About this study

The objective of the ANESPEDIA study is to describe in a pediatric population (aged from 4 to 8 years old) receiving elective surgery, the impact of general anesthesia on autonomic nervous system and their kinetics of early postoperative course (24 hours).

Read the detailed description

Some physiological factors such as sport activity or pathological as sepsis, certain chronic diseases or diabetes are known to modulate the overall autonomic activity and the intrinsic capacity of the individual to regulate its sympathovagal balance. These influences can alter the physiological autonomic balance sometimes with positive consequences on the Cardiac frequency-breathing control, blood pressure adjustment depending on the position of the individual, on the status of blood volume, but sometimes deleterious with bad regulation of sinus cardiac activity and respiration rate.

General anesthesia is recognized as one of the factors that can modify more or less sustainable the sympathovagal autonomic balance. While many studies described the effects of anesthesia on the autonomic nervous system, most data are done in adult subjects. For the child who sees intrinsically autonomic physiological changes related to its maturative status, assessment of the impact of anesthesia in the pediatric population in per and postoperative was never realized.

What participants receive

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

  • Autonomic nervous system activityDevice

    Autonomic nervous system activity (parasympathetic activity) will be measured by electrocardiogram (holter) during 24 hours postoperative

Pediatric population from 4 to 8 years-oldDescription of the Autonomic nervous system activity (parasympathetic activity)
Receives: Device: Autonomic nervous system activity

What is being measured

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

  1. Description of parasympathetic activity evolution by heart rate variability

    Parasympathetic activity evolution will be described by heart rate variability

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Heart rate variability (HRV)

    HRV is measured by a 24H-Holter Electrocardiography (ECG). It is a composite outcome : SDNN, pNN30, pNN50, RMSSD, SD1, SD2, LF, VLF, LF/HF ratio and Ptot indexes

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Heart rate variability (HRV)

    HRV is measured by a 24H-Holter Electrocardiography (ECG). It is a composite outcome : HF, SDNN, pNN30, pNN50, RMSSD, SD1, SD2, LF, VLF, LF/HF ratio and Ptot indexes

    Measured: at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 Hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia, General, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 21 Mar 2017. 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 France. 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.

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?

Description of parasympathetic activity evolution by heart rate variability (time frame: 24 hours). 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 21 Mar 2017.
