The effects of anesthesia and surgery can lead to stress responses that result in hormonal and metabolic changes in the body. The immune system and the nervous system communicate both ways, and it was found that nociception and proinflammatory cytokines play a joint regulatory role, i.e., increased production of… Read more about this study

About this study

The effects of anesthesia and surgery can lead to stress responses that result in hormonal and metabolic changes in the body. The immune system and the nervous system communicate both ways, and it was found that nociception and proinflammatory cytokines play a joint regulatory role, i.e., increased production of proinflammatory cytokines can worsen the pain. Major surgery can trigger the release of cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α.

The effects of anesthesia and surgery can lead to stress responses that result in hormonal and metabolic changes in the body. The immune system and the nervous system communicate both ways, and it was found that nociception and proinflammatory cytokines play a joint regulatory role, i.e., increased production of proinflammatory cytokines can worsen the pain. Major surgery can trigger the release of cytokines such as IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α.

The acute analgesic effect of ketamine is generally believed to be mediated through the blockade of the phencyclidine binding site of the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor of nociceptive neurons. Ketamine can reduce the inflammatory response marked by a decrease in CRP levels to surgical trauma and can prevent secondary damage to tissues/organs that were not initially affected by surgery by reducing inflammation. This also reduces postoperative pain and analgesics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum CRP level

    Serum C-reactive protein level

    Measured: 1-hour before surgery

  2. Serum CRP level

    Serum C-reactive protein level

    Measured: 24-hours after surgery

  3. serum neutrophil-count

    serum neutrophil-count (from a complete blood count test)

    Measured: 1-hour before surgery

  4. serum neutrophil-count

    serum neutrophil-count (from a complete blood count test)

    Measured: 24-hours after surgery

  5. VAS (visual analog score)

    minimum=0; maximum=10; higher score corresponds to more severe pain

    Measured: first 24 hours after the surgery

  6. morphine consumption (mg)

    total morphine consumption in 24 hours after the surgery

    Measured: first 24 hours after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ketamine 0.3 mg/kg at end-of-surgery and Ketamine 0.3 mg/kg at anesthesia induction in people with General Anesthesia and Laparotomy, run by Udayana University at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 11 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 12 Nov 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 Indonesia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Serum CRP level (time frame: 1-hour before surgery). The study lists 6 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 12 Nov 2020.
