About this study

Official title: A Novel Co-induction Technique Compared to Standard Inhalational and Intravenous Induction Techniques: a Prospective Randomized Control Study

Co-induction technique refers to the use of a combination of medications to reach the desired therapeutic target. In the present study, the investigators examined the safety of a novel co-induction approach that relied on a simple timing and dosing alterations to the classical approaches of inhalational sevoflurane and propofol induction. The significance of this study is to find a reliable safe alternative method of induction that can provide optimal parameters,when compared to the classical methods of induction.

Read the detailed description

Co-induction technique refers to the use of a combination of medications to reach the desired therapeutic target. This technique is considered an approach that can be of a great benefit to patients with chronic medical illnesses and those who have moderate to high risk for general anaesthesia.

In the present study, the investigators examined the safety of a novel co-induction approach that relied on a simple timing and dosing alterations to the classical approaches of inhalational sevoflurane and propofol induction. The significance of this study is to find a reliable safe alternative method of induction that can provide optimal parameters,when compared to the classical methods of induction. The investigators evaluated the time needed for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion, number of LMA insertion trials, succession of LMA insertion, adverse events related to the airway, respiratory and cardiovascular systems, haemodynamic stability and satisfaction scores of enrolled patients.

Being tested
Induction using propofol, Induction using sevoflurane, Induction using propofol and sevoflurane

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Induction using propofolDrug

    Patients were given 1.5 mcg/Kg of fentanyl intravenously. two minutes after the fentanyl dose, a dose of 1.5 mg/kg of propofol slowly over 2 minutes.

  • Induction using sevofluraneDrug

    Patients were given 1.5 mcg/Kg of fentanyl intravenously. two minutes after the fentanyl dose, patient received 8% inhalational sevoflurane through sealed plastic face mask at 8 L/min flow of oxygen.

  • Induction using propofol and sevofluraneDrug

    Patients were given 1.5 mcg/Kg of fentanyl intravenously. two minutes after the fentanyl dose, patient received 4% sevoflurane through sealed plastic face mask at 8 L/min flow of oxygen for 2 minutes, followed by a dose of 0.75 mg/kg of propofol given slowly.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative respiratory adverse events

    The investigators recorded the occurrence of transient apnea intraoperatively, in addition to laryngeal spasm, coughing, gagging and increased salivation. The study chart included the documentation these common adverse events, the timing of occurrence, and the intervention required to manage these events.

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time for successful laryngeal mask airway insertion

    The investigators assessed the time needed for LMA insertion. The timer was started upon giving the fentanyl, recording the time till successful insertion of laryngeal mask airway.

    Measured: 8 months

  2. Blood pressure stability

    The investigators recorded patients' blood pressure readings throughout the induction procedure.

    Measured: 8 months

  3. Heart rate stability

    The investigators recorded patients' heart rate throughout the induction procedure.

    Measured: 8 months

  4. Changes in oxygen saturation

    The investigators recorded patients' oxygen saturation throughout the induction procedure.

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Induction using propofol, Induction using sevoflurane and Induction using propofol and sevoflurane in people with Anesthesia and Anesthesia; Adverse Effect, run by University of Jordan at 1 site in Jordan.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 26 Feb 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 Jordan. 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?

Intraoperative respiratory adverse events (time frame: 8 months). 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 Feb 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
