Trial summary

Inhalation anesthesia; It means that the anesthetic drugs taken by the respiratory tract pass into the blood through the lung alveoli, reach the brain tissue, and create an anesthetic effect according to the density in the brain tissue. All inhalation anesthetics affect organ functions to varying degrees. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Sevoflurane and Desflurane on Clara Cell Protein on the Lung in Liver Transplant Donors: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Inhalation anesthesia; It means that the anesthetic drugs taken by the respiratory tract pass into the blood through the lung alveoli, reach the brain tissue, and create an anesthetic effect according to the density in the brain tissue. All inhalation anesthetics affect organ functions to varying degrees. Clara cell has been shown to have cell regeneration, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity in the bronchial epithelium. It is also thought that some substances accumulated in the respiratory system participate in the detoxification. Clara cell protein acts as a protein marker that indicates the severity of airway injuries after exposure to irritants. In this study, we planned to investigate the effect of inhalation anesthetics on Clara cell protein in liver transplant donors who will undergo hepatectomy surgery.

Read the detailed description

Inhalation anesthesia is still an important source of chemical hazard in the hospital environment due to its widespread use in operating rooms. Factors affecting the presence of anesthetic gases in the environment; device leakage, ventilation, fresh gas flow, and operation of the air cleaning system. Long-term exposure to anesthetic gases is known to adversely affect the health of employees in the operating room.

Clara cell plays a reliable role as a large bronchiolar progenitor cell that can contribute to cell regeneration in the bronchial epithelium. Thus, it contributes to the protection of the normal epithelium of the distal conductive airways. Additionally, it has been shown to have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity. It is thought that some substances accumulated in the respiratory system participate in the detoxification.

Operations of patients undergoing hepatectomy usually take 4-6 hours. Inhalation anesthetics are widely used during this surgery. In this study, we thought to show the effect of long-term inhalation anesthesia exposure by performing this surgery on patients in this group. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of sevoflurane and desflurane inhalation anesthetics on clara cell protein in liver transplant donors scheduled for hepatectomy surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • SevofluraneDrug

    In the sevoflurane group (n = 25), after the induction of anesthesia with 2 mg / kg propofol and 1 µg / kg remifentanyl, rocuronium 0.6 mg / kg will be given for intubation. In this group, the Sevoflurane concentration will be adjusted between 1-2%, the BIS value will be 40-60, and it will be inhaled with an air / O2 mixture to be FiO2: 0.4.

  • DesfluraneDrug

    In the desflurane group (n = 25), after induction of anesthesia with 2 mg / kg propofol and 1 µg / kg remifentanyl, rocuronium 0.6 mg / kg will be given for intubation. In this group, Desflurane concentration will be adjusted between 6-8%, BIS value will be 40-60 and it will be inhaled with a mixture of air / O2 mixture to be FiO2: 0.4.

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called TIVA(propofol-remifentanyl)

    In the propofol-remifentanyl group (n = 25), rocuronium 0.6 mg / kg will be administered for intubation after 2 mg / kg propofol and 1 µg / kg remifentanil. Maintenance of anesthesia will be adjusted to be between 10 mg / kg / h for the first 10 minutes, 8 mg / kg / h for the following 10 minutes, and then by 6 mg / kg / h propofol infusion, with the BIS value between 40-60. Patients in this group will be inhaled with a mixture of air / O2 to be FiO2: 0.4. Inhalation anesthetics will not be used in this group.

What is being measured

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

  1. clara cell protein blood levels

    Hepatectomy surgery usually takes 4-6 hours. The clara cell protein levels (baseline) in the blood of the participants before surgery will be compared with the levels of clara cell protein in the blood that will be taken at the end of the surgery. The change between these levels will be measured by ELISA kit.

    Measured: baseline,up to 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. mean arterial pressure

    Mean arterial pressure will be measured at 30-minute intervals from the start of anesthesia induction to extubation.

    Measured: Procedure (from beginning of anesthesia induction to extubation at 30-minute intervals)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane, Desflurane and Propofol in people with Inhalation Anesthesia and Lung Injury, run by Inonu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

clara cell protein blood levels (time frame: baseline,up to 6 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04645316, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2021.
