Trial summary

With the introduction of technology into our lives, we come across two different anesthesia management modules in anesthesia machines.

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Automated Control Anesthesia and Manual Control Anesthesia Methods İn Minimal Flow Anesthesia in the Mindray A9®

With the introduction of technology into our lives, we come across two different anesthesia management modules in anesthesia machines. The first of these is the traditional method, the manual controlled anesthesia technique; the other is the automatic controlled anesthesia technique. In our daily practice, both anesthesia techniques can be used in patients who have undergone general anesthesia. These two techniques can be used in both high-flow anesthesia and low-flow anesthesia applications.

Read the detailed description

In the manual technique, the inspired and exhaled gas concentrations are regulated by the anesthetists manually by the fresh gas flow during general anaesthesia. When administered manually, low-flow anesthesia requires the attention and time of the anesthesiologist, especially the difference between the gas concentrations set in the anesthesia machine and the respiratory system, and the delay between changes in fresh gas concentrations and the end tidal fraction (EtAA) of the anesthetic agent. The most important risks of manually controlled low-flow anesthesia are hypoxia and awareness that may occur due to low doses of inhaler anesthetic agents.

In the automatic controlled anesthesia technique, it is a method in which the values desired by the anesthetists during general anesthesia are determined at the beginning of anesthesia and automatically adjusted by the anesthesia device without any additional intervention. After intubation, anesthetists set 3 parameters on the anesthesia device: inspiratory or expiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2- End tidal O2 concentration), anesthetic agent concentration (MAC or End-tidal Anesthetic agent concentration) and fresh gas flow amount. With this method, it is aimed to provide safer and more stable anesthesia. In addition, it has been stated in many previous studies that automatic control anesthesia technique reduces anesthetic gas consumption and less anesthesiologist intervention is needed to reach target values.

In our study, we aimed to compare the safety, efficiency and cost aspects of automatic controlled anesthesia and manual control methods in achieving intraoperative target anesthetic and oxygen concentrations. We hypothesized that anesthesia applied with the end-tidal control method would have a lower cost, less workload, and similar anesthetic depth with the manual control method.

What is being measured

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

  1. ET-AA

    searching the time needed to reach the target end tidal anesthetic agent (ET-AA) concentration and the amount of anesthetic agent consumption

    Measured: 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. target values

    number of adjustments required to stay within target values and hemodynamic stability

    Measured: 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anesthesia and Sevoflurane, run by Sakarya University at 2 sites 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

ET-AA (time frame: 10 minutes). 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 NCT05554263, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 25 Aug 2023.
