Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Remifentanil

Intravenous bolus of 10 mL of remifentanil (0.7 mcg/kg based on ideal body weight) will be given ninety seconds before head pinning as well as an intravenous bolus of propofol (0.7 mg/kg).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Remifentanil

Intervention Type DRUG

Ninety seconds before pinning, an IV bolus of 10 mL of remifentanil (0.7 µg•kg-1 based on ideal body weight) will be administered from the study syringe and an IV bolus of propofol (0.7 mg•kg-1) will be administered

Normal Saline

Intravenous bolus of 10 mL normal saline from study syringe will be given ninety seconds before head pinning as well as an intravenous bolus of propofol (0.7 mg/kg).
