About this study

Official title: Predicted EC95 of Effect-site Concentration of Remifentanil for Preventing Cough After Laryngomicrosurgery From Propofol Anesthesia

The investigator designed this study to investigate remifentanil effect-site concentration in 95% of patients (EC95) for preventing cough after laryngomicrosurgery from propofol anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

At the end of the surgery, propofol infusion was stopped and remifentanil was titrated to predetermined (initial concentration 1.0 ng/ml for the first patient). Extubation was performed when the patients opened their eyes and spontaneous respiration and adequate tidal volume and ventilatory frequency were confirmed.

What participants receive

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

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Also called Ultiva

    The concentration of remifentanil was determined by biased-coin up and down design, starting from 1.0 ng/ml (0.4 ng/ml as a step size)

  • Propofol anesthesiaDrug

    Also called Fresofol

    Anesthesia was induced with propofol target-controlled infusion at an effect-site concentration of 5.0 μg/ml.

RemifentanilExperimentalExtubation was performed when remifentanil was maintained a predetermined concentration throughout the emergence periods.
Receives: Drug: Remifentanil; Drug: Propofol anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of cough

    Number of cough or a strong and sudden contraction of the abdomen during periextubation periods

    Measured: from end of surgery to 5 min after tracheal extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Remifentanil and Propofol anesthesia in people with Drug Usage, run by Ajou University School of Medicine 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 1 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 9 Jun 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 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.

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?

Number of cough (time frame: from end of surgery to 5 min after tracheal extubation). 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 9 Jun 2017.
