About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effect of Rocuronium Dosing Based on Ideal, Corrected or Total Body Weight on Rapid Sequence Intubation With Priming on Neuromuscular Blockage and Intubation Condition in Elderly Patients.

With the prolongation of life expectancy, the frequency of surgical intervention and anesthesia increases in elderly patients. The rapid Sequence Intubation(RSI) technique is preferred in patients with aspiration risk and who will undergo general anesthesia, especially in the pandemic period, to reduce or eliminate the aerosolization of respiratory secretions. The use of rocuronium at a dose of 1 mg/kg in RSI also causes prolongation of the recovery of neuromuscular block. This study aimed to compare the intubation conditions and train-of-four count(TOFC) 1-2 times of the rocuronium doses with priming according to ideal body weight(IBW), corrected body weight(CBW), and total body weight(TBW) in RSI of patients aged >65 years.

Read the detailed description

The number of elderly patients (>65 y) increases, and a large proportion of these patients will require surgery and anesthesia at some point. Changes in the neuromuscular junction, organ systems, and cardiac output that occur with aging cause changes in response to neuromuscular blockers. One of the reasons for rapid sequence intubation(RSI) preference is to reduce or eliminate aerosolization of respiratory secretions during general anesthesia and airway manipulation in surgical cases during the pandemic period. Guidelines regarding this subject recommend securing the airway quickly with RSI, and it is reported that aerosol production would decrease with this method. This study aimed to compare the intubation conditions and the train-of-four count (TOFC) 1 and 2 response times of the patients aged 65 and above, who were administered rocuronium at a priming dose (0.06 mg/kg) according to ideal body weight(IBW), corrected body weight(CBW), and total body weight (TBW) before induction, followed by administration of 0.94 mg/kg rocuronium 3 minutes after the anesthesia induction and intubated 45 seconds later.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percent of excellent intubation condition

    Score 1: Poor jaw relaxation/ Active resistance to blade/closing vokal kord/ Severe coughing or bucking/ Vigorous limb movement Score 2: Acceptable jaw relaxation/ Intermediate vokal cord moving/ slight limb and diaphram movement score 3: relaxed laryngoscopy/ abducted vocal cords/ no limb and diphragm movement

    Measured: During intubation from start to finish of the study

  2. TOF value during intubation procedure

    Train of four monitoring during induction and intubation

    Measured: During intubation from start to finish of the study

  3. Time to TOFR equal to zero

    Time from rocuronium induction to TOFR equal to zero

    Measured: During intubation from start to finish of the study

  4. Time to TOFC equal to 1

    Time from rocuronium induction to TOFc equal to 1

    Measured: During intubation from start to finish of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Train of four(TOF) in people with Rapid Sequence Induction and Rapid Sequence Intubation, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent 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 3 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 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 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nadide Aysun Postacı (+905323520383, aysunposta@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The percent of excellent intubation condition (time frame: During intubation from start to finish of the study). 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 26 May 2022.
