About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Different PEEP Levels on Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation in Patients Undergoing Elective Craniotomy for Excision of Brain Tumors ; Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The goal of this prospective single-blind randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of two different positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels on regional cerebral oxygen saturation in patients scheduled for craniotomy due to supratentorial masses.

The main question it aims to answer is that how high PEEP level effects the regional cerebral oxygen saturation in patients with high intracranial pressure due to mass effect. Patients will be divided into two groups as Group low PEEP (5 cmH2O) and Group high PEEP (10 cmH2O). Researchers will compare the changes of regional cerebral oxygen saturations between two groups by near infra-red spectroscopy.

Read the detailed description

In this prospective single-blind study, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system (ASA) I and II patients aged older than 18 years undergoing craniotomy will be enrolled for the study. Patients will be divided into two groups with computer-based randomization technique. Written and verbal approval will be taken from all patients. Premedication will not be used. Patients will be monitorized by standard non-invasive monitorization (electrocardiography, non-invasive blood pressure measurement, peripheral oxygen saturation) in the operating room. Cerebral/somatic oximeter, near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) sensor will be placed on the frontotemporal area and regional cerebral oxygen saturation will be monitorized continuously. Remifentanil infusion with a dose of 0.25 mcg/kg/min will be started two minutes before the induction. After preoxygenation with 6 L/min oxygen for 5 minutes, general anesthesia induction for patients in both groups will be held with intravenous 2 mg/kg propofol. Rocuronium bromide (0.6 mg/kg) will be used for muscle relaxation. Endotracheal intubation will be performed. Controlled mechanical ventilation will be used during the surgery. Invasive arterial blood pressure monitorization will be done and a central venous catheter will be placed in both groups.

In group low PEEP, the patients' settings of mechanical ventilation will be as tidal volume 6-8 mL/kg, inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) 0.4, PEEP 5 cmH2O. Frequency will be set according to the end tidal carbon dioxide pressure (ETCO2) where it will be 30-32 mmHg.

In group high PEEP, the patients' settings of mechanical ventilation will be as tidal volume 6-8 mL/kg, inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) 0.4, PEEP 10 cmH2O. Frequency will be set according to the end tidal carbon dioxide pressure (ETCO2) where it will be 30-32 mmHg.

Remifentanil with a dose of 0.05-2 mcg kg/min and propofol with a dose of 50-200 mcg/kg/min will be infused for general anesthesia maintenance in both groups. Dose of remifentanil infusion will be changed according to the blood pressure. If the mean arterial blood pressure and/or heart rate will decrease to 20% of the baseline mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate, the infusion dose will be lowered. If this decrease in heart rate will be over 25%, intravenous 0.5 mg atropin will be administered. If the mean arterial blood pressure will be under 55 mmHg, intravenous 5 mg ephedrine will be administered. If the mean arterial blood pressure will continue to decrease, PEEP will be lowered. If the peripheral oxygen saturation will be under 92%, the inspired oxygen fraction or PEEP will be increased. In these conditions, the patient will be out of study.

1 gr paracetamol will be given intravenously for pain relief. Sugammadex will be used with a dose of 4 mg/kg for extubation.

Regional cerebral oxygen saturation measures will be recorded nine (9) times during the study; pre-induction (period 1), post-induction (period 2), skull pinning (period 3), before dura opening (period 4), after dura opening (period 5), surgical resection of the mass (period 6), dura closure (period 7), end of the surgery (period 8) and end of anesthesia (period 9).

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?

regional cerebral oxygen saturation (SrO2) period 1 (time frame: Pre-induction). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05961917, which also lists 3 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 13 Aug 2024.
