About this study

The quality of induction with sevoflurane, along with its ability to generate optimal conditions for Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) insertion without supplemental opioids or muscle relaxants, has also been well documented. An ideal inhalation induction technique besides being rapid and comfortable for the patient should be economical. To achieve rapidity, use of vital capacity breaths with 8% sevoflurane is a more popular method of induction compared with the conventional incremental induction.

Read the detailed description

100 pediatric patients (age range, 1 to 8 years) scheduled for lower abdominal surgery under anesthesia will be included. All children in both groups will be premedicated with midazolam, 0.5 mg/kg orally, about 30 minutes before the induction of anesthesia. A parent or guardian accompanied the child into the operating room to allow the child to remain calm and cooperative for inhalation induction. Before induction, pulse oximetry and electrocardiogram monitoring will be attached. For each group, inhalation induction was initiated using a face mask using "tidal volume" and "vital capacity" breathing in high sevoflurane concentration (8%).

What participants receive

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

  • supine positionProcedure or surgery

    Anesthesia induction with sevoflurane for the patient while he is in supine position.

  • Right lateral positionProcedure or surgery

    Anesthesia induction with sevoflurane for the patient while he is in right lateral position.

What is being measured

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

  1. Induction time

    The time from starting induction of anesthesia until successful insertion of the LMA (seconds)

    Measured: an expected 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. LMA trials (Number of patients in each group required insertion of an LMA more than once)

    Number of patients in each group required insertion of an LMA more than once

    Measured: an expected 60 minutes

  2. Blood pressure

    Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure "mm Hg"

    Measured: Duration of from starting induction of anesthesia till LMA an expected average of 60 minutes

  3. Heart rate

    Heart rate "beats per minute"

    Measured: Duration of from starting induction of anesthesia till LMA an expected average of 60 minutes

  4. Oxygen saturation

    Oxygen saturation %

    Measured: Duration of from starting induction of anesthesia till LMA an expected average of 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing supine position and Right lateral position in people with Anesthesia, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 8 Nov 2016. 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 time (time frame: an expected 30 minutes). 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 8 Nov 2016.
