Trial summary

Ischemic preconditioning is defined as protection from cell damage induced by prolonged ischemia by preceding cycles of short ischemia. Hence, ischemic preconditioning could reduce ischemic lesion during clamping a femoral artery for vascular surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Influence of Sevoflurane Preconditioning on Tissue Oxygenation of the Tibial Anterior Muscle Measured by Near-infrared Spectroscopy After Clamping of the Femoral Artery for Vascular Surgery

Ischemic preconditioning is defined as protection from cell damage induced by prolonged ischemia by preceding cycles of short ischemia. Hence, ischemic preconditioning could reduce ischemic lesion during clamping a femoral artery for vascular surgery. In this prospective, randomized pilot study is investigated if clamping of the femoral artery leads to ischemia of the calf measurable by near-infrared spectroscopy. In addition to this, the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on ischemia of the calf is measured.

Read the detailed description

Ischemic preconditioning is performed by clamping of the femoral artery for five minutes in 40 patients. In 20 patients sevoflurane preconditioning is performed five minutes before ischemic preconditioning by inducing sevoflurane anesthesia for five minutes. Muscle tissue oxygenation is measured bilaterally in the anterior tibial muscle by near-infrared spectroscopy (INVOS, SOMANETICS, Troy, Michigan/ USA) during preconditioning and following ischemia.Clinically relevant ischemia was defined as a decrease of tissue oxygen saturation to 95 % of baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane preconditioning in people with Tissue Oxygen Saturation, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein at 1 site in Germany.

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 0 inclusion and 1 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 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

Decrease of tissue oxygen saturation below 95 % of baseline (time frame: 4 hours). 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 NCT02038062, 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 29 Nov 2016.
