About this study

Official title: Does a Sevoflurane Preconditioning Have Cardioprotective Properties in Noncardiac Thoracic Surgery?

It has been shown that the use of volatile anaesthetics, that are usually used to perform a general anesthesia, have cardioprotective properties. This has been shown in animal studies and in patients that underwent cardiac surgery. The aim of our study is to examine if Sevoflurane, a volatile anaesthetic, has this properties in patients undergoing lung surgery.

Being tested
Sevoflurane, TIVA
Keywords
Volatile Anesthetic, Cardioprotection, Lung surgery, non cardiac surgery

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Anaesthesia is induced (1-2 mg/kg) and maintained (5-7 mg/kg/h) with propofol and remifentanil (1 µg/kg and 0,2-0,4 µg/kg/min). After induction of anesthesia the propofol infusion is stopped and patients receive 1 MAC Sevoflurane over 30 min. Then the propofol infusion is restarted and Sevoflurane is washed out.

  • TIVADrug

    Also called Placebo, Controll

    Anaesthesia is induced (1-2 mg/kg) and maintained (5-7 mg/kg/h) with propofol and remifentanil (1 µg/kg and 0,2-0,4 µg/kg/min).

What is being measured

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

  1. Troponin T

    assessing a change in high sensitive Troponin T (5th generation) Level before and at six time points after surgery (right after surgery, every 8 hours up to 40 hours after surgery)

    Measured: change of Troponin T levels preoperative and postoperative up to 40 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane and TIVA in people with High Sensitive Troponin T Release, run by Dr. Horst Schmidt Klinik GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 3 Aug 2016. 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 Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Troponin T (time frame: change of Troponin T levels preoperative and postoperative up to 40 hours after surgery). 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 3 Aug 2016.
