About this study

Official title: The Effect of 0.6 vs. 1.2 Milligram Atropine Together With Neostigmine 2.5 Milligram on Heart Rate in Patient Receiving Muscle Relaxant During General Anesthesia

Balanced general anesthesia with neuromuscular blocking agents has been widely used for surgery.. At the end of surgery, neostigmine has been given for the reversal of neuromuscular blocking agents with several adverse effects such as bradycardia and profuse secretion. Atropine has been used to prevent those side effects of neostigmine. The routine dosages of the two drugs are 2.5 mg of neostigmine and 1.2 mg of atropine.

Tribuddharat S ey al. (1) has demonstrated that after giving 0.9 mg atropine together with 2.5 mg of neostigmine the mean heart rate during 1-8 minutes after the administration was increase 2-26 beats/min (bpm). At 9 and 10 minutes after administration of the drugs, the mean heart rate were decrease 0.9 and 1.6 bpm In the control group which receiving 1.2 mg of atropine, the mean heart rate during 1-10 minutes after administration was increase 4-32 bpm. However this study did not report the incidence of bradycardia and blood pressure. The mean heart rate prior to atropine and neostigmine was 74.43 + 11.82 bpm.(1)

Salem MG et al. (2) has demonstrated that after receiving 1.2 mg of atropine and 5 mg of neostigmine the mean heart rate during 2-110 minutes was decrease 5-29 bpm with the lowest heart rate at 40 minutes after administration. This study also did not report the blood pressure.

The baseline heart rate (HR) before administration of the reversal was associated with the following heart rate. Heinonen J et al. (3) has demonstrated that 80% of the patients after receiving 0.015 mg/kg of atropine 3 minutes before 0.03 mg of neostigmine for the reversal of pancuronium experienced bradycardia (heart rate < 50 bpm) compared with none in patients receiving alcuronium. However, before administration of atropine and neostigmine, the mean heart rate of patients was significantly lower in the pancuronium group.

Either tachycardia or bradycardia with hypotension causes adverse affect to patient especially in specific group like patient with coronary artery disease or undergoing craniotomy.

The primary objective of our study is to demonstrate the effect on heart rate (HR) and blood pressure of 0.6 mg atropine and 2.5 mg neostigmine for the reversal of muscle relaxant compare to 1.2 mg atropine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atropine 0.6 mg and Atropine 1.2 mg in people with Bradycardia and Neostigmine Adverse Reaction, run by Mahidol 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 10 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?

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?

heart rate (time frame: 24 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 10 Jul 2014.
