About this study

Official title: Evaluation of an Anesthetic Optimization Technique in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Surgery

The standard anesthetic care plan for people having adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery will be accompanied by a pharmacokinetic simulation of the administered drugs to suggest opportunities to adjust drug doses to achieve tolerable pain control after surgery, avoid respiratory depression and allow patients to respond quickly either during intraoperative testing or at the conclusion of surgery.

Read the detailed description

As part of this study, anesthesiologists will be given additional data on the expected drug effects based on a computer simulation. The data will be provided as a suggestion and will be used together with all the other information normally used to keep the study subjects safely asleep during surgery. In addition, data will be collected from the medical history and on postoperative pain control and medication side effects for the first 24 hours. Specifically, study subjects will be asked to rate their pain on a 10-point scale after they wake up from surgery and once they arrive in the pediatric intensive care unit. Measures of the time from the end of surgery until the study subjects are awake and out of the operating room will also be collected.

What is being measured

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

  1. 4-Item Pain Intensity Measure

    0 - 10 (0=no pain; 10 = pain as bad as can be)

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Respiratory depression

    Respiratory rate less than 10 breaths per minute (bpm), or administration of naloxone.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Utility of pharmacokinetic simulation

    The number of modifications to the anesthetic dosing

    Measured: 4 - 8 hours (Intraoperative period)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pharmacokinetic simulation in people with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Respiratory Depression, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 12 Aug 2019. 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 United States. 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.

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?

4-Item Pain Intensity Measure (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02481570, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Aug 2019.
