Trial summary

In the experimental group, norepinephrine at a concentration of 5 mcg/ml is preemptively administered through peripheral venous catheter with a size of 20 G or more from the time of anesthesia induction to the end of anesthetic administration. The norepinephrine is not preemptively administered in the control group. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect pf Preemptive Low Dose Norepinephrine Infusion on Hemodynamic Stability in Brain Tumor Resection

In the experimental group, norepinephrine at a concentration of 5 mcg/ml is preemptively administered through peripheral venous catheter with a size of 20 G or more from the time of anesthesia induction to the end of anesthetic administration. The norepinephrine is not preemptively administered in the control group. For anesthesia, total intravenous anesthesia using propofol and remifentanil is performed. During anesthesia, the injection rate of the test drug is allowed to be adjusted according to the blood pressure within the permissible range, and anesthesia management such as fluid infusion, blood transfusions, and drug administration is performed according to the judgment of the anesthesiologist, and there are no restrictions.

The achievement of hemodynamic stability during anesthesia is judged by the percentage (%) of the time when the target blood pressure falls outside of 90-110%, 80-120%, and 70-130% of the target blood pressure during the total anesthesia duration. The number of hemodynamic unstability occurred, and the number of patients with hemodynamic unstability are also sought. The incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups is also compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. the percentage (%) of the time when the target blood pressure falls outside of 90-110%, 80-120%, and 70-130% of the target blood pressure during the total anesthesia duration

    Measured: during the total anesthesia duration (maximum up to 24 hours)

  2. The number of hemodynamic unstability occurred

    ※ hemodynamic unstability is defined when the target blood pressure falls outside of 90-110%, 80-120%, and 70-130% of the target blood pressure

    Measured: during the total anesthesia duration (maximum up to 24 hours)

  3. The number of patients with hemodynamic unstability

    ※ hemodynamic unstability is defined when the target blood pressure falls outside of 90-110%, 80-120%, and 70-130% of the target blood pressure

    Measured: during the total anesthesia duration (maximum up to 24 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing norepinephrine in people with Brain Tumor, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 9 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 18 Apr 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 South Korea. 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 Hye Jin Kim (82-2-2224-4464, jackiedi@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the percentage (%) of the time when the target blood pressure falls outside of 90-110%, 80-120%, and 70-130% of the target blood pressure during the total anesthesia duration (time frame: during the total anesthesia duration (maximum up to 24 hours)). The study lists 3 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 18 Apr 2023.
