- Conditions
- Diastolic Dysfunction

- Diagnostic Test: Echocardiographic evaluation
- Registration Number
- NCT04117009
- Lead Sponsor
- Yeditepe University
- Brief Summary
In this study ASA 1, 2 individuals with grade 1 or 2 diastolic dysfunction will be recruited to assess the effects of Remifentanil infusion on left ventricular function evaluated with transthoracic echocardiagraphy.
- Detailed Description
Our aim in this study is to evaluate the effects of Remifentanil infusion on left ventricular function evaluated with transthoracic echocardiagraphy on ASA 1, 2 individuals with grade 1 or 2 diastolic dysfunction. Methods: 30 ASA 1-2 individuals with grade 1 or 2 diastolic dysfunction whose left ventricular ejection fraction is above 50% will be recruited. The patients will be selected among the ones who planned to undergo elective surgery either under general or regional anesthesia.
Patients with atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block, severe heart valve disease, tachyarrhythmia-bradyarrhythmia, left ventricular ejection fraction \< 50% and regional contraction anomaly, patients with liver, renal dysfunction, patients with lung disease, acute coronary syndrome, body mass index \>30 kg/m2, no oral intake for solid food more than 8 hours will be excluded from the study.
Baseline echocardiographic examination will be performed in the spontaneously breathing subjects right before the surgical procedure and study drug begins. Then remifentanil infusion will be started at a rate to reach target plasma level of 2 ng/mL. A target Controlled Infusion pump will be used to infuse the study drug. Once the target drug concentration is reached, the final echocardiographic examination will be performed.
After recording the baseline heart rate, respiratory rate, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse oximeter, sedation level, the same parameters will be recorded every 5 minutes during the remifentanil infusion period. Once the final echocardiographic evaluation is performed abovementioned parameters will be recorded for the last time.
Statistical analysis: The sample size calculation is made according to an increase or decrease in E/e' (alpha \<0,05; beta= 0,8).

Group Intervention Description Remifentanil 2 ng/mL Remifentanil 2 MG Following baseline echocardiographic evaluation, Remifentanil (ultiva at a concentration of 20 micg/ml) infusion will be started at a rate to reach a target plasma level of 2 ng/mL. A target Controlled Infusion pump will be used to infuse the study drug. Once the target drug concentration is reached (which is expected to reach around 10-15 minutes), the final echocardiographic examination will be performed. Remifentanil 2 ng/mL Echocardiographic evaluation Following baseline echocardiographic evaluation, Remifentanil (ultiva at a concentration of 20 micg/ml) infusion will be started at a rate to reach a target plasma level of 2 ng/mL. A target Controlled Infusion pump will be used to infuse the study drug. Once the target drug concentration is reached (which is expected to reach around 10-15 minutes), the final echocardiographic examination will be performed. Baseline Echocardiographic evaluation Baseline transthoracic echocardiographic examination will be performed in the spontaneously breathing patients right before the surgical procedure and study drug infusion begins.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method A change in diastolic function from the baseline value. Following baseline measurement, the second measurement will be performed as soon as the 2 ng/mL target plasma level of remifentanil is reached. This will probably take 15 to 20 minutes for each patient until the end of the 6 month long study period.] A change from the baseline diastolic function evaluated with echocardiography which is measured as soon as the patient arrives at the operating room when compared to diastolic function measured after reaching the target (2ng/mL) plasma concentration of remifentanil.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method A change in systolic function from the baseline value. Following baseline measurement, the second measurement will be performed as soon as the 2 ng/mL target plasma level of remifentanil is reached. This will probably take 10 to 15 minutes for each patient until the end of the 6 month long study period. A change from the baseline systolic function evaluated with echocardiography which is measured as soon as the patient arrives at the operating room when compared to systolic function measured after reaching the target (2ng/mL) plasma concentration of remifentanil.
