About this study

Official title: Use of Bispectral Index to Guide Intubation During Sevoflurane Anesthesia in Children

This prospective study aimed to determine the minimal level of Bispectral index needed for quality laryngoscopy before ear, nose and throat surgery in children.

Read the detailed description
  • Children will received intra-rectal premedication based on midazolam 0.4mg
  • Children will be monitored according to standard guidelines
  • One blinded anesthesiologist will be in charge of anesthesia induction and the other one will be in charge of data collection (end tidal sevoflurane concentration, sevoflurane minimal alveolar concentration, bispectral index) and guidance of induction according to the predetermined bispectral index (up and down allocation)
Conditions
Anesthesia
Being tested
Sevoflurane

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    After at least 4 minutes of stable inspired sevoflurane concentration, that concentration will be titrated to obtain a targeted bispectral index (BIS) level required for perform laryngoscopy. This level was initially set at 40, based on a preliminary study showing that such level of BIS was obtained at the laryngoscopy after common general anesthesia induction. For the next patients, BIS target was set according to a sequential allocation method (up and down).

What is being measured

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

  1. laryngeal conditions of intubation

    specific conditions will be assessed and scored : jaw relaxation, vocal cord position, cough at intubation

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane in people with Anesthesia, run by University of Liege.

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 3 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 29 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

laryngeal conditions of intubation (time frame: 5 minutes). 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 29 Jun 2016.
