About this study

Official title: The Ratio of Hypnotic to Analgesic Potency of Sevoflurane and Desflurane : Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ratio of hypnotic to analgesic potency of sevoflurane and desflurane at equi-minimum alveolar concentration using SPI and EEG analysis.

Read the detailed description

Anesthetic agents vary in their relative hypnotic potency. Recent studies demonstrated that equi-minimum alveolar concentration of various volatile anesthetic agents may produce different spectral entropy or bispectral index values. However, there is no study that demonstrate the difference between analgesic potency of volatile anesthetics. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the ratio of hypnotic to analgesic potency of sevoflurane and desflurane at equi-minimum alveolar concentration using SPI and EEG analysis.

Being tested
Sevoflurane, Desflurane

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called SEVO

    Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in patients undergoing standardized nociceptive stimulus (long-lasting tetanic stimulus of the ulnar nerve; 30 s, 50 mA, 50 Hz, square-wave).

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Also called DES

    Anesthesia was maintained with desflurane in patients undergoing standardized nociceptive stimulus (long-lasting tetanic stimulus of the ulnar nerve; 30 s, 50 mA, 50 Hz, square-wave).

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical pleth index

    The analgesic potency of volatile anesthetics was evaluated by surgical pleth index during standardized nociceptive stimulus (30 s, 50 mA, 50 Hz tetanic stimulation).

    Measured: the 10 min at steady-state anesthesia after endotracheal intubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Bispectral index

    The hypnotic potency of volatile anesthetics was evaluated by bispectral index during standardized nociceptive stimulus (30 s, 50 mA, 50 Hz tetanic stimulation).

    Measured: the 10 min at steady-state anesthesia after endotracheal intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sevoflurane and Desflurane in people with Anesthesia, General, run by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 May 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Surgical pleth index (time frame: the 10 min at steady-state anesthesia after endotracheal intubation). 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 May 2018.
