Trial Outcomes & Findings for General Anesthesia Emergence Induced by Methylphenidate (NCT NCT02327195)

NCT ID: NCT02327195

Last Updated: 2022-07-12

Results Overview

After stopping isoflurane infusion, when the patient breathes spontaneously with adequate tidal volume and respiratory rates, the trachea will be extubated and the time will be recorded.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: During the length of hospital stay post surgery (on average 24 hours), and up to 3 days after surgery

Continued multi-modal monitoring and vigilance with regard to any suspected adverse effects, including cardiovascular effects will help to fill the informational gap with regards to unknown cardiovascular side effects, emergence delirium incidence and perioperatory awareness.Due to the potential risk of drug related serious side effects, any clinical evidence of a serious adverse event will place the study on clinical hold until a full assessment and decision is made by the responsible parties.
