About this study

Official title: The Comparison of Analgesic Effect of Volatile Anesthetics Using Surgical Pleth Index

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare analgesic effect of sevoflurane and desflurane at equal minimum alveolar concentrations using surgical pleth index.

Read the detailed description

Volatile anesthetics vary in their relative hypnotic potency. Recent studies demonstrated that equi-minimum alveolar concentration of various volatile anesthetic agents may produce different bispectral index values. However, the difference between analgesic effects of volatile anesthetics have not yet been investigated. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare analgesic effect of sevoflurane and desflurane at equal minimum alveolar concentrations using surgical pleth index-guided remifentanil infusion.

Conditions
Anesthesia
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

    End-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was maintained at age-corrected 1 minimum alveolar concentration throughout the study period. The remifentanil infusion rate was adjusted using TCI pump to achieve surgical pleth index between 20 and 50.

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Also called DES

    End-tidal concentration of desflurane was maintained at age-corrected 1 minimum alveolar concentration throughout the study period. The remifentanil infusion rate was adjusted using TCI pump to achieve surgical pleth index between 20 and 50.

What is being measured

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

  1. Remifentanil consumption (µg/kg/min)

    Measured: During the intraoperative period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Target effective site concentration of remifentanil (ng/ml)

    Measured: After at least 10 min of stable surgical pleth index values

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sevoflurane and Desflurane in people with Anesthesia, 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 15 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?

Remifentanil consumption (µg/kg/min) (time frame: During the intraoperative period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02830243, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 May 2018.
