Trial summary

Background: Application of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) may be considered as unpractical when compared with inhalational anesthesia. Although it is mostly not recommended, mixing intravenous agents seems to be popular in clinical practice. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Total Intravenous Anesthesia With Remifentanil-propofol Admixture Using Single-infusion Technique

Background: Application of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) may be considered as unpractical when compared with inhalational anesthesia. Although it is mostly not recommended, mixing intravenous agents seems to be popular in clinical practice. The aim of the study was to investigate the possible clinical drawbacks of using remifentanil-propofol admixture (MIXTIVA) for TIVA.

Read the detailed description

ASA I-II adult patients scheduled for elective thyroidectomy were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n= 32 for each) to have TIVA either with remifentanil and propofol infusions separately (control group, Group I) or with MIXTIVA infusion that had remifentanil/propofol proportion 2/1000 or 3/1000 (remifentanil concentration 20 µg/ml or 30 µg/ml in propofol 1%, Group II or Group III respectively).

This technique may be considered as a practical implementation for busy ambulatory surgery centers performing general anesthesia, but delayed recovery may be predicted with longer duration of surgery and anesthesia.

Being tested
Remifentanil-Propofol admixture

What is being measured

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

  1. Heart Rate Changes

    Bradycardia: heart rate <45 beat per / min

    Measured: During the application of TIVA

  2. Blood Pressure Changes

    Hypotension (MAP <60 mmHg), Hypertension( systolic arterial pressure >150 mmHg)

    Measured: During the application of TIVA

  3. Bispectral Index (BIS) Changes

    BIS levels >60

    Measured: During the application of TIVA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Intravenous Anesthesia and Propofol, run by Bezmialem Vakif University.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2020. 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 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?

Heart Rate Changes (time frame: During the application of TIVA). The study lists 3 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 NCT04394897, which also lists 6 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 20 May 2020.
