About this study

Official title: Influence of Different Anesthetic Procedures on Sleep Disorder Breathing in Adult Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common form of sleep disordered breathing characterized by partial or complete upper airway obstructions during sleep. OSA is associated with major comorbidities and perioperative complications. These complications are caused not only by the OSA itself, but also by exacerbations of this syndrome during the perioperative period (1). Benzodiazepines, volatile anesthetics and opioids may lead to lower hypoxia and hypercapnia sensitivity and may cause respiratory depression (2-5). Therefore, preference of neuraxial blockades and avoidance of opioids has been suggested for patients with OSA (6). However, there is still lack of evidence to evaluate the effects of various anesthesia procedures on OSA (6,7). We hypothesize different anesthetic procedures will have different effect on OSA exacerbations in the postoperative period. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to compare the number of sleep disordered breathing episodes in the postoperative period in patients with different anesthetic procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by St. Anne's University Hospital Brno, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 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 Czechia. 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?

Apnea-hypopnea index change (time frame: 4 nights after 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 NCT03499132, which also lists 7 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 17 Mar 2020.
