Study summary

To investigate the effects of non-invasive cerebral and peripheral NIRS monitoring and low and high flow sevoflurane anaesthesia on cerebral and peripheral NIRS in paediatric patients. To determine the effects of two different flows on these monitoring techniques and thus to facilitate intraoperative patient monitoring and to predict complications (hypoxia) that may occur.

Read the detailed description

The study will involve American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification (ASA) I-III risk group patients, aged between 2 and 12 years, who will under go general anesthesia with a surgical procedure time of 1 hour or more, and who will undergo pediatric surgery, orthopedic and urological surgery, will be included in the study. Preoperative patients' age, gender, height, weight, ASA score and operation type information will be recorded. Patients will be randomized by the sealed envelope method and divided into 2 groups: Low-Flow Anesthesia (LFA) and High-Flow Anesthesia (HFA) groups.

Two groups will undergo NIRS monitoring alongside routine ASA monitoring. Cerebral NIRS probe will be attached to the right and left frontotemporal region, and a peripheral NIRS probe will be attached to the inner surface of the forearm and the basal values will be noted.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Group LFA

    NIRS probe will be attached to the inner surface of the forearm and cerebral right-left frontotemporal region and the values will be noted. Standard ASA monitoring and induction will be performed. Fresh gas flow will be 4 lt/min, 50% oxygen/air mixture, sevoflurane vaporizer will be turned on at 4%, continue for 10 minutes and then fresh gas flow will be reduced to 0.8 lt/min, sevoflurane the MAK value will be adjusted to be between 0.9-1.1. Alarm limits appropriate to the patient's weight will be determined for all patients, the lower limit of inspired O2 will be set as 30%, the upper limit of inspired CO2 will be set as 5mmHg. If the inspired O2 value drops below 30%, the pulse oximeter peripheral SpO2 drops below 97, and the NIRS values drop by 20%, the oxygen concentration will be increased by 10%. The sevoflurane vaporizer will be turned off 10 minutes before the end of the operation. When the extubation criteria are met, the patient will be extubated.
