About this study

Official title: Incidence of Early Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction After Closed Loop Anesthesia vs Inhalational Anesthesia or TIVA

This study is designed to test the hypothesis that closed loop system reduces post operative cognitive dysfunction incidence 15 min after anesthesia more than desflurane, sevorane, total intravenous anesthesia manually guided by bispectral index in urologic surgical patients.

The secondary aim is to evaluate the postoperative cognitive impairment in in elderly vs younger surgical patients.

Read the detailed description

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a transient cognitive impairment manifested by compromised memory and concentration with altered performance on intellectual tasks that can affect patients of any age but it is more frequent in advanced age people after anesthesia.

Recently clinical research has demonstrated the efficacy of computer- controlled endovenous drug delivery system guided by bispectral index score (BIS) of the electroencephalogram as the control variable. The BIS closed loop (CL) titration of propofol and remifentanyl target control infusion provides clinically adequate anesthesia with stability of cardiovascular parameters and favorable patients outcomes, including decreasing drug consumption and shortened postoperative recovery times when compared with manual control infusion.

Being tested
auto total endovenous anesthesia, Manual Desflurane anesthesia, Manual Sevoflurane anesthesia, Manual total endovenous anesthesia

What participants receive

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

  • auto total endovenous anesthesiaDevice

    Also called AutoTIVA

    a closed-loop controller guided by the BIS steering the infusion pumps (Alaris Medical UK Ldt, Hants, Uk) as already approved by ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00392158

  • Manual Desflurane anesthesiaDevice

    Also called DES

    General anesthesia will be maintained with desflurane (Baxter D-Vapor Desflurane Vaporiser) to obtain a BIS value as close as possible to 50 and between 40

  • Manual Sevoflurane anesthesiaDevice

    Also called SEVO

    General anesthesia will be maintained with sevoflurane ( Baxter Vapour 2000 Sevoflurane Vapouriser) to obtain a BIS value as close as possible to 50 and between 40 and 60.

  • Manual total endovenous anesthesiaDevice

    Also called Manual TIVA

    In ManualTIVA group, the anesthesia will be maintained with propofol (Injectomat TIVA Agilia, Fresenius Kabi, Bad Hamburg, Germany) to obtain a BIS value as close as possible to 50 and between 40 and 60.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline of the Mini-Mental test examination score 15 min post anesthesia

    The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) test will be given 15 min before the anesthetic procedure and 15 min after the end of anesthesia.

    Measured: 15 minutes before anesthetic procedures and 15 min after the end of general anesthesia

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline of the Mini-Mental test examination score 15 min post anesthesia (time frame: 15 minutes before anesthetic procedures and 15 min after the end of general anesthesia). 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 NCT02656901, 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.
