Trial summary

This study aims to determine if anesthetic depth can be deepened non-pharmacologically through use of sleep masks. This study seeks to demonstrate a relationship between the depth of anesthesia with application of sleep masks intraoperatively and in the critical care setting. Read more about this study

About this study

This study aims to determine if anesthetic depth can be deepened non-pharmacologically through use of sleep masks. This study seeks to demonstrate a relationship between the depth of anesthesia with application of sleep masks intraoperatively and in the critical care setting.

Read the detailed description

Depth of anesthesia will be monitored, both with a standard sleep mask applied and without, in each subject using standard electroencephalogram (EEG) readings via forehead leads and Masimo Sedline 2.0 4-lead EEG monitors.

OR Subjects:

Patients will be induced in a standard fashion using intravenous (IV) anesthetics. A continuous administration of propofol and inhalational anesthetics will be used for maintenance of anesthesia. The standard electroencephalogram (EEG) reading via forehead leads and Masimo Sedline 2.0 4-lead EEG machines will be used to monitor the depth of anesthesia, both with and without the sleep mask.

ICU Subjects:

Patients will be induced in a standard fashion using intravenous (IV) anesthetics. A continuous administration of propofol will be used for maintenance of anesthesia. The standard electroencephalogram (EEG) reading via Masimo Sedline 2.0 4-lead EEG monitors will be used to track the depth of anesthesia, both with and without the sleep mask.

All Subjects:

In both settings,once baseline EEG readings are established (30 minutes), EEG data will be recorded and a sleep mask will be applied to the patient for one hour. After one hour (90 minutes), EEG data will be recorded and the sleep mask will be removed. After another hour (150 minutes), EEG data will be recorded and the mask reapplied. After another hour (210 minutes), EEG data will be recorded and the mask removed. The levels/doses of anesthetic agent at each time point will also be recorded.

Subjective perception of depth of anesthesia will be obtained by means of a post-procedure evaluation administered to each subject.

Intensive Care UnitExperimentalPatients will be induced in a standard fashion using intravenous (IV) anesthetics. A continuous administration of propofol will be used for maintenance of anesthesia. Baseline EEG readings will be established for 30 minutes, then EEG data will be recorded and a sleep mask applied to the patient for one hour. After one hour, eye masks will be removed for an hour and reapplied after another hour. During the hour that the mask is off, 2 hours into sedation, EEG data will again be recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. EEG data

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Subject perception of depth of anesthesia

    post-procedure evaluation

    Measured: within 24 hours of reversal of sedation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sleep Mask in people with Anesthesia, run by Englewood Hospital and Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: change in study staffing). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

EEG data (time frame: 2 hours). 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 20 Aug 2021.
