Trial summary

Induction of anesthesia and the knee-chest position are associated with hemodynamic changes that may impact patient outcomes. Changes from baseline in cardiac output and other hemodynamic variables following induction of anesthesia and knee-chest positioning were compared. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Hemodynamic Changes and Propofol Pharmacokinetic Variation During Anesthesia Induction and Knee-chest Positioning in Propofol TCI Guided Anesthesia

Induction of anesthesia and the knee-chest position are associated with hemodynamic changes that may impact patient outcomes.

Changes from baseline in cardiac output and other hemodynamic variables following induction of anesthesia and knee-chest positioning were compared. Propofol plasma concentrations were also measured after induction of anesthesia and after the knee-chest position.

The aim of this study was to assess whether planned reductions in target-controlled infusion propofol concentrations attenuate the hemodynamic changes associated with anesthesia induction and knee-chest position.

The secondary aim was to quantify the variation in propofol measured plasma concentrations (Cm), both after induction and after KC positioning, and correlate them with predicted concentrations (Cp) by the Schnider Pk model.

Read the detailed description

A total of 20 patients scheduled for elective lumbar spinal surgery in the knee-chest position were included. In addition to standard anesthesia monitoring, bispectral index and noninvasive cardiac output monitoring were undertaken. The study was carried out in 2 parts. In phase 1, target-controlled infusion propofol anesthesia was adjusted to maintain BIS 40 to 60. In phase 2, there were 2 planned reductions in propofol target concentration: (1) immediately after loss of consciousness: reduction calculated using a predefined formula, and (2) before positioning: reduction equal to the average percentage decrease in CO after knee-chest position in phase 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemodynamic changes

    Changes from baseline in cardiac output and comparison of the changes between both groups.

    Measured: Baseline (moment 0), 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia (moment 1), 10 minutes after knee-chest positioning (moment 2)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic changes

    Correlation between propofol measured plasma concentrations and predicted plasma concentrations (Cp) by the Schnider Pk model.

    Measured: Baseline (moment 0), 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia (moment 1), 10 minutes after knee-chest positioning (moment 2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Propofol reduction in people with Hemodynamic Instability and Anesthesia, run by University of Salamanca at 1 site in Portugal.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2019. 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 Portugal. 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?

Hemodynamic changes (time frame: Baseline (moment 0), 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia (moment 1), 10 minutes after knee-chest positioning (moment 2)). 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 23 May 2019.
