How mannitol affects propofol levels during brain surgery
Official title: Propofol Level at TCI During Mannitol
Run by Cukurova University · NCT06884657 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether giving mannitol changes blood and urine propofol levels in adults having supratentorial tumor or pituitary surgery under total intravenous anesthesia.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults (≥18) with ASA II who are scheduled for supratentorial tumor or pituitary surgery and who are eligible for total intravenous anesthesia and mannitol where indicated.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with ASA III or higher, chronic kidney failure, sepsis, or multiorgan failure would not be expected to benefit from or be eligible for this protocol.

What this trial studies
Forty adults (20 per group) undergoing supratentorial tumor or pituitary surgery at Çukurova University will be enrolled. All patients will receive target-controlled infusions set to propofol 4 µg/dl and remifentanil 2–4 µg/dl; the mannitol group will receive 2.5 ml/kg (0.5 g/kg) mannitol 20 minutes after induction over 10 minutes while the control group receives 2.5 ml/kg isotonic saline over 10 minutes. Blood and urine samples will be collected to measure propofol concentrations, and invasive hemodynamic monitoring plus bispectral index (BIS) will be recorded for all participants. Key exclusions include chronic kidney failure, sepsis, multiorgan failure, or ASA class III and above.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, results could help anesthesiologists adjust propofol dosing when mannitol is used, reducing the risk of over- or under-sedation.
How similar studies have gone: There is limited prior research directly measuring how mannitol affects propofol concentrations, so this approach is relatively novel.
