About this study

Official title: Safety of Rapid Ventricular Pacing During Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery by Multimodal Neuromonitoring

To evaluate the effect of rapid ventricular pacing on the oxygenation of the brain in patients scheduled for cerebral aneurysm clipping surgery or arteriovenous malformation surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients scheduled for cerebral aneurysm clipping surgery or arteriovenous malformation surgery(ASA 1to 3 over 18years) receive standard care general anesthesia including central venous line for rapid ventricular pacing technique. A contralateral Foresight sensor is placed on the forehead of the patient at induction. After the craniotomy two micro electrodes(PBtO2 and cerebral blood flow) are placed in the brain and fixated. A subdural strip electrode is placed on the surface of the brain to record the electrical activity. Effect of mild hyperventilation and oxygenation with 100% O2 is evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cerebral oxygenation during surgery

    Oxygenation of the brain is measured by near-infrared spectroscopy and by evaluation of the brain tissue oxygen pressure by two microelectrodes placed in the brain.

    Measured: During surgery

  2. Cerebral blood flow during surgery

    Thermal diffusion flowmetry measures the local absolute cerebral blood flow

    Measured: During surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Electrophysiological changes in the brain during surgery

    Electro-corticography measures electrophysiological changes in the brain.

    Measured: During surgery

  2. Effect of ventilation with 100 % oxygen on cerebral parameters after rapid ventricular pacing

    Effect of ventilation with 100% oxygen on cerebral blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygenation measured by thermal diffusion flowmetry and brain tissue oxygen pressure measured by microelectrodes placed in the brain in combination with near-infrared spectroscopy, respectively.

    Measured: Intraoperative ( Start of ventilation at 100% oxygen until bloodgas analyses shows an increase in arterial oxygen pressure.)

  3. Effect of hyperventilation on cerebral parameters after rapid ventricular pacing

    Effect of hyperventilation (defined as arterial carbon dioxide pressure between 24 and 32 millimeter mercury) on cerebral blood flow and cerebral tissue oxygenation measured by thermal diffusion flowmetry and brain tissue oxygen pressure measured by microelectrodes placed in the brain in combination with near-infrared spectroscopy, respectively.

    Measured: Intraoperative (Start of hyperventilation until bloodgas analyses shows an arterial carbon dioxide pressure between 24 and 32 millimetre of mercury.)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rapid ventricular pacing and Surgery in people with Cerebral Arterial Aneurysm and Ventricular Rate Response Pacing, run by University Hospital, Antwerp at 1 site in Belgium.

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 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 30 Mar 2021. 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 Belgium. 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?

Cerebral oxygenation during surgery (time frame: During surgery). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03185091, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Mar 2021.
