About this study

General anesthesia induces hemodynamic changes, notably a reduction of arterial blood pressure going up to 30%, that may impact cerebral perfusion and oxygenation.The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of anesthesia on the cerebral oxygenation, the perfusion of the brain (assessed with transcranial doppler), and the depth of anesthesia in children between 6 months and 5 years old during the induction of general anesthesia (induced with sevoflurane and/or IV agents). It is expected that the cerebral hemodynamic will be maintained despite systemic variations.

What participants receive

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

  • General anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    Children under general anesthesia for an elective surgery, aged between 6 months and 5 years old, ASA 1-2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in NIRS values during induction

    Changes in cerebral Near infra-red spectrometry values

    Measured: baseline and 1 minute after intubation

  2. Changes in cerebral velocity of the middle cerebral artery during induction

    Measured: baseline and 1 minute after intubation

  3. Changes of Response Entropy (RE) value during induction

    Measured: baseline and 1 minute after intubation

  4. Changes of State Entropy (SE) value during induction

    Depth of anesthesia

    Measured: baseline and 1 minute after intubation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Changes in NIRS values after induction

    Measured: At 1 minute, 3 minutes after intubation and at the start of surgery

  2. Change in cerebral velocity of the middle cerebral artery after induction

    Measured: At 1 minute, 3 minutes after intubation and at the start of surgery

  3. Changes of arterial blood pressure during induction

    Measured: At baseline and 1 minute after intubation

  4. Changes of Response Entropy (RE) values after induction

    Measured: At 1 minute, 3 minutes after intubation and at the start of surgery

  5. Endtidal Co2 after induction

    Measured: 1 minute after intubation

  6. Changes of State Entropy (SE) value after induction

    Measured: At 1 minute, 3 minutes after intubation and at the start of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia; Reaction and Children, Only, run by St. Justine's Hospital at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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 3 May 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 Canada. 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?

Changes in NIRS values during induction (time frame: baseline and 1 minute after intubation). 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 3 May 2021.
