Trial Outcomes & Findings for UNderstanding CONSciousness Connectedness and Intraoperative Unresponsiveness Study (NCT NCT03284307)

NCT ID: NCT03284307

Last Updated: 2023-04-13

Results Overview

The difference in spontaneous EEG slow wave activity over posterior cortex between states of consciousness measured with high-density EEG equipment and reported in spectral power in the delta band (1-4 Hz) at electrode Oz. Disconnected conscious experience (dreaming), connected conscious experience (awareness of the external world), and unconsciousness (no report) was assessed when participants were roused from sedation or sleep.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited via an email that was sent to UW-Madison students and staff from August 2017 through March 2020. Interested participants would discuss study commitment and preliminary screening criteria with the study team over the phone. Eligible participants would meet with a faculty anesthesiologist at a screening visit to complete informed consent and for a history and physical examination and basic neuropsychological assessment to determine subsequent study visit eligibility.

Participants were assigned to a drug if they were both eligible and reconsented the morning of the visit. Drug visits occurred in a sequence: Dexmedetomidine, Ketamine, Propofol, and then Midazolam. The same participant could participate in all drug visits if they were eligible, and a minimum of 28 days had past since their previous drug visit. All participants interested in a drug visit were asked to also complete a sleep visit which occurred before the first drug visit if possible.

Measure
All Study Participants
Participants completed sedation visits in the order of dexmedetomidine, ketamine, propofol, and midazolam. There was a washout period of at least 28 days between sedation visits. Subjects were also asked to complete a separate overnight sleep visit with an EEG. Participants reconsented at each sleep and sedation visit. If a patient was inappropriate for one sedative, due to a specific contraindication to that drug (and not the study in general) but were eligible for another drug, then they progressed through the order of sedatives while skipping that inappropriate drug. At each drug visit, participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Intraoperative (During sedation-- up to 8 hours)

Population: No midazolam visit was ever conducted because no interested participants had reached that step of the drug sequence after it was added to the protocol in November of 2019.This was in large part due to the shutdown of in-person research activities in March of 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The difference in spontaneous EEG slow wave activity over posterior cortex between states of consciousness measured with high-density EEG equipment and reported in spectral power in the delta band (1-4 Hz) at electrode Oz. Disconnected conscious experience (dreaming), connected conscious experience (awareness of the external world), and unconsciousness (no report) was assessed when participants were roused from sedation or sleep.

Dexmedetomidine
n=20 Participants
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Dexmedetomidine-specific activities: Rapid infusion of 3.0 mg kg-1 h-1 was administered over a 10 min period followed by a 0.5 mg kg-1 h-1 maintenance infusion to achieve the first drug step. The second drug step was similarly achieved by a 10 min infusion of 3.0 mg kg-1 h-1 followed by a 1.5 mg kg-1 h-1 maintenance infusion. Duration of drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Ketamine
n=15 Participants
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Ketamine-specific activities: Ketamine was titrated using up to a 4.5mg/kg bolus over 10 minutes followed by 0.1-0.5mg/min intravenous infusion with 5 minutes between increments and titrated to desired observed alertness/sedation level. This infusion rate may be slowed further or stopped for patient safety concerns. Infusion rates will be adjusted using information from the target-controlled infusion model clinical judgment. Short-lived emergence delirium (confusion on awakening) may occur on emergence from ketamine anesthesia and this will be managed through standard clinical practice including administration of midazolam (up to 4mg IV) if required. Duration of drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Propofol
n=6 Participants
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Propofol-specific activities: A target-controlled infusion model used to predict plasma concentrations of propofol at 0.5 mcg/mL increments allowing 5-minutes to equilibrate between any step change. Dosing will be confined to FDA approved limits with up to a 2.5mg/kg bolus over 1 to 3 minute followed by an infusion of 50-200mcg/kg/min titrated to the desired observed alertness/sedation levels. Drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Midazolam
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Midazolam-specific activities: Initial boluses of up to 0.35mg/kg followed by doses up to 0.1mg/kg/h as a maintenance infusion. Duration of drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Sleep
n=15 Participants
Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sleep recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. After the pre-sleep recording, participants laid down within 30 minutes of their usual bedtime and were left to sleep for 2-3 hours. After this period, the participant was woken up every 15-30 minutes to answer standardized wake report form questions. After awaking a final time, the participant repeated 10 minutes of awake eyes open and eyes closed recordings as well as the predictive coding cognitive task on a computer.

The ability to identify shapes/images in visual illusions measured by the NIH Toolbox. Will be reported by a computed score from NIH Toolbox for the Dimensional Change Card Sort Test (DCCS) and the Flanker Inhibitory Control \& Attention Test (Flanker). Both Flanker and DCCS use a 2-vector scoring method that takes accuracy and reaction time (if accuracy \>=80%) into account, resulting in a computed score that can range in value from 0-10. A higher score indicates better performance on the test.

After this period, the participant was woken up every 15-30 minutes to answer standardized wake report form questions. After awaking a final time, the participant repeated 10 minutes of awake eyes open and eyes closed recordings as well as the predictive coding cognitive task on a computer.

Measure
Dexmedetomidine
n=18 Participants
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Dexmedetomidine-specific activities: Rapid infusion of 3.0 mg kg-1 h-1 was administered over a 10 min period followed by a 0.5 mg kg-1 h-1 maintenance infusion to achieve the first drug step. The second drug step was similarly achieved by a 10 min infusion of 3.0 mg kg-1 h-1 followed by a 1.5 mg kg-1 h-1 maintenance infusion. Duration of drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Ketamine
n=15 Participants
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Ketamine-specific activities: Ketamine was titrated using up to a 4.5mg/kg bolus over 10 minutes followed by 0.1-0.5mg/min intravenous infusion with 5 minutes between increments and titrated to desired observed alertness/sedation level. This infusion rate may be slowed further or stopped for patient safety concerns. Infusion rates will be adjusted using information from the target-controlled infusion model clinical judgment. Short-lived emergence delirium (confusion on awakening) may occur on emergence from ketamine anesthesia and this will be managed through standard clinical practice including administration of midazolam (up to 4mg IV) if required. Duration of drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Propofol
n=5 Participants
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Propofol-specific activities: A target-controlled infusion model used to predict plasma concentrations of propofol at 0.5 mcg/mL increments allowing 5-minutes to equilibrate between any step change. Dosing will be confined to FDA approved limits with up to a 2.5mg/kg bolus over 1 to 3 minute followed by an infusion of 50-200mcg/kg/min titrated to the desired observed alertness/sedation levels. Drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Midazolam
Standard drug visit activities: Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sedation recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. Once the pre-sedation recording was collected, the faculty anesthesiologist began administering the study drug. A new EEG recording was started to monitor brain waves while all of the pre-sedation activities were repeated after the administration of the study drug. Midazolam-specific activities: Initial boluses of up to 0.35mg/kg followed by doses up to 0.1mg/kg/h as a maintenance infusion. Duration of drug exposure was limited to 4 hours.
Sleep
Participants were fitted with a saline gel EEG cap and a pre-sleep recording was collected. Participants' brain waves were recorded during rest, while responding to a standardized wake report form, and while performing a predictive coding cognitive task on a computer. After the pre-sleep recording, participants laid down within 30 minutes of their usual bedtime and were left to sleep for 2-3 hours. After this period, the participant was woken up every 15-30 minutes to answer standardized wake report form questions. After awaking a final time, the participant repeated 10 minutes of awake eyes open and eyes closed recordings as well as the predictive coding cognitive task on a computer.
