About this study

Official title: Postoperative Effects of Propofol Versus Sevoflurane Anesthesia During Elective Non-Cardiac Surgeries. A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: The choice of appropriate anesthetics is essential to protect brain function, decrease perioperative complications, and provide high-quality care, and better quality of life.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of propofol versus sevoflurane in patients undergoing elective, non-cardiac operations under general anesthesia.

Methods: This was a randomized (1:1), parallel, phase four clinical trial; carried out on 44 patients, who were candidates for elective, non-cardiac operations under general anesthesia at our hospital. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups in which anesthesia was maintained with propofol infusion in group P and sevoflurane inhalation in group S.

Being tested
Propofol 10 MG/ML Injection, Sevoflurane Inhalation Liquid
Keywords
Cognitive function, General anesthesia, Inflammatory response, Oxidative stress, Propofol, Sevoflurane

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Propofol 10 MG/ML Injection and Sevoflurane Inhalation Liquid in people with General Anesthetic Drug Adverse Reaction, run by Damanhour Teaching Hospital 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 7 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 5 Feb 2025. 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?

Mean and Standard deviation of Neuron Specific Enolase enzyme (µg/L) in blood serum (mean±SD) (time frame: 24 hours after the end of operation). 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 5 Feb 2025.
