Clinical Trial Summary

Geriatric patients undergoing general anesthesia face a significant challenge, with the induction phase contributing to 50% of hypotensive events. Titrated anesthesia, involving gradual drug administration, suits elderly induction. However, propofol in titrated anesthesia tends to induce hypotension. In contrast, Ciprofol (HSK3486), a novel anesthetic, reduces hypotension during induction. This study compares hypotension incidences during induction and post-induction phases, agitation rates during recovery, perioperative awareness, postoperative delirium, and parameters in elderly patients induced with Ciprofol versus propofol through titrated anesthesia. The goal is to clarify a medically optimized anesthesia protocol for elderly patients during titrated anesthesia induction in general anesthesia.

Description:

As the global population ages, there is a growing demand for surgical interventions among the elderly. However, this demographic is concurrently faced with an increased susceptibility to postoperative complications. Notably, the geriatric population undergoing general anesthesia exhibits a higher incidence of hypotension, intricately linked with a spectrum of postoperative issues. The induction phase of general anesthesia, constituting 50% of hypotensive events, presents a significant challenge in mitigating hypotension. Titrated anesthesia, characterized by gradual and individualized drug administration, emerges as a suitable approach for the induction of general anesthesia in the elderly. Nevertheless, the administration of propofol through titrated anesthesia maintains an observable tendency to induce hypotension. In contrast, Ciprofol (HSK3486), a novel anesthetic agent, demonstrates a reduced propensity for precipitating hypotension during the induction of anesthesia. This investigative study aims to meticulously examine and compare the incidences of hypotension during both the induction and post-induction phases. Furthermore, it endeavors to delineate differences in the rates of agitation during the recovery phase, perioperative awareness, postoperative delirium, and other relevant parameters among elderly patients induced with ciprofol versus propofol via titrated anesthesia. A sample size of 80 patients in each group will be selected by a prior power analysis on the basis of the following assumptions: (1) the rate of hypotension in group Propofol was 57%; and 30%in group Cipropfol (2)α=0.05, (4) power 90% and .(5) missed follow-up rate 12%. After obtaining informed consent, all participants will be randomized to one of the trial groups using a stratified method. A 20G catheter will be inserted into the radial artery before anesthesia induction. Vital signs will be recorded from 3 minutes before general induction until 15 minutes after tracheal intubation. Participants in Group P will undergo induction with propofol, starting at a rate of 15mg/kg/h until loss of consciousness, followed by an adjustment to a slower infusion rate. In contrast, Group C will receive ciprofol at a rate of 3mg/kg/h. Following the intervention period, all participants will receive sevoflurane and remifentanil until the conclusion of the surgery. Both groups will be followed up for 7 days postoperatively to assess perioperative awareness, postoperative delirium, quality of recovery, and postoperative complications.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The difference in the incidence of hypotension occurring 15 minutes after successful intubation between the two groups.	Hypotension is defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg or lower. The occurrence of hypotension in each group will be documented.	From successful tracheal intubation to 15 minutes later.
Secondary	Time-weighted area under the curve of blood pressure during the post-induction phases of anesthesia with a mean arterial pressure (MAP) = 65 mmHg.	This outcome will be caculated as: (65-MAP)(mmHg)*Time(min)	From successful tracheal intubation to 15 minutes later.
Secondary	Time-weighted area under the curve of blood pressure during the induction and post-induction phases of anesthesia with a mean arterial pressure (MAP) = 70% of the baseline value.	This outcome will be caculated as: (70%*MAPbaseline -MAP)(mmHg)*Time(min)	From successful tracheal intubation to 15 minutes later.
Secondary	The dose of norepinephrine used during the induction and post-induction periods.	Norepinephrine dosage in each group will be recorded.	From the administration of general anesthesia with an induction drug to 15 minutes after tracheal intubation has been completed.
Secondary	Incidence of perioperative awareness	The rate of awareness in each group will be recorded.	1,2,3 days postoperatively
Secondary	Incidence of agitation during the post-anesthesia recovery period and early postoperative delirium .	Patients will be astimated using the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS, the score between -5~+4) and Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU).The rate of agitation of each group will be recorded.	30min and 1hour after patients arrived the PACU
Secondary	The difference of Postoperative Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score.	The Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) score,which has a max score of 150,and minimum score of 0, and a higher score means a bettery recovery. The score of each group will be recorded.	1,2,3 days postoperatively
Secondary	Incidence of Postoperative delirium	The postoperative delirium will be screened using the 3-Minute Diagnostic confusion assessment method (3D-CAM).If patients is in the ICU ,then will be screened with CAM-ICU method.The rate of deilirium in each group will be recorded.	1,2,3days postoperatively
Secondary	Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting	Rate of participants with nausea and vomiting	postoperative 1,2,3days
Secondary	Incidence of complications within 7 days postoperatively.	All complications were evaluated according to the Clavian-Dindo Classification of Surgical Complications (CD). The CD scoring system is divided into five levels, with the more severe the complication, the higher the score.The occurrence of Clavien-Dindo grade =2 in each group will be recorded.	7 days postoperatively.
