THRIVE Feasibility Trial (THRIVE)

May 23, 2023 updated by: Michael Avidan, Washington University School of Medicine

Feasibility Study for the Trajectories of Recovery After Intravenous Propofol Versus Inhaled VolatilE Anesthesia (THRIVE) Trial

To evaluate the feasibility of a pragmatic, large scale, comparative effectiveness, randomized evaluation of patient experience of intravenous propofol versus inhaled volatile anesthesia.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Two-center single-blinded randomized feasibility study, with randomization 1:1 to either propofol TIVA or inhaled volatile general anesthesia for patients who are receiving elective non-cardiac surgery. Patients will be stratified by clinical site with 150 participants per site.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindication to propofol TIVA or inhaled volatile (for example, documented allergy to propofol, history of severe postoperative nausea or vomiting, concern for or history of malignant hyperthermia)
  • Surgical procedures requiring specific general anesthesia option (for example, TIVA required for neuromonitoring).
  • Hospital approved, written protocol mandating a particular technique
  • History of intraoperative awareness during general anesthesia based on patient self-report on the day of consent
