Clinical Trial Summary

Edmon is the first Communauté Européenne (CE) marked medical device able to continuously measure propofol in the exhaled breath of patients under sedation or anaesthesia with propofol. Current scientific publications indicate that it makes sense from a pharmacologic point of view to measure propofol in the exhaled air. If the present study can show the Edmon to be able to detect small differences in propofol plasma concentration it will underline the clinical value of measuring propofol in the exhaled breath. This might be an opportunity for a significant improvement in patient monitoring.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Propofol measurements	To investigate the correlation between propofol concentrations in exhaled breath and blood plasma in patients undergoing elective surgical procedures under total intravenous anaesthesia.	During elective surgical procedure lasting longer than 1 hour
Secondary	Identification of confounders with an impact on propofol exhaled breath concentration, e.g.among ventilatory and circulatory parameters	To identify confounders among ventilatory and circulatory parameters by correlating the course of propofol values with courses of single parameters from vital sign monitor or anaesthetic machine (e.g. systolic blood pressure or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP))	During elective surgical procedure lasting longer than 1 hour
Secondary	Evaluation of the correlation between propofol exhaled breath concentration and EEG index values	For that correlation EEG index values (Bispectral index (BIS) and suppression ratio) will be corrected by calculated remifentanil plasma concentration and then correlated to propofol exhaled breath concentrations	During elective surgical procedure lasting longer than 1 hour
