About this study

Official title: Completely Automated Robotic Pharmacological Anesthesia System for Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Surgery: a Pilot Study

Closed loop systems for anaesthesia have been shown to be more efficient than manual administration and than Target Control Infusion systems (TCI). So far, there is only one single-center study demonstrating that a system using simultaneously three closed loops for each component of anaesthesia (hypnosis, analgesia and muscle relaxation) is possible, safe and is more efficient than manual administration of anaesthetic drugs. Although the results of this study are very encouraging, they are limited by its sample of patients recruited for non-cardiac surgery only.

The hypothesis of the present trial is that cardiac anesthesia using a completely automated anesthesia delivery system, encompassing each components of anesthesia (hypnosis, analgesia and muscle relaxation) is feasible, safe and reliable.

Thus, the objective of the present trial is to test this pharmacologic anesthesia robot on patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgical procedures with extracorporeal circulation.

Hypnosis is monitored during the surgery according to the brain activity values provided by an objective monitoring parameter, called Bispectral Index (BIS).

A BIS target of 45 is aimed trough the surgery. Performance of propofol hypnosis will be determined clinically by recording the % of sedation time during which the actual BIS is within 10% of the target BIS (excellent control), within 11 -20% (good control), between 21-30% (fair control) and beyond 30% of target (inadequate control).

What is being measured

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

  1. Performance of closed-loop system for propofol administration defined as the efficacy to maintain Bispectral Index (BIS) as close to the target of 45 as possible.

    Hypnosis is monitored during the surgery according to the brain activity values provided by an objective monitoring parameter, called Bispectral Index (BIS).

    Measured: at inclusion (day 0)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgery, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 18 Dec 2014. 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 France. 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?

Performance of closed-loop system for propofol administration defined as the efficacy to maintain Bispectral Index (BIS) as close to the target of 45 as possible. (time frame: at inclusion (day 0)). 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 18 Dec 2014.
