Analysis of Cisatracurium Consumption in Balanced Anesthesia With 1% Sevoflurane, and With Only Sevoflurane, Using a Closed-loop Computer Controlled System Infusion.

November 28, 2012 updated by: Joomye Shehzaad, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital
The aim in this study was to quantify the difference in cisatracurium and sufentanil consumption, and its recovery period, when patients are under balanced general anesthesia with 1% sevoflurane and patients under only sevoflurane general anesthesia, using a closed loop computer control infusion. Investigators further investigated this effect on its recovery period and sufentanyl consumption.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

156 patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II were assigned to three groups. The patients were all on schedule for elective general surgery under general anesthesia with duration of at two to four hours. All patients were induced with Etomidate (0.2mg/kg), Midazolam (0.05-0.1mg/kg), Sufentanil (0.3-0.5µg/kg) and a bolus dose of Cisatracurium (0.15mg/kg). Patients were aged between 20 and 65. The maintenance of anesthesia in each group varies as follows: Patients in Group 1 were all maintained with Total Intravenous Anesthesia, Group 2 with Sevoflurane at 1% and propofol infusion, Group 3 with only sevoflurane. Muscle paralysis is maintained using a closed-loop computer gated infusion of Cisatracurium which kept T1 <1% by giving increasing the infusion rate intra-operatively when required. Analgesia was maintained by intermittent bolus dose of 10-20 µg of Sufentanil.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Sham Comparator: Total Intravenous Anesthesia
Only propofol infusion is used for maintenance of anesthesia keeping Bispectral Index (BIS) between 45-55.
Drug: Propofol
In this group the maintenance of anesthesia is maintained by only propofol infusion.
Other Names:
  • Total Intravenous Anesthesia
Active Comparator: 1% Sevoflurane
1% Sevoflurane with propofol infusion is used for maintenance. BIS is kept between 45-55 by adjusting propofol infusion.
Drug: 1% Sevoflurane
In this group of patients, the maintenance of anesthesia is done by 1% sevoflurane + propofol infusion. Propofol infusion is adjusted according to the Bispectral Index.
Active Comparator: Sevoflurane
Only Sevoflurane is used for maintenance keeping BIS between 45-55
Drug: Sevoflurane
In this group only sevoflurane was used for maintenance of anesthesia. the dose of sevoflurane is adjusted to maintain Bispectral Index within 45 and 55.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cisatracurium consumption rate.
Time Frame: At the time of surgery.
Measurements were done intraoperatively. Investigators obtained data from the closed loop computer system, from which the intra-operative consumption of cisatracurium were obtained from each patient. Data were collected only during surgery. Each patient had different cisatracurium consumption rate, and the mean consumption rate of the patients within the same group were calculated, and compared with the means from the other groups.
At the time of surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Analysis of Means of Recovery Index.
Time Frame: 30 minutes post operative.
Recovery Index was the time for the Train-Of-Four ratio (TOF) to increase from 25% to 75%. The TOF ratio was recorded every minute till it reached 90%. Time taken for each patient was from 5 to 25 minutes. Investigators compared the average recovery index of patients from each group.
30 minutes post operative.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sufentanil Consumption.
Time Frame: At time of surgery
Measurements were done intraoperatively, from which the intra-operative consumption of sufentanil were obtained from each patient. Data were collected only during surgery. Investigators compared the average sufentanil consumption between between groups.
