Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial in patients who require clinical anesthesia. The main purpose of this study is to understand whether there are differences in the cerebral blood flow, and oxygen metabolism affected by two types of anesthesia: propofol or sevoflurane. Subjects who require clinical anesthesia for a clinical MRI and for whom the use of propofol and sevoflurane are in clinical equipoise will be offered to have the anesthesia they will receive during their MRI randomized. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.


Description:

This is a randomized controlled trial in patients who require clinical anesthesia. The main purpose of this study is to understand whether there are differences in the cerebral blood flow, and oxygen metabolism affected by two types of anesthesia: propofol or sevoflurane. Subjects who require clinical anesthesia for a clinical MRI and for whom the use of propofol and sevoflurane are in clinical equipoise will be offered to have the anesthesia they will receive during their MRI randomized. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study. Treatment: All patients will be screened to ensure propofol and sevoflurane are in clinical equipoise. Those who meet eligibility criteria, and who undergo the informed consent, will be randomize to receive propofol or sevoflurane during their MRI. Standard-of-care anesthesia safety, dose and monitoring will not be changed. During their MRI, additional images will be acquired that measure the cerebral blood flow and cerebral venous oxygenation. These additional images will take up-to 10 extra minutes to acquire. This will increase the duration each subject spends under anesthesia, and in the MRI scanner by up-to a total of 10 extra minutes. Safety Assessment: To ensure that either propofol or sevoflurane are in clinical equipoise, all patients will be screened by an anesthesiologist. The experiment will occur in the standard-of-care clinical MRI environment. All patient safety and monitoring will remain in place. Throughout the induction, maintenance and recovery from anesthesia, all procedures will occur in the standard of care environment and will be overseen by trained clinical personnel. Efficacy Assessment: Cerebral blood flow and metabolism MRIs will be collected from all subjects.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Patients who are scheduled for a clinically indicated MRI at the sponsor institution. - Patients who are able to tolerate an MRI. - Patients who require clinical anesthesia for their MRI. - Patients with conditions not believed to alter oxygen metabolism or blood flow in the brain, including but not limited to patients with orthopedic indications, undescended testicles, hernia repairs, term equivalent age scans. - Patients who have no medical conditions that make the use of propofol or sevoflurane better for their clinical outcome. - Patients between birth and up-to 1 year of age. - Patients with conditions known to alter oxygen metabolism or blood flow in the brain, e.g. traumatic brain injury, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, tumor. Exclusion Criteria: - Patients with an MRI-incompatible device or implant (e.g. pacemakers, stents) - Preterm infants less than 25 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) at the time of the scan. - Patients who are clinically too unstable to extend their MRI by up-to 10 minutes. - Patients who do not require clinical anesthesia. - Patients at risk for propofol infusion syndrome (known severe metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, lipemia, rhabdomyolysis, hepatomegaly, renal failure, ECG ST segment elevation, and/or cardiac failure) - Patients at risk for sevoflurane-based malignant hyperthermia (known ryanodine receptor mutations) - Patient at risk for sensitivity to volatile halogenated anesthetic agents (known congenital Long QT Syndrome or patients taking drugs that can prolong the QT interval), - Patients with Perioperative Hyperkalemia (known neuromuscular disease, particularly Duchenne muscular dystrophy)

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in cerebral blood flow (ml blood/100g/min) Phase contrast (PC) acquisition via MRI will be used to assess any impact of anesthesia on cerebral blood flow. Time points over which the change is assessed: change from (1) start of MRI, through (2) MRI completion, an average of 60 minutes.
Primary Change in cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (ml O2/100g/min) T2 relaxation under spin tagging (TRUST) acquisition via MRI will be used to assess any impact of anesthesia on cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen. Time points over which the change is assessed: change from (1) start of MRI, through (2) MRI completion, an average of 60 minutes.
