NCT05993039

Brief Summary

This study aims to prospectively compare surgical field quality and intraoperative blood loss between general inhalational anesthesia to total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) alone in subjects undergoing endoscopic ear surgery. A secondary objective is to compare rates of emergence delirium and total recovery time between the two groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Surgical Field Quality

    Neurotologists will evaluate endoscopic video clips from each surgery to assess clarity of field at different points in the surgery using the Boezaart scale grading system. It is a scale from 0-5, with 0 being the most favorable outcome and 5 being the least favorable outcome.

    Post-Operative evaluation (within 2 weeks)

  • Intra-operative blood loss

    Intraoperative blood loss will be determined by measuring the total number of pledgets needed to attain hemostatsis. This will be a general observation with the more pledgets needed to stop bleeding in the surgical area indicates more possible blood loss than the procedures with that require less pledgets.

    1-2 hours during surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Emergent Delirium and Recovery Time-Riker Scale

    Immediately After extubation

  • Emergent Delirium and Recovery Time-Richmond Scale

    Immediately After extubation

  • Post-operative pain or complications

    0-1 hour post-operative

Study Arms (2)

Inhalational Anesthesia

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Adults: The control group will receive general inhalational anesthesia (sevoflurane, isoflurane). The will be induced with fentanyl 1-2µg/kg, propofol 2mg/kg, lidocaine 1mg/kg. After orotracheal intubation, anesthesia will be maintained with isoflurane 1.5-2% or sevoflurane 1-2%. Children (12 or younger) induced with a combination of volatile anesthetic gases, including sevoflurane (up to 8%) and nitrous oxide gas (up to 70%). Those who are older than 12 will have an intravenous line placed in the preoperative area and as such will be induced with remifentanil and propofol as above. For maintenance, children in the control arm will receive 0.6 - 1.5% sevoflurane.

Drug: Isoflurane Inhalant ProductDrug: Sevoflurane inhalant product

Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Adults: The comparator arm will receive total intravenous anesthesia (propofol and remifentanil). They will be induced with fentanyl 1-2µg/kg, propofol 2mg/kg, and lidocaine 1mg/kg. After orotracheal intubation, anesthesia will be maintained with propofol 100-200mcg/kg/min, remifentanil 0.05-2µg/kg/min. Children (12 or younger) induced with a combination of volatile anesthetic gases, including sevoflurane (up to 8%) and nitrous oxide gas (up to 70%). Those who are older than 12 will have an intravenous line placed in the preoperative area and as such will be induced with remifentanil and propofol as above. For maintenance, they will receive 100-200mcg/min propofol and 0.05-2µg/kg/min remifentanil.

Masking Details
In the operating room, in order to blind the surgeon to the type of anesthesia used, a surgical drape will be placed in between the subject and the anesthesia team to conceal the anesthesia machinery and equipment. A sham intravenous pole will be at the anesthesia workstation for those subjects in the control arm to contribute to the blinding of the surgeon. Patients will not be informed about which arm they are randomly assigned to and only the anesthesiologist will be aware prior to the surgery.
