About this study

Official title: Power Spectral Analysis of the Electroencephalogram During Equi-MAC Sevoflurane vs. Desflurane Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare hypnotic effect of sevoflurane and desflurane at equal minimum alveolar concentrations using power spectral analysis of the electroencephalogram.

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 spectral entropy or bispectral index values. However, there were no studies that demonstrate the difference of hypnotic potency using power spectral analysis of electroencephalographic signals (e.g., spectral edge frequency 95%, total power, % value of each bandage). The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare hypnotic effect of sevoflurane and desflurane at equal minimum alveolar concentrations using power spectral analysis of the electroencephalogram.

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Also called SEVO

    Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery under general anesthesia. End-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was maintained at age-corrected 1 minimum alveolar concentration throughout the study period.

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Also called DES

    Anesthesia was maintained with desflurane in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery under general anesthesia. End-tidal concentration of desflurane was maintained at age-corrected 1 minimum alveolar concentration throughout the study period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Spectral edge frequency 95% value

    EEG variables were measured after meeting steady-state anesthesia of 1 MAC.

    Measured: During about 30 min study period

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Bispectral index

    Bispectral index measurements were made after meeting steady-state anesthesia of 1 MAC.

    Measured: During about 30 min study period

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 3 Sep 2020. 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?

Spectral edge frequency 95% value (time frame: During about 30 min study period). 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 3 Sep 2020.
