Mitigation of Emergence Agitation Through Implementation of Masimo Bridge Therapy

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Emergence Delirium
Agitation, Emergence
Interventions
Device: Bridge Therapy
Device: Sham Therapy
Registration Number
NCT06387953
Lead Sponsor
University of Washington
Brief Summary

This is a randomized, prospective, double-blinded (patient and outcome-assessor) trial. Our goal is to assess efficacy of Bridge Therapy (versus sham bridge therapy) to prevent emergence agitation following general anesthesia.

Primary Objective: Activation of Bridge Therapy from the time of the pre incision "time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post Anesthesia Care Unit) is associated with reduced frequency and intensity of emergence agitation.

Secondary Objective: Bridge Therapy activation will also result in a lower incidence of rescue pharmacologic treatment of agitation.

Tertiary Objective: Activation of Bridge Therapy during a stable anesthetic state is associated with a reduced Patient State Index as measured on Sedline

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Emergence agitationtime out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit)

Intensity of emergence agitation following general anesthesia will be measured by the Riker Sedation Agitation Scale (RSAS). The maximum score is 7, the minimum score is 1.

A high scores means a worse outcome (higher agitation).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rescue pharmacologic treatment of agitationFrom time of the pre incision "time out" until 24 hours after admission to the PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit)

Incidence of rescue pharmacologic treatment of agitation following general anesthesia. This will be measured by the number of times rescue pharmacological treatment was given.
