Trial summary

In general, 50-90% of patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia are known to develop hypothermia during surgery. Due to hypothermia during surgery, the patient may cause coagulation disorders, wound infections, increased ventricular tachycardia, prolonged anesthesia drug effects, and electrification… Read more about this study

About this study

In general, 50-90% of patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia are known to develop hypothermia during surgery. Due to hypothermia during surgery, the patient may cause coagulation disorders, wound infections, increased ventricular tachycardia, prolonged anesthesia drug effects, and electrification, resulting in delayed recovery after surgery, extended recovery room exit, and extended hospital stay. Therefore, unless intentional hypothermia is needed, active body temperature management during surgery is necessary.

Pulmonary artery, distal esophagus, tympanic membrane, nasopharynx, oral cavity, axillary cavity, rectum, and bladder can be measured. The most accurate method for measuring deep body temperature in general anesthesia is esophageal body temperature, nasopharyngeal body temperature, It is known as tympanic body temperature. 3,4 However, the tympanic body temperature has the disadvantage that it cannot be continuously measured. Considering these points, esophageal thermometers that can be continuously measured in patients with general anesthesia and have few side effects are commonly used. The esophageal thermometer is usually inserted through the oral cavity. When the supraglottic airway device is inserted, the space in the oral cavity is filled with the supraglottic airway device, making it difficult to mount the esophageal thermometer. However, most second-generation supraglottic airway devices have gastric lumens, and gastric lumens are connected to the esophagus, allowing esophageal thermometers to be mounted through this space. Since the esophageal temperature probe is inserted in all general anesthesia patients using the supraglottic airway device in this application, the body temperature measured by the temporal artery at the same time is how accurate the body temperature measured at this time is as a reference value using the tympanic membrane. I would like to analyze the transient comparison. We will also analyze whether the esophageal thermometer mounted through the gastric lumen of the supraglottic airway device reflects the rapidly decreasing body temperature change when the pneumatic tourniquet is decompressed.

Read the detailed description

Basic anesthesia management is the same as for patients undergoing general anesthesia using all supraglottic airway devices.

Fasting from midnight the day before surgery, and when the patient enters the operating room, a blood pressure monitor, electrocardiogram, pulse saturator is mounted, and baseline blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate are recorded. As an anesthesia-inducing facial mask, it provides 100% of 4-6L/min of oxygen. Propofol is administered at 2 mg/kg, and after the patient's self-breathing is lost, 5% sevoflurane is supplied for 3 minutes to deepen the depth of anesthesia. After inserting the appropriate size of supraglottic airway (i-gel) according to the patient's weight, the esophageal temperature probe is inserted through the gastric lumen to the end of the supraglottic airway device i-gel. After 10 minutes, when the body temperature measurement measured in the esophagus stabilizes, the body temperature is measured at the tympanic membrane and temporal artery at 10-minute intervals. For the objectivity of body temperature measurement, the same operator performs it, and the left and right sides of the tympanic membrane can be measured differently, so both sides are measured and averaged. After Tourniquet deflation, body temperature is measured and recorded every 10 minutes from 10 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Core Temperature, run by Sojin Shin at 1 site in South Korea.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 7 Jan 2021. 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 South Korea. 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?

esophageal temperature (time frame: 10min). 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 7 Jan 2021.
