About this study

Official title: The Effect of Deep Neuromuscular Block on Cytokines Release and Postoperative Delirium of Elderly Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty

The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between the degree of neuromuscular block, the release of cytokines and clinical outcomes in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Investigators hypothesize that deep neuromuscular blockade decreases the release of cytokine and the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, compared with moderate neuromuscular blockade.

Read the detailed description
  • Study design
  • This is a prospective, randomized, single blinded study.
  • Measurement values
  • Neuromuscular monitoring by post-tetanic count (PTC) during operation
  • Regional cerebral oxygen saturation monitoring

  • Cardiac index (CI), using non-invasive cardiac output monitor
  • IL-1ß, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10 and CRP
  • Arterial blood gas analysis (ABGA)
  • Laboratory values [Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, serum albumin, creatinine, CPK, LDH]
  • Postoperative pain, using visual analogue scale (VAS)
  • Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)
  • Total infused amounts of drugs
  • Total anesthesia duration, intubation duration and operation duration
  • Intubation duration, operation duration
  • Incidence of postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admission
  • Total ICU staying duration, if patients admit to ICU
  • Preoperative and postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction change
  • Incidence of hypotension (mean blood pressure lesser than 60 mmHg)
  • Incidence of postoperative delirium using confusion assessment method (CAM) intensive care unit (ICU)
  • Total amount of blood products transfusion (paced red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma, platelet concentration, cryoprecipitate)
  • Total amount of crystalloids and colloids infusion
  • Total amount urine output

What participants receive

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

  • Moderate neuromuscular blockadeOther

    Also called Esmeron

    TOF count is maintained to 1 to 2 by intermittent intravenous injection of rocuronium bromide 5 mg during operation

  • Deep neuromuscular blockadeOther

    Also called Esmeron

    PTC is maintained to 1 to 2 degree by continuous infusion of rocuronium bromide intravenous route

What is being measured

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

  1. Interleukin 6

    Measured: postoperative 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. postoperative delirium

    The incidence of postoperative delirium will be assessed by using confusion assessment method (CAM)

    Measured: up to postoperative day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Moderate neuromuscular blockade and Deep neuromuscular blockade in people with Hip Fractures, run by Konkuk University Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 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 20 Jun 2018. 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 South Korea. 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?

Interleukin 6 (time frame: postoperative 4 hours). 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 NCT02507609, 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 20 Jun 2018.
