Condition(s) targeted: Cerebral Ischemia

Intervention: propofol (Drug); Desflurane (Drug); alfentanil (Drug); Rocuronium (Drug)

Phase: N/A

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Gachon University Gil Medical Center

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Hyun Jeong Kwak, MD.PhD, Study Director, Affiliation: Gachon University Gil Hospital

Summary

The investigators hypothesized that both propofol and desflurane would decrease the regional oxygen saturation (rSO2) but propofol is likely to reduce rSO2 more than sevoflurane when patients are raised to the sitting position.

Clinical Details

Official title: International Review Board of Gachon University Gil Hospital

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Investigator), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: Regional Cerebral Oxygen Satuation (rSO2)

Detailed description: The investigators hypothesized that both propofol and desflurane would decrease the rSO2 but propofol is likely to reduce rSO2 more than sevoflurane when patients are raised to the sitting position. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of desflurane and propofol on rSO2 values during the beach chair position for shoulder arthroscopy.
