About this study

Official title: Haemodynamic Stability During Induction of General Anesthesia With Propofol and Remifentanil: A Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind Study Comparing Low vs High Propofol Doses.

The study objective is to examine if a high propofol dose is non-inferior to a low dose in respect to hemodynamic stability in healthy patients during induction of general anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil.

Read the detailed description

Typically, one or more adjuvant medications are administered to supplement induction of general anesthesia. When combining anesthetic drugs, the hypnotic effects are often synergistic. Propofol is associated with hypotension and bradycardia and used together with remifentanil or sedative agents it may give synergistic or additive sedative and hemodynamic effects.

Claeys (1988) and Fairfield (1991) examined the cardiovascular effects of propofol 2-2.5 mg/kg induction dose and found significant reductions i SBP and SVR and small changes in CO, SV and HR. De Wit (2016) examined hemodynamic changes in different steady state propofol serum concentrations, and found a dose dependent SBP reduction, reduction in resistance of arterial and systemic circulation and a reduction in mean systemic filling pressures (MSFP) indicative of a reduction in "stressed volumes". The effective dose (ED) 95% for loss of consciousness for propofol was determined to 1.75 mg/kg when used alone, and 1.38 mg/kg when used together with remifentanil 0.25 microg/kg/min (total induction dose 1.75 microg/kg remifentanil) in a study by Koh et al. We want to examine the hemodynamic effects of giving a low (1.4 mg/kg) vs a high (2.4 mg/kg) propofol dose combined with a moderate remifentanil dose (about 1.5 microg/kg).

    Relative change of HR (beats)

    Measured: The first 7.5 minutes during induction of general anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Stroke Volume (SV)

    Relative change of SV (ml/beat)

    Measured: The first 7.5 minutes during induction of general anesthesia

  2. Cardiac Output (CO)

    Relative change of CO (litre/min)

    Measured: The first 7.5 minutes during induction of general anesthesia

  3. Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR)

    Relative change of SVR (dynes-sec/cm5/m2)

    Measured: The first 7.5 minutes during induction of general anesthesia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol in people with Hemodynamics Instability and Anesthesia, General, run by Helse Fonna at 1 site in Norway.

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 4 inclusion and 15 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 Jun 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 Norway. 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?

Systolic blood pressure (SBP) (time frame: The first 7.5 minutes during induction of general anesthesia). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03861364, which also lists 5 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 Jun 2020.
