About this study

Official title: The Change of Tissue Oxygen Saturation Measured by Dynamic Near Infrared Spectroscopy Following Volatile Anesthesia in Healthy Population

General anesthesia can affect tissue oxygen saturation and microcirculatory reactivity. However, the differences in microcirculation caused by anesthetic methods have not been well studied. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measures peripheral tissue oxygen saturation noninvasively and can be used in conjunction with vascular occlusion (VOT) experiments. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in NIRS derived tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) and microcirculatory reactivity by VOT after inhalation anesthesia in healthy population.

This prospective, observational study will be performed on 60 healthy patients who had undergone elective surgery under volatile general anesthesia. The investigators measure StO2 and microvascular reactivity using NIRS combined with vascular occlusion test (VOT). The parameters were performed twice per patient, before and after the induction of anesthesia.

Occlusion slope and recovery slope during VOT will be compared before and after anesthesia. Moreover, the changes depend on the age will be analyzed.

Read the detailed description

This prospective observational study was performed on 60 patients without comorbidities who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia. Before and after the induction of anesthesia, StO2 monitoring and VOT were performed to investigate the effect of anesthesia on microcirculation. To investigate the effect of age on microcirculation, the patients were divided into two different groups, young (< 65 yrs) and old (> 65 yrs) groups, and the VOT-derived parameters and hemodynamics between two groups were compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Tissue Oxygen Saturation after General Anesthesia

    Vascular occlusion test (VOT) will be performed twice for each patient, before (T0) and 30 min after the induction of general anesthesia (T1). Before induction, a NIRS sensor will be placed on the thenar eminence and an automated tourniquet will be placed around the ipsilateral upper arm. After the baseline StO2 stabilization, the automatic tourniquet will be inflated to 50 mmHg over the patient's baseline systolic blood pressure and maintain for 5 min. After the 5-min ischemic period, the tourniquet will be rapidly deflated to 0 mmHg. StO2 data will be continuously recorded during the VOT procedure. Baseline StO2, minimum StO2 during the 5-min inflation of the tourniquet, maximum StO2 during deflation of the tourniquet, time to minimum StO2, and time to maximum StO2 will be obtained. The occlusion slope and recovery slope will be calculated based on the measured StO2 data.

    Measured: before and 30 minutes after anesthetic induction

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Age-related changes in microcirculation

    Patients will be divided into three groups by age (younger group: < 65 years old and older group: ≥ 65 years old) to perform age-based analysis. The acquired StO2 data by the VOT test among the groups will be analyzed and compared.

    Measured: before and 30 minutes after anesthetic induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy and Aging, run by Pusan National University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 14 Apr 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.

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?

Changes in Tissue Oxygen Saturation after General Anesthesia (time frame: before and 30 minutes after anesthetic induction). 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 14 Apr 2020.
