Trial summary

Propofol is a commonly used anaesthetic with rapid recovery and less side effects and total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with propofol is a common technique now. The reduction on certain serum pro- inflammatory cytokines may lead to more smooth post- surgical recovery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Retrospective Study to Investigate Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) With Propofol on Postoperative Pain and Side Effects After Surgery

Propofol is a commonly used anaesthetic with rapid recovery and less side effects and total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with propofol is a common technique now. The reduction on certain serum pro- inflammatory cytokines may lead to more smooth post- surgical recovery.

Recent case report proved the analgesic effect of propofol infusion. However other animal and clinical studies showed controversial result.

The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the postoperative analgesic effects and side effects of intraoperative TIVA with propofol in patient undergoing surgery at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong between 2014 to 2016.

Read the detailed description

Objectives:

  1. To investigate the analgesic effects of propofol.
  2. To evaluate the effect of propofol on postoperative adverse events.

Methods:

Retrospective audit.

Data Collection:

  1. Demographic data;
  2. Types of analgesic techniques;
  3. Type of pain relief modalities;
  4. Pain score up to 72 hours postoperatively;
  5. Postoperative opioid consumption;
  6. Incidence of adverse events during APS care;
  7. Patients' satisfaction on pain relief.
Being tested
Propofol, general anaesthesia
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative

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?

pain score (time frame: up to postoperative day 3). 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.
