About this study

Official title: The Effect of Anaesthesia Depth on Oculo-cardiac Reflex in Strabismus Surgery

This study was designed to determine the effect of the depth of anesthesia on the oculocardiac reflex (OCR) during pediatric strabismus surgery.

Read the detailed description

The oculo-cardiac reflex (OCR) is a trigeminovagal reflex which is started by the stimulus on the extra-ocular muscle and may lead to serious bradycardia or arrhythmia in the patients during strabismus surgery. It is presumed that the depth of anesthesia is one of the influencing factor on the OCR. But the clinical trials which are evaluating the relationship between the anesthesia depth and OCR are scarce. The main objective of this study is to determine the impact of the depth of anaesthesia that is adjusted with the bispectral index (BIS) monitor on the incidence of OCR in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Desflurane will be used to maintain the anesthesia and the dose of desflurane will be adjusted according to the Bispectral İndex Monitoring

  • Bispectral index monitoringDevice

    Also called BIS

    Bispectral index monitoring (BIS XP, A-2000, VERSİON 3.31, Aspect Medical Systems, Newton, Mass, USA)will be used to determine the depth of anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. The effect of the anaesthesia depth on the incidence of oculocardiac reflex

    Measured: during the traction of the extra-ocular muscle in the strabismus surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The incidence of the oculocardiac reflex depending the type of operated extra-ocular muscle during the strabismus surgery

    Measured: during the traction of the extra-ocular muscle in the strabismus surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Desflurane and Bispectral index monitoring in people with Strabismus and Anesthesia, General, run by Tokat Gaziosmanpasa University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 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 28 May 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

The effect of the anaesthesia depth on the incidence of oculocardiac reflex (time frame: during the traction of the extra-ocular muscle in the strabismus 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 28 May 2015.
