Condition(s) targeted: Surgery

Intervention: Remifentanil (Drug); Normal Saline (Drug)

Phase: N/A

Status: Terminated

Sponsored by: Northwestern University

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Laura Hemmer, M.D., Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Northwestern University

Summary

To identify a better method using a combination of routine anesthetic drugs to improve hemodynamic stability during Mayfield head pinning for craniotomy surgery.

Clinical Details

Official title: Effect of Remifentanil Administration on Hemodynamic Stability During Placement of a Mayfield Head Fixation Device for Craniotomy

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: Mean Arterial Blood Pressure After Head Fixation

Secondary outcome: Number of Patients Requiring Rescue Therapy for Hemodynamic Perturbations

Detailed description: A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded comparative effectiveness study to test hypothesis that addition of remifentanil bolus to a standard anesthetic drug regimen will better attenuate the hemodynamic response to the noxious stimulus of Mayfield head pin insertion than the standard anesthetic drug regimen.
