Trial summary

Patients were randomized into 2 groups according to the anesthetic, propofol or sevoflurane. Induction and maintenance were standardized, and after the end of surgery, two steady-state recordings were performed at BIS 25 and BIS 55. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Spectral Analysis of Heart Rate Variability at BIS 25 and BIS 55 Under Propofol or Sevoflurane

Patients were randomized into 2 groups according to the anesthetic, propofol or sevoflurane. Induction and maintenance were standardized, and after the end of surgery, two steady-state recordings were performed at BIS 25 and BIS 55. Bispectral Index and ECG were continuously recorded and cardiac autonomic nervous activity was investigated using spectral analysis of RR Interval variability

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    General anesthesia using sevoflurane as a hypnotic agent

  • PropofolDrug

    General anesthesia using propofol as a hypnotic agent

  • RemifentanilDrug

    General anesthesia using remifentanil as an analgesic.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SevofluraneActive comparatorGeneral anesthesia using sevoflurane as a hypnotic agent, and remifentanil as an analgesic. Two steady state periods of 10 minutes each, one with a steady bispectral index at 25 +/- 5, the other with a steady bispectral index at 55 +/- 5. Continuous recording of heart rate during the last minute of each steady-state. Off-line spectral analysis of heart rate variability.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane, Propofol and Remifentanil in people with General Anesthesia, run by Hôpital Armand Trousseau at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 4 Apr 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 France. 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?

Spectral analysis of heart rate variability with a bispectral index of 25 (time frame: During surgical procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Apr 2017.
