EEG Clinical Trial - Dose-response Curves Between Propofol &

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

In the world, 230 million surgeries are performed per year and a significant part is performed in patients over 65 years of age. These patients are more labile, especially from the neurocognitive point of view with a high risk to develop neurocognitive complications, such as postoperative delirium. Recent studies have linked this type of complication with an overdose of general anesthetics during surgery. For this reason, in recent years, the use of brain function monitors during the intraoperative period has been recommended to adapt the dosage of the drugs to each patient and thus to avoid overdosing of general anesthetics. However, to date, the available monitors that process the electroencephalographic signal are not able to adequately discriminate gradual changes in anesthetic depth. Also, no systematic studies have been performed that analyze changes that occur in the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal secondary to increases in complications from general anesthetics. Thus, the investigators design this study with the main aim to determine the changes in electroencephalographic patterns induced by a stepped increase of propofol until the burst suppression is reached.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators will carry out a prospective analytical observational clinical study at the Clinical Hospital of the University of Chile. In total 15 patients will be recruited, in who a frontal electroencephalographic signal will be recorded using a SedLine® monitor, and propofol concentration will be estimated using the Marsh model. First, the concentration of propofol at the loss of consciousness (LOS) will be recorded in the presence of remifentanil (7.5 ng/mL). Then, patients will be intubated and remifentanil will be decreased to 4 ng/mL. After that, the concentration of propofol that caused the LOS will be maintained for 20 minutes. Finally, propofol will be increased in steps of 0.3 mcg/mL for 7 min, until an episode of burst suppression will be observed. In the complete protocol, EEG activity will be acquired using a SedLine® monitor. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
