About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Preoperative Melatonin on Emergence Agitation After Herniorrhaphy Surgeries in Pediatrics

efficacy of melatonin premedication on emergence agitation in children undergoing herniorrhaphy surgeries

Read the detailed description

Before administration of the oral premedication, each patient's baseline heart rate, mean systemic arterial pressure, pulse oximetry, and sedation score (yale preoperative score) will be recorded All the anesthetic and surgical techniques will be standardized. On arrival at the operating room, continuous electrocardiogram, non-invasive blood pressure and pulse oximetry monitors will be applied. Baseline readings of all the parameters will be recorded.

Sevoflurane 3-8 MAC will be used for induction of anaesthesia. While intravenous line is inserted, atropine 0.01 mg/kg, atracurium 0.0.05 mg/kg is given. Anaesthesia maintainance done by 1.5-2 MAC sevoflurane. At the end of operation discontinuation of inhalational anesthesia will be done and muscle relaxant will be reversed by neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg and atropine 0.02 mg/kg. Then children were transferred to recovery till complete recovery Parameters assessed are induction time (IT) time from the start of sevoflurane inhalation to the start of endtracheal tube insertion, duration of anesthesia (DA) time from the start of sevoflurane inhalation to discontinuation of sevoflurane inhalation, time up to spontaneous eye opening (time from removal of endotracheal tube till spontaneous eye opening), duration of stay in recovery and any side effects

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Melatonin 5 MG/15 ML Oral Solution 0.05 mg/kg, Melatonin 5 MG/15 ML Oral Solution 0.2mg/kg and Melatonin 5 MG/15 ML Oral Solution 0.4mg/kg in people with Emergence Agitation, run by Menoufia University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

emergence behaviour (time frame: 5 min, 15 min and 30 min after arrival to recovery). 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 12 Oct 2023.
