About this study

This is a randomized, prospective, double-blinded (patient and outcome-assessor) trial. Our goal is to assess efficacy of Bridge Therapy (versus sham bridge therapy) to prevent emergence agitation following general anesthesia.

Primary Objective: Activation of Bridge Therapy from the time of the pre incision "time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit) is associated with reduced frequency and intensity of emergence agitation.

Secondary Objective: Bridge Therapy activation will also result in a lower incidence of rescue pharmacologic treatment of agitation.

Tertiary Objective: Activation of Bridge Therapy during a stable anesthetic state is associated with a reduced Patient State Index as measured on Sedline

Being tested
Bridge Therapy, Sham Therapy

What participants receive

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

  • Bridge TherapyDevice

    After the patient has been intubated in the operating room - the Bridge device intervention will be applied to the subject's ear by a trained study team member. At the time of the pre-incision pause, Initiation of the intervention (Bridge therapy) will begin and will be continued throughout the surgery. The intervention will continue for 24 hours after extubation.

  • Sham TherapyDevice

    After the patient has been intubated in the operating room - the Bridge device intervention will be applied to the subject's ear by a trained study team member. At the time of the pre-incision pause, Initiation of the intervention (Sham therapy) will begin and will be continued throughout the surgery. The intervention will continue for 24 hours after extubation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Emergence agitation

    Frequency of emergence agitation following general anesthesia will be collected every 15 minutes in the PACU. Once discharged from the PACU this will be measured every 12 hours.

    Measured: From time of the pre incision "time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit)

  2. Emergence agitation

    Intensity of emergence agitation following general anesthesia will be measured by the Riker Sedation Agitation Scale (RSAS). The maximum score is 7, the minimum score is 1.

    A high scores means a worse outcome (higher agitation).

    Measured: time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rescue pharmacologic treatment of agitation

    Incidence of rescue pharmacologic treatment of agitation following general anesthesia. This will be measured by the number of times rescue pharmacological treatment was given.

    Measured: From time of the pre incision "time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bridge Therapy in people with Emergence Delirium and Agitation, Emergence, run by University of Washington.

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 10 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Emergence agitation (time frame: From time of the pre incision "time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit)). The study lists 2 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 16 Oct 2024.
