About this study

Official title: Effect of Inhalational Anesthesia Versus Total Intravenous Anesthesia on Blood Glucose Level in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Undergoing Thoracic Surgery : a Comparative Study

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and inhalational anesthesia (IHA) as maintenance anesthesia on blood glucose level and complications in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing thoracic surgery . All participants had to understand and give written informed consent , and ethical committee approval (of Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University) will be obtained before participants allocation.

Read the detailed description
  • Type of Study: prospective , randomized .
  • Study Settings: Ain Shams University hospitals, Cairo, Egypt.
  • Study period: 12 months starting from janurary 2024 .
  • Study Population: All adult type 2 diabetic patients (30-70 year old) with class II,III based on the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status undergoing elective thoracic surgeries will be randomly assigned into one of the following groups using computer generated codes and opaque sealed envelopes:
  1. Group A will receive total inravenous anesthesia (TIVA).
  2. Group B will receive inhalational anesthesia (IHA)
Being tested
TIVA, Inhalational anesthesia
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

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

  • TIVADrug

    Also called Fentanyl, propofol

    Anesthesia will be maintained by total intravenous anesthesia with propofol infusion (4 to 12 mcg/kg/min) and fentanyl infusion (1-2mcg /kg/hour) that will be stopped 30 min before the end of the operation ,The heart rate and blood pressure will be maintained within the range of ±20% of the baseline

  • Inhalational anesthesiaDrug

    Anesthesia will be maintained with inhaled isoflurane, Iso-MAC from (0.7 to 1.4%)(Hawkley, Preston, and Maani 2018) and fentanyl infusion (1-2mcg /kg/hour) that will be stopped 30 min before the end of the operation ,The heart rate and blood pressure will be maintained within the range of ±20% of the baseline

Study groups in NCT06613893
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group A will receive total inravenous anesthesia (TIVA)Active comparatorpatients in this group will receive total intravenous anesthesia using propofol infusion after induction of anesthesia, tested variables will be measured according to the protocol
Group B will receive inhalational anesthesia (IHA)Active comparatorpatients in this group will receive inhalational anesthesia using isoflurane, tested variables will be measured according to the protocol
Receives: Drug: Inhalational anesthesia

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood glucose levels in milligrams per decilitre (mg/dl) at different time points

    Blood glucose levels in milligrams per deciliter at different time points: preoperative (T0), post-intubation (T1), 1st , 2nd and 3rd hour after the start of the operation (T3, T4 and T5, respectively), 1st hour after the operation (T6) , 2nd hour after the operation (T7), 1st and 2nd day after the operation (T8, T9)

    Measured: Immediate preoperative till 48 hours after recovery from anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Serum insulin level in picomoles per litre (pmol/l)

    serum insulin level (pmol/l) 30 min before and 30 min after surgery

    Measured: 30 min before induction of anesthesia and 30 min after surgery and recovery from anesthesia

  2. Serum cortisol level in micrograms per decilitre (mcg/dl)

    serum cortisol level (mcg/dl) 30 min before and 30 min after surgery

    Measured: 30 min before induction of anesthesia and 30 min after surgery and recovery from anesthesia

  3. The incidence of postoperative complications

    The complications that will be tested Acute coronary syndrome. Stroke. acute kidney injury. stress gastric ulcer. surgical site infection. Hypoglycaemia (blood glucose level below 70 mg/dL). Hyperglycemia (fasting blood glucose level greater than 125mg/dL while 2 hours postprandial greater than 200 mg/dL).

    Postoperative nausea and vomiting . postoperative pulmonary complications including atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory failure

    Measured: The complications will be assessed on the first, third and seveth post-operative day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TIVA and Inhalational anesthesia in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Thoracic Surgery, run by Ain Shams University 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 5 inclusion and 12 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 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.

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?

Blood glucose levels in milligrams per decilitre (mg/dl) at different time points (time frame: Immediate preoperative till 48 hours after recovery from anesthesia). 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 29 May 2025.
