NCT04997707

Brief Summary

transcranial motor evoked potentials (TcMEP) were proved to be useful during complicated spinal surgeries to prevent iatrogenic complications. The effect of anesthetic agents was comprehensively discussed in literature. The Investigators studied a new balanced anesthetic protocol using propofol and sevoflurane in addition to continuous fentanyl infusion in which they compared values and ratios of amplitudes and latencies of TcMEP waves at different time point.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • TcMEP Monitoring (R1)

    The first TcMEP (R1) was taken before positioning and surgical incision, at least 20-25 min

    " up to 45 minutes"

  • TcMEP Monitoring(R2)

    R2), after positioning of the patient

    "up to 60 minutes"

  • TcMEP Monitoring(R3)

    (R3) was taken after the surgical incision

    " up to 75 minutes"

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)

    " up to 5 hours"

  • pulse rate

    " up to 5 hours"

  • Spo2

    " up to 5 hours"

  • temperature

    " up to 5 hours"

  • propofol infusion rate

    " up to 5 hours"

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

P group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

75-100 µg/kg/min propofol

Drug: Propofol AbbottDiagnostic Test: transcranial motor evoked potential(Tcm

BA group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

25ug/kg/min propofol and 0.2% below corrected-to-age- half MAC of sevoflurane

Drug: Propofol AbbottDrug: Sevoflurane Inhalation SolutionDiagnostic Test: transcranial motor evoked potential(Tcm

Interventions

in a rate of 75-100 μg/kg/min in P group, and 25μg/kg/min in BA group

Also known as: propofol
BA groupP group

in BA group will be calculated by age-adjusted end - tidal MAC as follows: for age of 18-25 years, 26-40 years and ≥40 years MAC will be 2.6%, 2.2% and 1.8% respectively then final concentration to be delivered will be 0.2% lower than calculated half MAC.

Also known as: sevoflurane
BA group

using NIM-SPINE™ SYSTEM (2005 Medtronic Sofamor Danek USA, Inc.). The stimulation used is a train-of-five square wave stimulation, 2ms inter-stimulus interval, 500 μs width and 40-220 mA intensity which can be increased with 10 mA steps till muscle answer potential is recorded.

Also known as: intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM)
BA groupP group

Eligibility Criteria
