Trial summary

Propofol is often used for sedation in children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging. The investigators will perform a chart review of 4 month of activity (about 100 cases) and review the incidence and severity of adverse events of this sedation technique. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Incidence of Adverse Events During Propofol Sedation for Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Pediatric Patients

Propofol is often used for sedation in children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging. The investigators will perform a chart review of 4 month of activity (about 100 cases) and review the incidence and severity of adverse events of this sedation technique.

Read the detailed description

Magnetic resonance imaging in children, especially under 6 years of age, is often performed under sedation. Propofol is a common drug used in this settings. In our institution, sedation is most often done by a propofol bolus of 2-5 mg/kg in order to reach a deep level of sedation as defined by Coté et al. If judged necessary by the attending anaesthesiologist, a additional propofol bolus of 0.5-1 mg/kg may be given. For longer lasting exams, the attending anaesthesiologist can chose to use a continuous infusion of propofol. The investigators will review the charts of 4 month of magnetic resonance imaging, which will give us a cohort of about 100 patients. Baseline characteristics, detailed sedation technique used will be recorded. Adverse events defined as:

  • Oxygen desaturation measured by transcutaneous oximetry SpO2≤94%
  • hypercapnia measure by end-tidal CO2 >45 mm Hg
  • movement of the patient

Assuming a non-normal distribution (tested by a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test), variables will be reported as median and interquartile range. Statistical tests will be done by non-parametric tests, Mann Whitney U. Non continuous variables will be analyzed by a Chi-square test.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Hypoxemia

    Arterial desaturation defined as number of episodes with an SpO2≤94%

    Measured: 90 minutes

  2. Hypercapnia

    Hypercapnia, defined as number of episodes with an ETCO2 > 45 mm HG

    Measured: 90 minutes

  3. Movements

    Number of patient movements interfering with the MRI exam

    Measured: 90 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Propofol Adverse Reaction, run by Brugmann University Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 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 Aug 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 Belgium. 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?

Hypoxemia (time frame: 90 minutes). 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?
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 Aug 2020.
