Effects of Sufentanil on Blood Pressure During Surgery

Effects of Sufentanil on the Intraoperative Hemodynamic Parameters in Patients Undergoing Extracranial-intracranial Bypass Surgery: a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Not applicable Interventional Seoul National University Hospital · NCT06091904

This study tests whether using sufentanil instead of remifentanil during surgery helps keep blood pressure stable in patients having a specific type of brain surgery.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the impact of sufentanil compared to remifentanil on intraoperative hemodynamics in patients undergoing elective extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery. A total of 92 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either sufentanil or remifentanil during the procedure. The study aims to assess how these medications influence blood pressure and overall hemodynamic stability during surgery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who are scheduled for elective extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery and classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 1, 2, or 3.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have severe respiratory insufficiency, or are classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists grade 4 will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management of intraoperative hypotension, enhancing patient safety and outcomes during surgery.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown varying success with similar approaches in managing intraoperative hemodynamics, but this specific comparison of sufentanil and remifentanil is novel.
