About this study

Official title: How Cerebral Oxygenation Correlates, Measured at Various Cranial Points, Frontally and Occipital in Children Under 1 Years Old, During General Anesthesia and Surgery

Children who undergo surgery routinely for surgery that risk high levels of circulatory changes (eg heart surgery) is currently used routinely monitoring as regional oxygenation technology of the brain (NIRS). Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technique for measuring regional oxygen saturation, indirect autoregulation of brain. We know that reduced oxygenation of the brain can occur with severe immediate blood loss. We in the research group has been able to note that in children who undergo surgery for cranioplasty interventions <1 year old, when they have ongoing excessive bleeding, decreases oxygenation in the brain and sometimes sharply before we can replace the loss of blood, even the blood pressure can be adequately maintained. Perioperative hypovolemia is a risk factor upset autoregulation of brain. Respect of which the mean arterial pressure (MAP) required to maintain intact autoregulation during general anesthesia still lacks a scientific consensus.

By illuminating the skin and underlying tissue with infrared light in the spectra of 700 to 1100nm, it is possible to measure regional oxygen saturation in various tissues. At cerebral measuring sensor is placed frontally, just below the hairline. INVOS then returns the absolute values of cerebral oxygen saturation frontally in the area where the sensor is placed.

A frontal placement may in some cases be impractical / impossible and thus limits the ability to monitor the brains of children with different types of surgery or body positions. At certain cranioplastic intervention surgery a frontal placement is not always possible, partly because of surgical technic reasons, but also that the child may have to lie prone during surgery. An alternative placement of INVOS sensor could mean greater opportunities to monitor cerebral oxygen saturation and thus increase patient safety within the mentioned categories of patients. An occipital location is practically possible in many cases. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a occipital located sensor can measure cerebral oxygen saturation in a reliable manner.

Read the detailed description

We want to study patients undergoing cleft lip and palate plastic surgery at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. This population has been chosen because it is an age group that is homogeneous and suits our aim "two different measuring points (frontal and occipitalt) of sensors for regional cerebral oxygenation in children under 1 yrs old, during general anesthesia and surgery. We will use a INVOS 5100 (the latest version of INVOS). A sensor will be applied, frontally and occipital on the head.

Patients will be enrolled consecutively when they have been planned for surgery, at Salhgrenska University Hospital.

Perioperative data will be registered in 5-minute intervals from frontally and occipital measurements. The measurements begin before the patient is anesthetized and ends when the patient is extubated.

All monitoring data during the general anesthesia will be obtained and documented in a data sheet.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia Complication and Surgical Blood Loss, run by Göteborg University at 1 site in Sweden.

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 3 inclusion and 0 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 11 Dec 2018. 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 Sweden. 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?

NIRS correlation (time frame: 1 yr). 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 11 Dec 2018.
