Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: neurosurgery with fixation
Drug: remifentanil

According to previous patient's response, the investigators will allocate the effect site concentration of remifentanil of next patient during head fixation. And, For this allocation of dose of remifentanil the investigators use biased coin design up-and-down method.

For the first patient, the dose of remifentanil would be fixed at 5.5ng/ml which we predict as EC90. And, step size of dose is 0.5ng/ml.

Other Names:
  • Biased coin design up-and-down method.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
mean arterial blood pressure
Time Frame: peri-fixation periord
mean arterial blood pressure will be recorded at 2 minutes before fixation, 1 minute before fixation, highest value during immediately post-fixation periord, 1 minute after fixation, 2 minutes after fixation, 3 minutes after fixation, 4 minutes after fixation and 5 minutes after fixation.
peri-fixation periord
heart rate
Time Frame: peri-fixation periord
heart rate will be recorded at 2 minutes before fixation, 1 minute before fixation, highest value during immediately post-fixation periord, 1 minute after fixation, 2 minutes after fixation, 3 minutes after fixation, 4 minutes after fixation and 5 minutes after fixation.
