About this study

Official title: 50% Effective Concentration of Sevoflurane for Immobility in Cerebral Palsy Children Undergoing Botulinum Toxin Injection

Sevoflurane is as attractive inhalation agent fore deep sedation in children undergoing short invasive procedure because of lack of irritation to the respiratory tract, a pleasant odor and rapid clinical effect and recovery due to low blood gas partition coefficient.

The aim of this study is to determine the optimum inspired concentration of sevoflurane required for immobility during botulinum toxin injection in spontaneously breathing children with cerebral palsy.

Read the detailed description

All anesthetics were administered by a single experienced anesthesiologist. Anesthetic induction was performed progressively with inhaled 1-8% sevoflurane, if the patient was cooperative, otherwise directly to the 8%, and subsequent maintenance 2% in oxygen at 5 L /min. A face mask was connected to a Mapleson C circuit for it. Patients breathed spontaneously, unaided, via a pediatric face mask. A failure was defined as the patient continued to move after following the study protocol for sevoflurane inhalation. Insufficient sedation was treated with increments of 0.5% concentration to achieve the desired effect, ie, maintenance of immobility during botulinum toxin injection. The sevoflurane concentration in the next patient would be adjusted depending on the success or failure for immobility at given sevoflurane concentration ( if successful, 0.5% lower concentration, if failed, 0.5% higher concentration).

The child was recovered from sevoflurane sedation at the end of botulinum toxin injection and transferred to post-anesthetic care unit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing children receiving sevoflurane in people with Anesthetics, Inhalation, run by Yeungnam University College of Medicine 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 23 Jun 2022. 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.

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?

the incidence of immobility (time frame: during procedure (Botulinum injection)). 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 NCT03553446, 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 23 Jun 2022.
