Trial summary

Low flow anesthesia (LFA) is used less than desirable, partly because one has considered that there might be danger of underdosing of anesthesia gas and thus risk of awareness under anesthesia.LFA has several advantages such as reducing loss of moisture and heat in the inhaled air under anesthesia and to reduce the… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparing Gas Consumption With Conventional Low Flow Ventilation and Gas Control Systems From Two Different Anesthesia Machines: Flow-i and Aisys

Low flow anesthesia (LFA) is used less than desirable, partly because one has considered that there might be danger of underdosing of anesthesia gas and thus risk of awareness under anesthesia.LFA has several advantages such as reducing loss of moisture and heat in the inhaled air under anesthesia and to reduce the consumption of anesthetic gas. A few anesthesia machines include an automatic gas control system: the Aisys machine, by GE Healthcare (Madison, WI, USA), and the Flow-i machine, by Maquet (Sweden).

Since these machines were introduced, only a few studies have reported their functionality and effect on gas consumption. 20 to 55% reduction of gas consumption was found. The potential reduction may have been underestimated because in the majority of cases a FGF higher than 1 l/min was still used.

In this study the consumption of anesthetic gas (desflurane) delivered by two different anesthesia machines (Aisys and Flow-i) will be compared, with and without gas control delivery systems. Gas consumption and the time needed to reach the target level of anesthetic gas concentration will be assessed. Data needed will be collected directly from the anesthesia machine, PICIS ( Electronic anesthesia record) and EPJ (Electronic patient journal). The results of this study are of interest for intraoperative ventilation and of economic and ecological interest

Study groups in NCT02774031
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Aisys with Et controlExperimentalthe ventilation modus will be pressure control ventilation with volume guarantee (PCV-VG). Settings: tidal volume (TV) 7-9 ml/kg BW, respiratory rate (RR) 12 -14/min, and 8-10 cmH2O positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). Target for end expired desflurane concentration (F A des) is set to 4.2%, and target for end expired oxygen (F AO2) is set to 35%.
Receives: Device: Aisys with Et control
Aisys conventional ventilationActive comparator50% oxygen and 50% air in 1 liter FGF will be administered. To be started with a FGF of 5l/min and vaporizer setting at 6 Vol% for 5 min. Then the FGF will be reduced to 1 l/min. 25 min later the vaporizer setting will be reduced to 5.5 Vol % for the rest of the study period. Ventilation modus for this group will be the same as for 'Aisys with PCV-VG'
Receives: Device: Aisys conventional
Flow-i with ACGExperimentalthe following parameters will be preset: FIO2= 40%; end expired gas concentration (FA des) to 4.2%; speed 6; and ventilation modus = pressure regulated volume control (PRVC) with tidal volume (TV) 7-9 ml/kg BW, respiratory rate (RR)12-14/min, and 8-10 cmH2O positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP).
Receives: Device: Flow-i with ACG

Then the FGF will be reduced to 1 l/min. 25 min later the vaporizer setting will be reduced to 5.5 Vol % for the rest of the study period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aisys conventional, Flow-i with ACG and Flow-i conventional in people with Male Urogenital Diseases and Female Urogenital Diseases, run by St. Olavs Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 6 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 13 Nov 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 Norway. 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?

gas consumption in ml/hr (time frame: 1 hour). 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 13 Nov 2017.
