About this study

The induction dose of propofol is generally determined based on patients' characteristics, underlying disease, general condition, and also by clinician's experiences. However, It is difficult to anticipate and objectively calculate an adequate dose of propofol for every patient considering the variability of an individual's response to propofol. If there is a specific pattern in EEG prior to induction of anesthesia that can provide information about the patient's susceptibility to propofol, every induction may be performed far more smoothly with a precisely optimized dose of propofol for each patient. The study is to find a relationship between the pre-induction EEG pattern of adult patients and their sensitivity to propofol.

Being tested
Propofol, EEG monitoring

What participants receive

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

  • PropofolDrug

    The dose of propofol required for loss of consciousness and the total induction dose of propofol will be recorded for every patients.

  • EEG monitoringDevice

    The processed EEG spectrogram and indices, such as patient status index, 95% spectral edge frequency, and suppression ratio, will be obtained from Sedline monitoring device. The raw pre-induction EEG will be extracted from Sedline at the end of induction and it will be analyzed by an external software to calculate the mean frequency, frequency band power and its distribution.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Propofol Overdose of Undetermined Intent, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 7 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 16 Oct 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 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?

Absolute and Relative power in distinct frequency (% δ: 1-4 Hz, % θ: 5-8 Hz, % α: 9-12 Hz, % β: 13-25 Hz) (time frame: During the induction of anesthesia (up to 15 min)). The study lists 4 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 16 Oct 2023.
