring comprises the use of both Entropy and SPI measurements. Adequacy of anesthesia will be monitored using non-invasive blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), ECG, and neuromuscular transmission (NMT).

AoA Monitoring, Routine (Standard) Anesthesia Monitoring

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AoA Monitoring and Routine (Standard) Anesthesia Monitoring in people with Surgical Procedure, Unspecified, run by GE Healthcare at 4 sites in 4 countries.

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 17 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 1 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Finland, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands. 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?

Incidence of hemodynamic instability (time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of their 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 NCT01928875, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2017.
