About this study

Official title: Effects of General Anesthesia With Propofol Versus Desflurane on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Obese Patients Scheduled for Bariatric Surgery

Evaluate the effects of propofol compared with desflurane on oxidative stress and inflammation markers in obese patients undergoing scheduled bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

Obese patients have a high level of oxidative stress and inflammation activity. Desflurane is an anesthetic gas often used for obese patients. Propofol, another anesthetic agent, has shown an antioxidant property. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of propofol with desflurane on oxidative stress and inflammation markers in obese patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Desflurane Inhalant ProductDrug

    Also called Suprane

    General anesthesia will be induced with sufentanyl (0.2µg/kg) and thiopental (5mg/kg) and maintained by desflurane

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called Diprivan

    General anesthesia will be induced with propofol (2mg/kg) and sufentanyl (0.2µg/kg) and maintained by propofol in a target-controlled infusion mode

What is being measured

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

  1. Malondialdehyde (MDA) level in blood sample

    Plasma MDA level is measured as an oxidative stress marker before the surgery, at 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours post-surgical incision.

    Measured: up to 24 hours post bariatric surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in blood sample

    Plasma CRP level is measured as an inflammation marker before the surgery, at 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours post-surgical incision.

    Measured: up to 24 hours post bariatric surgery

  2. Monocyte level in blood sample

    Monocyte level is measured as an inflammation marker before the surgery, at 1 hour, 2 hours, 24 hours post-surgical incision.

    Measured: up to 24 hours post bariatric surgery

  3. Pain assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Pain level is determined at 2 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours post-surgical incision. Visual analog pain score (scale = 0 no pain; 10= worst pain imaginable)

    Measured: up to 48 hours after surgery

  4. Side-effects (nausea, vomiting, somnolence, respiratory depression)

    Evaluation at 2 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours post-surgical incision

    Measured: up to 48 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Desflurane Inhalant Product and Propofol in people with Anesthesia and Obesity, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Saint Pierre.

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 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 9 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Malondialdehyde (MDA) level in blood sample (time frame: up to 24 hours post bariatric surgery). 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 NCT03417518, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 9 Feb 2018.
