Comparison of Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 Scores Between Propofol and Remimazolam Anesthesia

May 30, 2022 updated by: Young Song, Gangnam Severance Hospital

Comparison of Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 Scores According to the Use of Anesthetics During Total Intravenous Anesthesia in Female Patients Undergoing Thyroid Surgery

Remimazolam is a ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine that is rapidly metabolized in the body by tissue esterase and not accumulates in the body for long periods of infusion. In addition, similar to other benzodiazepines, it is possible to reverse the sedation and anesthetic effects through flumazenil. It has no injection pain and infusion syndrome compared with propofol. There is no study to investigate overall postoperative functional recovery via QoR-15 in patients receiving TIVA using remimazolam. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is any difference in the quality of postoperative recovery between propofol-based and remimazolam-based total intravenous anesthesia in female patients undergoing thyroidectomy. The QoR-15 questionnaire score, pain, nausea/vomiting, and the frequency of complications are evaluated and compared between the two groups.

Study Overview

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.

Study Type

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.

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
postoperative day 1(POD1) Quality of Recovery(QoR)-15 questionnaire score
Time Frame: Postoperative day 1
Quality of life will be evaluated using Quality of Recovery(QoR)-15 questionnaire score at postoperative day 1(minimum value : 0, maximum value : 150, the higher the score, the better the result)
Postoperative day 1

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.
