Association of Type of Anesthetic and Outcomes in Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement

August 4, 2022 updated by: Yale University

Pilot Analysis of the Association Between Types of Anesthetic and Outcomes in Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement

This study proposes to perform a descriptive analysis and pilot observational study looking at the types and quantity of anesthetic agents used and their associations with outcomes among patients scheduled to receive transfemoral aortic valve replacements (TAVR) at Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH).

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

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.

Detailed Description

This study proposes to perform a descriptive analysis and pilot observational study looking at the types and quantity of anesthetic agents used and their associations with outcomes among patients scheduled to receive TAVR at YNHH.

Hypothesis 1: TAVR surgery done under monitored anesthesia care are performed using some combination of the following anesthetics: dexmedetomidine, propofol, fentanyl, and midazolam.

Hypothesis 2: Age-adjusted dosing of these agents will be insufficient to account for extreme age after controlling for preoperative comorbid status.

Hypothesis 3: The rate of conversion to general anesthesia will be unrelated to the type of conscious sedation used.

Hypothesis 4: ICU length of stay, delirium, hospital length of stay, and length of hospital stay will be shorter for patients who were sedated using dexmedetomidine vs those without.

Research Plan: The research will be done via chart review and analysis of data already contained in the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group databases at Yale. The possible risks are primarily the risk to privacy that is inherent in any retrospective chart review. The benefit may be to suggest areas of future study to improve sedation practices for TAVR at Yale and elsewhere. Information recorded will include demographic and preoperative medical assessment from prior to the TAVR, the anesthetic record, and the post-operative course of recovery for patients undergoing TAVR. These data will include age, gender, comorbidities, laboratory values, vital signs, and the results of imaging studies as well as other records potentially related to the above hospitalization.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who underwent TAVR under a plan for conscious sedation with monitored anesthetic care rather than general anesthesia.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who underwent TAVR at YNHH under planned conscious sedation with monitored anesthetic care

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who received monitored anesthesia care without the receipt of any study intervention drug (propofol, fentanyl, midazolam, or dexmedetomidine).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Propofol-dominant Sedation
Patients receiving propofol infusion for TAVR as the primary drug for sedation.
Drug: Propofol
A propofol-dominant anesthetic will be defined as an anesthetic that included a continuous infusion of propofol within 15 minutes of anesthesia start. This definition was subsequently modified to include patients who received propofol infusion but not dexmedetomidine.
Other Names:
  • Diprivan
Dexmedetomidine-dominant Sedation
Patients receiving dexmedetomidine infusion for TAVR as the primary drug for sedation.
Drug: Propofol
A propofol-dominant anesthetic will be defined as an anesthetic that included a continuous infusion of propofol within 15 minutes of anesthesia start. This definition was subsequently modified to include patients who received propofol infusion but not dexmedetomidine.
Other Names:
  • Diprivan
Drug: Dexmedetomidine with propofol
A dexmedetomidine- dominant anesthetic will be defined as an anesthetic that included a continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine within 15 minutes of anesthesia start. This group was subsequently modified in light of retrospective data collection to specify a group receiving dexmedetomidine in combination with propofol.
Other Names:
  • Precedex

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
Procedure Length
Time Frame: During surgery
Procedure length will be collected from retrospective analysis of charts.
During 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
ICU Length of Stay
Time Frame: From the conclusion of surgery until patient leaves the ICU, up to 2 weeks
ICU length of stay will be collected from retrospective analysis of charts.
