Trial summary

There is accumulating evidence that inappropriate analgesia is asssociated with increasing risk of perioperative complications. The aim of the study is to compare intraoperative analgesia guided according to different methods of intraoperative analgesia monitoring, ANI and SPI respectively. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ANI and SPI Guided Intraoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Neurosurgical Procedures Under General Anaesthesia

There is accumulating evidence that inappropriate analgesia is asssociated with increasing risk of perioperative complications. The aim of the study is to compare intraoperative analgesia guided according to different methods of intraoperative analgesia monitoring, ANI and SPI respectively.

Read the detailed description

The Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) and ANI (Analgesia Nociception Index) has been developed for monitoring of adequacy of analgesia during surgery.

The investigators want to compare anesthesiologist guided intraoperative analgesia with intraoperative analgesia guieded by ANI or SPI.

The following hypotheses have been made:

  1. Anesthesiologist guided analgesia will result in lower surgical stress
  2. Anesthesiologist guided analgesia will result in more hemodynamic stability and faster recovery of the patient after anesthesia
Conditions
Anesthesia
Being tested
Sufentanil SPI analgesia, Sufentanil ANI analgesia, Sufentanil anesthesiologist analgesia
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Sufentanil SPI analgesiaDrug

    Also called Sufentanil, SPI

    Sufentanil is given based on SPI value in the SPI guided analgesia group. The targer SPI range is set indiviudally based on the initial value of SPI recorded 5 minutes after the induction of anesthesia plus 10 points. In the ANI group, Sufentanil is given based on the ANI value, the target ANI range is 50 - 70. Values lower than 49 for 1 minute indicate the need of administering further dose of opioid, sufentanil is given in the same dose as initially. In the anesthesiologist guided analgesia group, Sufentanil is administered in a standardized manner.

  • Sufentanil ANI analgesiaDrug

    Also called Sufentanil, ANI

    Sufentanil is given based on ANI analgesia monitor figures in the sufentanil ANI analgesia group. Targeted ANI range is 50 - 70. Figures lower than 49 for 1 minute indicate the need of administering further dose of opioid, sufentanil is given in the same dose as initially and flushed with 20 ml of saline. The next dose of opioid can be given in the earliest after 3 minutes interval, if indicated according to ANI monitoring. The doses are repeated up to achievement of the targeted range of analgesia (ANI). The last dose of opioid can be given no later than 15 minutes before the end of surgery.

  • Sufentanil anesthesiologist analgesiaDrug

    Also called Sufentanil, anesthesiologist

    Sufentanil is given based on the anesthesiologist decision in the sufentanil anesthesiologist analgesia group. Sufentanil is administered in 20 minute intervals in a standardized manner, the same dose as initially is given and flushed with 20 ml of saline. Indication for additional administration of opioid beyond this interval is 25 % increase of systemic arterial pressure over the baseline and/or 35% increase of heart rate over the baseline. The next dose of opioid can be given in the earliest after 3 minutes interval. The doses are repeated up to achievement of the haemodynamic stability. The last dose of opioid can be given no later than 15 minutes before the end of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sufentanil SPI analgesia, Sufentanil ANI analgesia and Sufentanil anesthesiologist analgesia in people with Anesthesia, run by University Hospital Hradec Kralove at 1 site in Czechia.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 1 Oct 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 Czechia. 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?

Cortisol serum level (time frame: End of 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 1 Oct 2019.
