Respiratory Depression During an Analgosedation Combining Remifentanil and Ketamine in TCI for Oocyte Retrieval

March 9, 2018 updated by: Luc Barvais, Erasme University Hospital

Study of Respiratory Depression During Analgosedation Technique Combining Remifentanyl and Ketamine in TCI for Oocyte Retrieval

This study evaluates the effect of the addition of ketamine to a conscious sedation protocol including remifentanil during oocyte retrieval. The investigators will have 2 groups with different target effect site concentrations, namely 150 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml.

Study Overview

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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

The actual protocol for conscious sedation during oocyte retrieval in at the Erasmus hospital (Brussels) consists of Remifentanil in TCI-mode, with premedication by Midazolam. However, episodes of bradypnaea with or without desaturation are still common.

The primary objective is to observe if with the addition of ketamine, it is possible to significantly reduce the dose of Remifentanil, in order to avoid episodes of respiratory depression caused by the opioid.

The secondary outcomes measured, will be the pain levels experienced by the patient, the sedation level, and the satisfaction of the patients after the procedure.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

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.
ketamine 150 ng/ml
The first group will receive the classical premedication with 2 mg of Midazolam. A bolus dose of Ketamine will be given, then to be titrated in TCI mode with a target concentration of 150 ng/ml. Right after, the Remifentanil TCI will be started at a concentration of 1 ng/ml and the procedure can begin.

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
respiratory depression
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 2 months
respiratory rate (number of inspiration per minute)
through study completion, an average of 2 months
Respiratory depression
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 2 months
SpO2 (%)
through study completion, an average of 2 months

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
pain
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 2 months
EVA
through study completion, an average of 2 months
patient satisfaction
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 2 months
satisfaction scale: 1=unsatisfied. 2=average satisfaction 3=Satisfied 4=very satisfied. The higher the value, the better. Additionally, we ask the patients if they would choose the same anesthetic method, should it be necessary to repeat the procedure. If yes, it is considered a better outcome.

Values higher than 3 represents a better outcome.
