About this study

Official title: Prevention of Brad Arrhythmia Induced by Repeated Succinylcholine by Atropine Sulfate During Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Cardiac arrhythmias are a well-recognized complication of anesthesia for laparoscopy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of atropine sulfate for prevention of brad arrhythmia induced by repeated succinylcholine during gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Read the detailed description

120 candidates, ASA 1 in the age range 18-40 years scheduled for elective diagnostic gynecological laparoscopic surgery were randomly assigned into 4 groups to receive either atropine sulfate or normal saline solution (as placebo).

Conditions
Bradycardia
Being tested
IM atropine, IV atropine, Atropine mixed with second dose succinylcholine, IM normal saline, IV normal saline

  • IV atropineDrug

    Also called IV atropine sulphate

    Atropine (0.01 mg/kg) intravenously (10 ml) 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia

  • Atropine mixed with second dose succinylcholineDrug

    Also called atropine sulphate with succinylcholine

    Atropine (0.01 mg/kg) added to the second dose succinylcholine (1mg/kg) prepared to 5 ml syringe with normal saline

  • IM normal salineDrug

    Also called Normal saline

    1 ml normal saline IM 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia

  • IV normal salineDrug

    Also called Normal saline

    IV 10 ml normal saline 3 minutes before induction of anesthesia

  • Normal saline mixed with second dose succinylcholineDrug

    Also called Normal saline with succinylcholine

    Second dose succinylcholine (1 mg/kg) prepared to 5 ml syringe with normal saline

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of bradycardia

    heart rate less than 60 per minutes or decrease more than 30% of baseline reading

    Measured: within the first 2 hours during surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Nasopharyngeal secretion

    suction of Nasopharyngeal secretion (ml) during and after extubation

    Measured: within the first 4 hours during surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IM atropine, IV atropine and Atropine mixed with second dose succinylcholine in people with Bradycardia, 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 27 Sep 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Occurrence of bradycardia (time frame: within the first 2 hours during 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 27 Sep 2016.
