Trial summary

The new MIRUS system as well as the established AnaConDa system uses a reflector to conserve volatile anaesthetics (VA). Both systems act with commercially available ICU ventilators. In contrast to AnaConDa the MIRUS includes an automated control of end-tidal VA concentrations. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Automated Control of End-tidal Volatile Anesthetic Concentration Using the MIRUS System: A Comparison of Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and Desflurane in Anesthesia.

The new MIRUS system as well as the established AnaConDa system uses a reflector to conserve volatile anaesthetics (VA). Both systems act with commercially available ICU ventilators. In contrast to AnaConDa the MIRUS includes an automated control of end-tidal VA concentrations. In this study the investigators compared feasibility, costs and recovery times after anaesthesia with isoflurane (ISO), sevoflurane (SEVO) or desflurane (DES) in ventilated and spontaneously breathing patients.

Read the detailed description

The study was approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board. After written informed consent 63 ASA I-III patients undergoing elective hip or knee replacement surgery under general anesthesia were included. Patients were randomly organized into 3 groups (20-22 each). Anesthesia was induced with intravenous anaesthetics. After tracheal intubation MIRUS automatically adjusted the end-tidal VA concentration to 1.0 MAC. Patients were ventilated with the Puritan Bennett 840 ICU ventilator. After 1 h of anaesthesia with 1.0 MAC the ventilator mode was switched from SIMV V+ (totally controlled ventilation, "passive patient", with a tidal volume of 8 ml/IBW) to proportional assist ventilation (PAV) with 50% support ("active patient"). At the end of surgery the MIRUS system was stopped (MAC set to 0.0) and recovery times were measured.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Desflurane, Sevoflurane and Isoflurane in people with Delayed Recovery From Anesthesia, run by Ruhr University of Bochum.

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 7 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 21 Jan 2015. 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.

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?

volatile anaesthetics (VA) consumption (time frame: duration of anesthesia: max. 3 h). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02342509, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Jan 2015.
