About this study

Official title: The Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Target Controlled Infusion of Propofol or Etomidate at General Anesthesia in Geriatric Patients --A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Compare the efficacy and safety of closed-loop target controlled infusion of propofol or etomidate at general anesthesia in geriatric patients

Being tested
Remifentanil, Cisatracurium, Sufentanil, Bispectral index(BIS) monitor

What participants receive

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

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Also called Ruijie

    1. Remifentanil 0.1-0.2μg/ ( kg•min) is continuously pumped at steady speed for analgesia for induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
    2. Remifentanil is stopped before skin closure
  • CisatracuriumDrug

    1. Cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg for induction and 0.12 mg/kg/h continuous infusion for maintenance of anesthesia.
    2. Cisatracurium is stopped before skin closure.
  • SufentanilDrug

    Before skin closure, remifentanil is stopped and sufentanyl 0.1μg/kg is given by intravenous injection.

  • Bispectral index(BIS) monitorDevice

    BiS is maintained at 40-60 during anesthesia.

Study groups in NCT02111265
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PropofolExperimentalTarget controlled infusion propofol, the effect compartment concentration is 3-4μg/ ml for induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
Receives: Drug: Remifentanil; Drug: Cisatracurium; Drug: Sufentanil; Device: Bispectral index(BIS) monitor
EtomidateExperimentalTarget controlled infusion etomidate, the effect compartment concentration is 0.5-1.0μg/ ml for induction and maintenance of anesthesia.
Receives: Drug: Remifentanil; Drug: Cisatracurium; Drug: Sufentanil; Device: Bispectral index(BIS) monitor

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect Compartment Concentration

    The effect compartment concentration of etomidate or propofol are recorded at three time points,including time that patient's loss of eyelash reflex,after 30 minutes of loss of eyelash reflex and when the patient is awake (call then open their eyes).

    Measured: From the beginning of induction to paitens'left of PACU, up to 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. vital signs

    Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, pulse oxygen saturation recorded every 5 minutes during the operation.

    Measured: From the beginning of induction to skin closure, up to 3 hours

  2. The amount of drugs

    The amount of narcotics, sedation and muscle relaxation used in general anesthesia arr recorded when the operation is finished.

    Measured: From the beginning of induction to skin closure, up to 3 hours

  3. Adrenal function

    1. 3 ml blood sample is collected at 5 time points including before induction,30 minutes,2 hours,24 hours, 48 hours after induction;
    2. to examine the concentration of Cortisol, Aldosterone and ACTH in serum:

    Measured: From entering the operating room to 48 h after induction of anesthesia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Remifentanil, Cisatracurium and Sufentanil in people with Adrenal Suppression and Hemodynamic Instability, run by Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University.

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 5 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Effect Compartment Concentration (time frame: From the beginning of induction to paitens'left of PACU, up to 4 hours). 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 14 Apr 2014.
