Trial summary

NIPE monitor is the recently developed pediatric version of the ANI monitor, which is used in adults to monitor analgesia during general anesthesia. In adults, under general anesthesia, ANI decreases after a nociceptive stimulation. The amplitude of this decrease is related to the intensity of the stim. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE) Index After Three Standardized Tetanic Stimulations (10, 30 and 60 Miliamps) Performed in a Randomized Sequence Under General Anesthesia in a Pediatric Population

NIPE monitor is the recently developed pediatric version of the ANI monitor, which is used in adults to monitor analgesia during general anesthesia. In adults, under general anesthesia, ANI decreases after a nociceptive stimulation. The amplitude of this decrease is related to the intensity of the stim. This study aims to investigate if NIPE index decreases in the same manner after stimulations in anesthetized children.

What participants receive

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

  • NIPE monitorDevice

    NIPE monitor connected to the anesthetic station. No part of the device in contact with the patient. No action on patient or anesthesia. Automatic recording of Heart rate and NIPE index during the study period.

  • Tetanic stimulationsProcedure or surgery

    Three tetanic stimulations will be performed (10-30 and 60 milliamps) under general anesthesia, before surgical incision.

    Stims performed via the muscle relaxation monitor (used in standard practice in this population) Each stim lasts for 5 seconds. Interval between two stims : 3-5 minutes Order on intensities randomized by a latin square of order 3.

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of NIPE index (∆NIPE)

    ∆NIPE = [NIPE minimal value in the 3 minutes following the stim] - [NIPE before stim]

    NIPE varies from 0 to 100. Monitor displays one value per second. NIPE index expected to decrease after stim.

    Measured: 3 minutes following tetanic stimulation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Heart rate Variation (∆HR)

    ∆HR = [HR maximal value in the 3 minutes following the stim] - [HR before stim] Heart rate expected to increase after stim.

    Measured: 3 minutes following tetanic stimulation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NIPE monitor and Tetanic stimulations in people with Anesthesia, run by University Hospital, Lille at 1 site in France.

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 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 Jan 2023. 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 France. 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?

Variation of NIPE index (∆NIPE) (time frame: 3 minutes following tetanic stimulation). 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 NCT04381637, 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 26 Jan 2023.
