Trial summary

Volatile anesthetics, such as sevoflurane and desflurane, are commonly used in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries including off-pump coronary artery bypass. However, the effect of volatile anesthetics on microcirculation in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass has not been well conducted. Read more about this study

About this study

Volatile anesthetics, such as sevoflurane and desflurane, are commonly used in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries including off-pump coronary artery bypass. However, the effect of volatile anesthetics on microcirculation in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass has not been well conducted.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial investigating the effect of sevoflurane vs. desflurane on tissue microcirculation in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. Eligible patients are going to be randomized to receive sevoflurane or desflurane, as a maintenance anesthetic, during the surgery. Tissue oxygen saturation and microcirculatory changes, such as an occlusion and recovery slope, during vascular occlusion test will be recorded during the surgery. The primary end point of the study is the difference in tissue oxygen saturation between the groups.

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    Sevoflurane use as main anesthetic drug during the surgery

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Desflurane use as main anesthetic drug during the surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Tissue oxygen saturation measured at thenar eminence by Hutchinson(R) tissue oximeter during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery

    Tissue oxygen saturation measured at thenar eminence by tissue oximeter during surgery in patients receiving sevoflurane or desflurane

    Measured: Before induction of anesthesia to the end of the surgery, an average 8 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Sevoflurane and Desflurane in people with Microcirculation and Anesthetic Complication Spinal, run by Seoul 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 7 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 Mar 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Tissue oxygen saturation measured at thenar eminence by Hutchinson(R) tissue oximeter during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (time frame: Before induction of anesthesia to the end of the surgery, an average 8 hours). 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 NCT03209193, 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 4 Mar 2020.
