About this study

Official title: Atropine in Laparoscopic Gynaecological Surgery (The ALGOS Trial) A Randomised, Double Blind, Controlled Trial

This is a double blinded, randomised controlled trial that will compare atropine to placebo for postoperative pain in laparoscopic gynaecological surgery

Read the detailed description

Patients that meet eligibility criteria will receive a standardised general anesthesia based on sevoflurane and opioids and will be randomised in two groups, using computer generated randomisation system. Allocation concealment is established on opaque envelopes that contain random allocation.

Anesthesia depth will be measured by Bispectral index (BIS), titration of sevoflurane to a BIS of 45-60. In case of neuromuscular block reversal at the end of surgery, sugammadex will be administered.

At induction, 1 mg IV atropine 0.1% OR 10ml saline will be administered, depending on group allocation, on a syringe prepared by an anaesthesiologist not involved in the study.

Patients will receive ketorolac 30 mg/8h, acetaminophen 1g/8h and a morphine IV patient controlled anaesthesia pump (PCA) 0-1-8 Outcomes will be evaluated at the postoperative care unit (PACU) and 24 postoperative hours by an investigator blinded to study group

What participants receive

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

  • AtropineDrug

    IV atropine 0.1%, 10 ml

  • PlaceboDrug

    IV saline, 10 ml

  • SevofluraneDrug

    All patients will receive anaesthesia based on sevoflurane, titrated to a bis of 45-60

  • sugammadexDrug

    Patients will receive sugamadex for neuromuscular reversion, if necessary

  • KetorolacDrug

    60 mg IV ketorolac will be administered at induction, and patients will receive 30mg/8h on the postoperative period

  • Morphine PCADrug

    Patients will receive a PCA of morphine with a program of 0 (continuous infusion), 1 mg bolus and 8 minutes lockout

  • rocuroniumDrug

    general anaesthesia will use rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg to facilitate intubation

  • propofolDrug

    for anaesthesia induction, patients will receive 2-3 mg/kg iv propofol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Atropine, Sevoflurane and sugammadex in people with Laparoscopic Surgery and Gynecology, run by Clinica Santa Maria at 1 site in Chile.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 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 Chile. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

24 hours morphine consumption (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 11 May 2016.
