Population Pharmacodynamic Modeling of the Sedative and Side Effects of Propofol

Completed
Conditions
Surgery Related to Lower Extremity Under Spinal Anesthesia
Registration Number
NCT02173340
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

Sedation during spinal anesthesia is very useful for patients' comfort. However, intermittent bolus of sedative frequently results in inappropriate sedation which comes with various side effects such as patients' discomfort and apnea. Therefore, it would be reasonable to use target-controlled infusion(TCI) to provide proper sedation without serious side effects.

In this study, the investigators try to find the appropriate propofol target concentration with TCI device and build a pharmacodynamic non-linear mixed effect model between propofol target concentration and side effects.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
sedation scoreevery 5 minutes when the dose is adjusted up to 1 hour

Sedation score will be assessed with 'Modified Observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (OAA/S) score'. It has 5 scales from 1 to 5 as followed.

1. responds readily to name spoken in normal tone

2. lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone

3. responds only after name is spoken loudly and/or repeatedly

4. responds only after mild prodding or shaking

5. does not respond to mild prodding or shaking

After induction of spinal anesthesia, patient will be sedated with propofol via TCI device. The infusion dose will be adjusted every 5 minutes until the OAA/S score reaches 4. The patient's OAA/S score will be assessed overtime the infusion dose is adjusted during sedation. At the same time, airway obstruction score will be assessed and if the score reaches 4, the dose will be reduced.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
airway obstruction scoreevery 5 minutes when the dose is adjusted up to 1 hour

Airway obstruction score will be assessed as followed.

1. normal breathing

2. deep breathing

3. snoring

4. severe airway obstruction

After induction of spinal anesthesia, patient will be sedated with propofol via TCI device. The infusion dose will be adjusted every 5 minutes until the OAA/S score reaches 4. The patient's OAA/S score will be assessed overtime the infusion dose is adjusted during sedation. At the same time, airway obstruction score will be assessed and if the score reaches 4, the dose will be reduced.
