About this study

( post operative pain between intravenous infusion ketofol and standard inhalational general anesthesia in abdominal cancer surgeries )

Read the detailed description

ketofol, which is a combination of ketamine and propofol, has been increasingly used because the advantages and disadvantages of propofol and ketamine complement each other and increase their effectiveness. Recently, the use of a combination of ketamine and propofol (ketofol) as a sedative has been attracting attention in various clinical fields. Theoretically, the combination of ketamine and propofol can reduce the dose of each drug and compensate for the disadvantages of the other through the antagonistic characteristics of both drugs, resulting in beneficial results for successful sedation

. Most of the time propofol and ketamine have been used as an induction agent in adult surgical patients but propofol may cause cardiorespiratory depression while ketamine increases heart rate and arterial blood pressure. On the other hand, the clinical effects of propofol and ketamine seem to be complementary. Ketofol is most commonly used for procedural sedation hence exploring its effectiveness for induction will be paramount for the clinical care of surgical patients Inhalation anesthetics (nitrous oxide, halothane, isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, most commonly used agents in practice today) are used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in the operating room. The volatile anesthetics (halothane, isoflurane, desflurane, and sevoflurane) are liquids at room temperature and require the use of vaporizers for inhalational administration. Nitrous Oxide is already under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. All inhalational anesthetics provide amnesia and immobility, except for nitrous oxide, which also provides analgesia. Inhaled anesthetics are commonly used in combination with IV anesthetic agents. These agents have FDA approval for use as a general anesthetic and sedation agent in the operating room. Inhaled anesthetic agents have also had use in the intensive care unit, but this is not an FDA-approved indication. The primary applications of inhaled anesthetic agents in the ICU are sedation, refractory bronchospasm, and control of status epilepticus unresponsive to anticonvulsant medications.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT06265948
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
The sample will be randomly assigned into one of two equal groups ((Group-I (nSample size calculation was carried out using G*Power 3 software (Faul et al., 2007)1 calculated minimum sample of 80 patient candidate for cancer surgery will be needed. The sample will be randomly assigned into one of two equal groups ((Group-I (n=40): will receive standard general anesthesia as control, and Group III (n=40): will receive Ketofol in addition to the standard general anesthesia. The calculated sample will be needed to detect an effect size of 0.1 in the RM-ANOVA (within group-between groups and interaction) on repeated measurements (every 2-hours postoperatively) for the mean VAS score, with an error probability of 0.05 and 95% power.

What is being measured

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

  1. post operative pain

    pain according to VAS score

    Measured: two hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Cancer, run by Assiut University.

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 11 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 20 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 khaled Hussien (01029314432, kh1357kha@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

post operative pain (time frame: two hours). 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 20 Feb 2024.
