Forane (Isoflurane) - Summary

 
 



FORANE SUMMARY

FORANE (isoflurane, USP), a nonflammable liquid administered by vaporizing, is a general inhalation anesthetic drug.

FORANE (ISOFLURANE) is indicated for the following:

FORANE (isoflurane, USP) may be used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Adequate data have not been developed to establish its application in obstetrical anesthesia.

Clinical Trials Related to Forane (Isoflurane)

Sevoflurane vs. Isoflurane for Low-Flow General Anaesthesia for Abdominal Surgery [Completed]
Two groups of patients are going to have abdominal surgery with low-flow general anaesthesia. Group A (sevoflurane group, experimental group) will use volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane. Group B (isoflurane group, control group) will use volatile anaesthetic isoflurane. It will be observed differences between volatile anaesthetic sevoflurane and volatile anaesthetic isoflurane for providing low-flow general anaesthesia for abdominal surgery. Duration of this randomised controled trial will be approximately 2 months. Estimated sample size will be 82 persons (41 in sevoflurane group and 41 in isoflurane group).

Post Anesthesia Emergence and Behavioral Changes in Children Undergoing MRI [Recruiting]
Children who receive general anesthesia may become agitated (emergence delirium) in the recovery period. This occurs more often after inhalational anesthetics, particularly sevoflurane and desflurane than after propofol. However, agitation after anesthesia in children may be difficult to distinguish from pain; accordingly studies are ideally designed during MRI to obviate the contribution of pain during emergence. Airway complications have been reported after LMA and isoflurane more commonly than with IV propofol and nasal prongs. Whether the airway complications were due to the LMA or the isoflurane was unclear. Therefore, this study was designed to study the incidence of 1. agitation after sevoflurane compared with IV propofol and 2. airway complications after LMA or nasal prongs.

Isoflurane at Subanesthetic Concentrations - 6 [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To test the hypothesis that isoflurane at subanesthetic concentrations does not reduce cold-water immersion pain in healthy volunteers.

Isoflurane During Cardiopulmonary Bypass [Recruiting]
There is no clinical way of assessing the depth of anaesthesia while patients are on the heart-lung machine. A new method of measuring the depth of anaesthesia using brainwaves called the Bispectral index (BIS) has been developed and its use in cardiac surgery is now widespread. However BIS is also altered by patients body temperature. As cooling is common during heart surgery the use of BIS to measure the depth of anaesthesia during heart-lung bypass remains controversial. This study aims to find out what depth of anaesthesia is produced according to BIS during heart lung bypass using a standard anaesthetic technique that utilises the anaesthetic isoflurane.

Effects of Subanesthetic Concentrations of Isoflurane/Nitrous Oxide - 3 [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To evaluate the acute and residual effects of subanesthetic concentrations of isoflurane/nitrous oxide combinations in healthy volunteers.
