Effect of Changing Physiological Conditions on Myogenic Oscillations: Pilot Study

June 29, 2022 updated by: University of California, San Francisco

A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of Changing Physiological Conditions on the Amplitude and/or Frequency of Myogenic Oscillations

Spontaneous myogenic oscillations will be studied under general anesthesia using finger photoplethysmography. This pilot study will explore potential physiological conditions that will effect the amplitude and/or frequency of myogenic oscillations.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a single center, nonrandomized, nonblinded, interventional clinical pilot research study that plans to enroll 40 patients.

Study will be conducted while subjects are under general anesthesia.

Myogenic oscillations will be measured using finger photoplethysmography. Changes in the amplitude and/or frequency of these oscillations will be analyzed in response to the interventions. Arterial blood pressure will be recorded to verify the efficacy of the interventions.

Six different interventions that will either lower or increase blood pressure will be applied to the subjects. Each subject will receive 1 or 2 of the six interventions. Each of the 6 interventions will be applied to 8 subject.

The interventions that the subject will not be randomized. They will be determined by the subjects blood pressure immediately before the intervention to guarantee that the blood pressure manipulations are within a safe range.

Data will be analyzed offline using Matlab.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: Phenylephrine
Phenylephrine (100 ug/ml) infusion will be used to increase blood pressure by 20 mmHg
blood pressure will be increased or decreased by using one of six interventions: phenylephrine (alpha-1 agonist), dexmedetomidine (alpha-2 agonist), clevidipine (Ca channel blocker, CaCl, tetanic stimulus and increase in venous pressure
Other Names:
  • Neosynephrine
EXPERIMENTAL: Dexmedetomidine
Dexmedetomidine infusion will be used to increase blood pressure by 20 mmHg
blood pressure will be increased or decreased by using one of six interventions: phenylephrine (alpha-1 agonist), dexmedetomidine (alpha-2 agonist), clevidipine (Ca
Other Names:
  • Precedex
EXPERIMENTAL: Clevidipine
Clevidipine infusion will be used to increase blood pressure by 20 mmHg
blood pressure will be increased or decreased by using one of six interventions: phenylephrine (alpha-1 agonist), dexmedetomidine (alpha-2 agonist), clevidipine (Ca
Other Names:
  • Cleviprex
EXPERIMENTAL: Calcium Chloride
Calcium Chloride will be administered to increase blood pressure and to increase blood calcium concentration
CaCl will be administered to increase blood pressure and plasma calcium concentration
EXPERIMENTAL: tetanic stimulus
A 5 second 70 mA tetanic stimulus will be used to increase peripheral vascular tone
A 5 second 70 mA tetanic stimulus will be applied to elicit peripheral vasoconstriction (stress response)
EXPERIMENTAL: Increased venous pressure
A 5 minute inflation of a noninvasive blood pressure cuff to 30 mmHg to increase venous pressure in the arm.
A 5 minute inflation of a noninvasive blood pressure cuff to 30 mmHg to increase venous pressure in the arm with the pulse oximeter probes.
