About this study

Official title: A Comparison of Post-operative Recovery Between Remifentanil-propofol and Remifentanil-desflurane Anesthesia Guided by Bispectral Index Monitoring

Bispectral monitoring anesthesia with remifentanil-desflurane has a better post-operative recovery than remifentanil-propofol.

Read the detailed description

It is a randomized, double blind study, involving 40 adult female patients submitted to general anesthesia. The patients were distributed into 2 groups: remifentanil-propofol-based anesthesia and remifentanil-desflurane-based anesthesia groups. Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring guided the anesthesia by setting target BIS range value between 40 and 60. Anesthetics were adjusted to reached that. Primary outcome was: extubation time (time from anesthetic discontinuation to endotracheal tube cuff). Secondary measured outcomes: intra-operative cardiovascular drug use; time to follow command before extubation; protective airway reflex recovery time after extubation. Protective airway reflex test recovery was performed at predetermined time intervals (2, 6, 14, 22 and 30 minutes) from the time to follow a standard command until the first demonstrated ability to swallow 20 ml of water in an upright position.Post-anesthesia care unit recovery data were also recorded: Ramsay sedation scale; vital signs, post-operative pain; morphine consumption.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Desflurane and Propofol in people with Delayed Emergence From Anesthesia, run by Federal University of Minas Gerais.

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 11 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 25 Aug 2020. 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Extubation Time (time frame: Time from anesthetic discontinuation to endotracheal tube cuff deflation). 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 NCT02631525, which also lists 4 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 25 Aug 2020.
