Effects of Glycopyrrolate on Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability in Patients With Different Basic Heart Rate

January 23, 2024 updated by: Zhuan Zhang

Glycopyrrolate is an anticholinergic medication commonly used in respiratory medicine for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma, and other conditions . In the perioperative period, it is often administered before anesthesia to reduce secretions in the salivary glands, bronchi, and pharynx . It is used during the recovery period to counteract the muscarinic effects of anticholinesterase inhibitors and can also be employed to prevent/treat vagal reflexes and related arrhythmias induced by surgery or medications .

Heart rate (HR) is influenced by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The baseline HR of different patients may vary due to differing levels of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve activity within the body. It remains unclear whether patients with different baseline HRs exhibit varying degrees of HR elevation after the administration of glycopyrrolate(i.e.,the parasympathetic activity in vivo is antagonized). The primary aim of this study is to explore the impact of glycopyrrolate administration on HR in patients with different baseline HRs. The secondary objective is to investigate the effects of glycopyrrolate on heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with different baseline HR.

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.

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.
Experimental: Group L
The HR at 10 minutes after the start of surgery was considered as the baseline HR. Patients were divided into two groups based on their baseline HR: Group L: Baseline HR 40-60 beats/min.
Drug: Glycopyrrolate
At the timepoint of 10 min after operation beginning (T1), the basic HR, MAP and the HRV frequency indexes were recorded. Then glycopyrrolate 0.006 mg/kg was injected intravenously in Group L.
Drug: Glycopyrrolate
At the timepoint of 10 min after operation beginning (T1), the basic HR, MAP and the HRV frequency indexes were recorded. Then glycopyrrolate 0.006 mg/kg was injected intravenously in Group H.
Experimental: Group H
The HR at 10 minutes after the start of surgery was considered as the baseline HR. Patients were divided into two groups based on their baseline HR: Group H: Baseline HR 60-100 beats/min.
Drug: Glycopyrrolate
At the timepoint of 10 min after operation beginning (T1), the basic HR, MAP and the HRV frequency indexes were recorded. Then glycopyrrolate 0.006 mg/kg was injected intravenously in Group L.

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
The maximum increase of HR
Time Frame: before induction of general anesthesia; 10 min after operation beginning; 30 min after glycopyrrolate injection
Calculation of the maximum increase of HR (∆HR): The increase in heart rate (HR) at 30 minutes after the administration of glycopyrrolate (T2) compared to 10 minutes after the start of surgery (T1) was calculated as the maximum increase of HR.
before induction of general anesthesia; 10 min after operation beginning; 30 min after glycopyrrolate injection
the maximum increase ratio of HR
Time Frame: before induction of general anesthesia; 10 min after operation beginning; 30 min after glycopyrrolate injection
The maximum increase ratio of HR =∆HR/[HR at T1]) .
before induction of general anesthesia; 10 min after operation beginning; 30 min after glycopyrrolate injection

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
HRV frequency indexes
Time Frame: before induction of general anesthesia; 10 min after operation beginning; 30 min after glycopyrrolate injection
HRV frequency indexes included Low frequency power (LF, 0.04-0.15 Hz), High frequency power (HF, 0.15-0.4 Hz) and LF/HF.
