About this study

During a general anesthesia, people over 65 years old and hypertensive, have a modification of the vasoreactivity and their cerebral blood flow under vasoconstrictor such as norepinephrine or phenylephrine. We study the variation of the average velocity of the average cerebral artery under vasoconstrictor and during a modification of End Tidal CO2 (EtCO2) by transcranial Doppler.

Read the detailed description

General anesthesia induces a sympathetic block frequently leading to hypotension, especially in elderly and hypertensive patients. Currently, Phenylephrine (PE) and Norepinephrine (NE) are commonly used in clinical practice to address this arterial pressure drop. Their cardiovascular effects are not exactly the same, even though they both increase mean blood pressure.

Maintenance of mean arterial pressure is not the only hemodynamic goal during general anesthesia in the elderly. Cognitive disorders have been demonstrated during post-anesthetic awakening.

Cerebral hemodynamics is assessed by analyzing the speed of blood flow in the middle cerebral artery using transcranial Doppler (DTC). It measures the systolic and diastolic speed as well as the pulsatility index, which are predictive factors for lowering cerebral blood flow.

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of the velocity of the middle cerebral artery with vasoconstrictors and during a modification of EtCO2.

    Measurements from transcranial doppler velocity of the middle cerebral artery

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Variation of cardiac output with vasoconstrictors and during modification of EtCO2.

    Measurements from non invasive device (ClearSight System) of the cardiac output. The ClearSight system quickly connects to the patient by wrapping an inflatable cuff around the finger. Then the system presents cardiac output clearly and simply on the monitor.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertensive Disease and Elderly, run by University Hospital, Tours.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2019. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Variation of the velocity of the middle cerebral artery with vasoconstrictors and during a modification of EtCO2. (time frame: 48 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 26 Sep 2019.
