About this study
Official title: Comparison of Minimal Fresh Gas Requirements of Baby EAR and Jackson Rees Anesthetic Circuit for General Anesthesia in Spontaneously Breathing Children Undergoing Surgery
The investigators invented the baby enclosed afferent reservoir anesthesia circuit (Baby EAR) which could be used safely in children between 5 and 20 kg, using a fresh gas flow of 2.5 and 3 L/min in the spontaneous breathing and controlled breathing, respectively. There has as yet been no study comparing the minimal fresh gas flow between the Baby EAR and Jackson-Rees anesthesia circuit (JR).
Read the detailed description
After intubation, a caudal block with 0.25% bupivacaine with adrenaline :200,000 0.5 to 1 mL/kg was done. Anesthesia was maintained with a 50% N2O/O2 combination with sevoflurane 1 to 3%, adjusted to ensure a proper anesthetic level to achieve normal vital signs and to keep the end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) <60 mmHg. Fentanyl 1 μg/kg/h was infused during the procedure. All patients were pontaneously ventilated with FGF 500 mL/kg/min at the start of each anesthesia breathing circuit, waiting for the depth of anesthesia to be maintained and the patient to spontaneously breathe for at least 10 minutes. Baseline ETCO2 and imCO2 were then measured. The pulse rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate were recorded every five minutes.
The FGF was reduced by 50 mL/kg/min every five minutes, waiting for the imCO2 to be regularly maintained at least 60 sec. The ETCO2 and imCO2 values were recorded until rebreathing occurred (imCO2 >2 mmHg) and measurements continued until rebreathing was not clinically acceptable (imCO2 >6 mmHg). The minimal FGF before rebreathing occurred (FGF of imCO2 ≤2 mmHg) is the amount of gas that does not cause rebreathing. The minimal FGF for which rebreathing was still acceptable (FGF of imCO2 ≤6 mmHg) is the amount of gas that was clinically acceptable. After switching the anesthesia breathing circuit, the FGF was increased to 500 mL/kg/min for 10 minutes and the procedure was repeated. The minimal FGF before the rebreathing occurred and the FGF at hich rebreathing was still clinically acceptable were recorded. After extubation, all of the patients were observed in the PACU and relevant factors recorded until there was good recovery from anesthesia before sending the patient back to the ward.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2) > 2 mmHg
All patients were spontaneously ventilated with FGF 500 ml/kg/min at the start of each anesthesia breathing circuit then reduced by 50 ml/kg/min every 5 min, waiting for the imCO2 to be regularly maintained at least 60 sec. The imCO2 values were recorded until rebreathing occurred (imCO2 > 2 mmHg)
Measured: 2 hours
Secondary outcomes (1)
inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2) > 6 mmHg
All patients were spontaneously ventilated with FGF 500 ml/kg/min at the start of each anesthesia breathing circuit reduced by 50 ml/kg/min every 5 min, waiting for the imCO2 to be regularly maintained at least 60 sec. The imCO2 values were recorded until rebreathing was not clinically acceptable (imCO2 > 6 mmHg).
Measured: 2 hours

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The investigators invented the baby enclosed afferent reservoir anesthesia circuit (Baby EAR) which could be used safely in children between 5 and 20 kg, using a fresh gas flow of 2.5 and 3 L/min in the spontaneous breathing and controlled breathing, respectively. There has as yet been no study comparing the minimal fresh gas flow between the Baby EAR and Jackson-Rees anesthesia circuit (JR).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Baby EAR in people with Anesthesia, run by Khon Kaen University at 1 site in Thailand.
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 3 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 Apr 2015. 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 Thailand. 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?
inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2) > 2 mmHg (time frame: 2 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 1 Apr 2015.
