About this study

Official title: An Observational Study of Cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg, Comparing Onset Time, Duration of Action and Effect on Intubating Conditions in Young (18 - 40 Years) and Elderly (≥ 80 Years) Patients.

The aim of this study is to determine the onset time, duration of action and effect on intubation conditions of cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg in elderly patients with age ≥ 80 years and in young patients aged 18 - 40 years.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to determine the onset time, duration of action and effect on intubation conditions of cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg in elderly patients with age ≥ 80 years and in young patients aged 18 - 40 years. The hypothesis of this study is that cisatracurium administered in elderly patients (>80 years) has a longer onset time and duration of action compared to younger patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Onset time

    the time from the start of the injection of cisatracurium to train-of-four (TOF) count of 0 monitored by acceleromyography

    Measured: within 10 minutes after administration

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of action

    Duration of action is defined as time from start of cisatracurium injection to reappearance of TOF ratio > 0.9.

    Measured: within 120 minutes after administration of cisatracurium

  2. intubation conditions

    intubation conditions are rated according to intubating difficulty score IDS when TOF-ratio is 0.

    Measured: within 10 minutes after administration of cistracurium

  3. intubation conditions

    intubation conditions are rated according to Fuchs-Buder score when TOF-ratio is 0.

    Measured: within 10 minutes after administration of cisatracurium

  4. Laryngeal morbidity

    After 24 hours patients are asked about hoarseness and sore throat. Patients who experience either or both will be called 3 days postoperatively again. These two variables are assessed using a numeric ranking scale from 0 to 10.

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

  5. Amount of ephedrine or metaoxedrine administered

    If ephedrine or metaoxedrine is administered after induction of anaesthesia and until the patient is ready for properly positioning for surgery, it will be noted in the CRF, as well as the amount administered. Changes in blood pressure or heart rate are treated according to local guidelines.

    Measured: within 10 minutes after administration of cisatracurium

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Onset Time of Cisatracurium and Duration of Action of Cisatracurium, run by Matias Vested at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 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 26 Jan 2022. 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 Denmark. 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?

Onset time (time frame: within 10 minutes after administration). 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 NCT04921735, 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 26 Jan 2022.
