About this study

Official title: The Effect of Propofol Induction Using Total Body Weight and Lean Body Weight Obtained by Tomographic Measurements; on the Depth of Anesthesia in Patients Receiving General Anesthesia

Propofol has significant hemodynamic side effects. It is a lipophilic agent and is generally used at a dose of 2-2.5 mg/kg for induction. In patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25, it can lead to serious complications. This patient group often has comorbidities such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, stroke, and obstructive sleep apnea.

Hemodynamic profile changes are influenced by both the rate of propofol administration and the total dose. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the appropriate dose and infusion rate of propofol during anesthesia induction.

The primary aim of this study is to compare the effects of propofol induction doses, determined based on total body weight and lean body weight (calculated using tomography), on anesthesia depth using BIS and SedLine monitoring in patients with BMI >25.

The secondary aim of the study is to compare propofol induction doses calculated using two different methods in terms of:

  • Mean arterial pressure (MAP),
  • Frequency of hypotension (MAP <65),
  • Frequency of Trendelenburg position or vasopressor requirement and their response,
  • Tachycardia (heart rate >100 bpm),
  • Frequency of hypertension (SBP >140).

Additionally, the sensitivity and delay rates of BIS and SedLine monitoring in determining anesthesia depth were compared.

A total of 120 patients undergoing general anesthesia for urological surgeries at our hospital were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups (Group T/Group L). All patients were taken to the operating room, and in addition to routine monitoring, BIS and SedLine monitoring were provided. All patients received 1 mcg/kg of fentanyl.

  • Group T received propofol at a dose of 2-2.5 mg/kg based on total body weight.
  • Group L received propofol at a dose of 2-2.5 mg/kg based on lean body weight, which was calculated from CT imaging by a radiologist.
  • Propofol was administered at a rate of 100 mg/min.

The laryngeal mask will be placed once an adequate depth of anesthesia is achieved.

All data were recorded at 2-minute intervals for 6 minutes before and after induction. The collected data were statistically analyzed for comparison.

What is being measured

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

  1. anaesthesia debt

    Anesthesia depth was assessed using BIS and SedLine monitoring before and after induction and recorded every 2 minutes.

    Measured: 30 minute

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. mean arterial pressure

    Mean arterial pressure was measured before and after induction and recorded every 2 minutes.

    Measured: 30 minute

  2. trendelenburg

    The need for Trendelenburg position due to hypotension before and after induction was recorded every 2 minutes.

    Measured: 30 minute

  3. vasopressor

    The need for vasopressor due to hypotension before and after induction was recorded every 2 minutes.

    Measured: 30 minute

  4. heart

    Heart rate was recorded every 2 minutes before and after induction, allowing the rate of tachycardia development to be monitored as a study outcome.

    Measured: 30 minute

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 16 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 6 Mar 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

anaesthesia debt (time frame: 30 minute). 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 NCT06862349, which also lists 4 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 6 Mar 2025.
