April 21, 2024 updated by: Jiwon Han, Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital

Comparison of Remimazolam and Propofol Combination vs. Propofol in Intraoperative Neurophysiologic Monitoring: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to compare total intravenous anesthetic agents: combined remimazolam and propofol vs. propofol monotherapy. The comparison parameters are intraoperative hypotension, patient's involuntary movement, neurophysiological monitoring quality, onset time, recovery time, and postoperative rescue anti-emetics requirements.

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 hypothesizes that the combination regimen of remimazolam and propofol as total intravenous anesthesia in neurosurgical procedures requiring neurophysiological monitoring can reduce the incidence of hypotension compared to propofol monotherapy while providing comparable levels of neurophysiological monitoring and surgical conditions. With this hypothesis, the study aims to compare the frequency, severity, and duration of hypotension, frequency of patient movement, and appropriateness of neurophysiological monitoring between the combination therapy of remimazolam and propofol and propofol monotherapy in total intravenous anesthesia.

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
Incidence of intraoperative hypotension
Time Frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day
mean arterial pressure < 65mmHg
operation day - postoperative 1 day

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
Amount and number of inotropic agents
Time Frame: operation day - postoperative 1 day
intraoperative inotropics amount (phenylephrine(mcg), ephedrine(mg), norepinephrine(mcg), dopamine(mg))
