What participants receive

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

  • etomidateDrug

    1. intravenous injection midazolam 0.08 mg/kg, fentanyl 0.002 mg/kg, cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg for induction of anesthesia.
    2. infusion of etomidate at 2 minutes before anesthesia induction
  • propofolDrug

    1. intravenous injection midazolam 0.08 mg/kg, fentanyl 0.002 mg/kg, cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg for induction of anesthesia.
    2. infusion of propofol at 2 minutes before anesthesia induction
  • sevofluraneDrug

    1. intravenous injection midazolam 0.08 mg/kg, fentanyl 0.002 mg/kg, cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg for induction of anesthesia.
    2. inhale sevoflurane for anesthesia induction and maintenance

What is being measured

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

  1. the amount of drugs

    the amount of etomidate,propofol and sevoflurane used in anesthesia induction

    Measured: from the beginning of induction to Bispectral Index < 50,up to 5 minutes

  2. the drugs used time

    the injection time of etomidate and propofol, and the inhale time of sevoflurane during anesthesia induction

    Measured: from the beginning of induction to Bispectral Index < 50,expected to be within 1 minute

  3. numbers of muscular fibrillation

    numbers of muscular fibrillation in anesthesia induction

    Measured: from the beginning of induction to Bispectral Index < 50,up to 5 minutes

  4. degree of inflammation reaction

    serum levels of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α will be measured at each time point using ELISA method

    Measured: baseline,5 minutes after indution,5 minutes before operation end,30 mimutes、24h and 48h after operation

  5. adrenal function

    serum level of cortisol will be measured at each time point using radioimmunoassay

    Measured: baseline,5 minutes after indution,5 minutes before operation end,30 mimutes、24h and 48h after operation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. hemodynamic parameters

    heart rate,blood pressure,electrocardiogram and pulse oxygen saturation recorded at 4 time points including before anesthesia induction,before endotracheal intubation,after endotracheal intubation and after operation immediately

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

  2. sedation degree

    Bispectral index,train-of-four stimulation and the temperature recorded at 4 time points including before anesthesia induction,before endotracheal intubation,after endotracheal intubation and after operation immediately

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing etomidate, propofol and sevoflurane in people with Bispectral Index and Pediatric, run by Henan Provincial People's Hospital.

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 9 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 8 Jul 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?

Contact Enqiang Chang (clinicaltriallh@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the amount of drugs (time frame: from the beginning of induction to Bispectral Index < 50,up to 5 minutes). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jul 2014.
