About this study

Official title: Endotracheal Intubation With Sevoflurane in Surgical Pediatric Patients: Incremental Versus High Concentration Inhalation Induction

Aim of the study is to compare the optimal time needed for successful tracheal intubation with immediate 8% sevoflurane and incremental sevoflurane induction in surgical pediatric patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy without using muscle relaxants or opioids

Read the detailed description

Investigators studied 100 pediatric surgical patients admitted to Sulaimani Teaching Hospital in the Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgical Department, from the first of June 2011 to the first of September 2011, Children aged 2-7 years,both genders, ASA physical statuses І and II (ASA I: a healthy normal patient, while ASA II: a patient with mild systemic disease with no functional limitations) were scheduled for elective adenotonsillectomy operations. They were randomly divided into two equal groups according to the induction method.

Group 1 (G1) using incremental induction with sevoflurane (1-8 %) in 100% O2, the vapor concentration is increased by 1% every few breaths.

Group 2 (G2) high concentration of sevoflurane (8%) in 100% O2 from the beginning of induction.

None of them is given premedication or any other adjunct drugs until successful intubation is done; ventilation was assisted and then controlled when possible. If upper airway obstruction occurred, an oropharyngeal airway was immediately inserted. Attempts were made to obtain venous access before laryngoscopy. All patients monitored with electrocardiography (ECG), noninvasive blood pressure monitoring (NIBP), pulse oximetry, and temperature measurements.

Children with extreme weight, suspicion of difficult airway, moved during laryngoscopy, or more than one trial of laryngoscopy needed were excluded from this study.

The endotracheal tube (ETT) size was selected by using the formula (age/4) + 4.5. Only a single laryngoscopy attempt was allowed. Small, brief movements of extremities occurring after (ETT) placement did not considered as exclusion criteria. Anesthesia was delivered by anesthetic machine (Datex Ohmeda), using an Ayer's T-piece with Jackson Ree's modification system, with a fresh gas flow of 6 L/min through a Sevoflurane vaporizer.

Patients were observed until eyelash reflex disappears, pupils centered and constricted. Jaw relaxation and movements were monitored. Ventilation was controlled till the time of laryngoscopy; the vocal cords were completely visible, orotracheal intubation done with Macintosh laryngoscope blade size 2 by the same anesthetist for all the patients. The time from induction until successful tracheal intubation is recorded.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 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?

induction to intubation time in seconds (time frame: during the surgery). 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 NCT02429323, which also lists 11 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 29 Apr 2015.
