Study summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the of propofol nanoemulsion and lipid emulsion for sedation in non-invasive ambulatory procedures.

Read the detailed description

Nanoemulsion of propofol has been developed without lipid solvent in the formulation to minimize the adverse events such as pain of injection, redness, heat, phlebitis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Classification of the sedation level

    Instantly after the loss of consciousness (loss of corneal-palpebral reflex) will be measured the sedation using the Ramsay Modified Scale.

    Time frame: time 0

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time of latency

    Time between the injection and loss of the corneal-palpebral reflex

    Time frame: 3-10 seconds

  2. Pain at injection

    The pain will be measured by CHEOPS Scale which evaluates the behavior of the child against pain.

    Time frame: 3 - 10 seconds: during the injection

  3. Physician satisfaction

    The satisfaction of the medical specialist will be assessed through a questionnaire that assesses conditions of sedation for the procedure.

    Time frame: 12 hours: end of procedure

  4. Awakening time

    Time between the last dose of propofol and the time when the patient awakes (cry, eyes opening and spontaneous movement).

    Time frame: 10 hours: when the patient awakes

  5. Total dose

    The total dose used will be measured in mg/kg/hour.

    Time frame: 12 - hours End of procedure

  6. Incidence of Adverse Events

    Adverse events will be compared in its incidence in the two formulations of propofol during the anesthetic induction and 12 hours after the procedures.

    Time frame: 0 to 14 hours
