Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Sevoflurane
Treatment: Drugs - Propofol
Treatment: Drugs - Lidocaine IV

Active comparator: A - Sevoflurane + intravenous lidocaine

Active comparator: B - Sevoflurane

Active comparator: C - Propofol TIVA + intravenous lidocaine

Active comparator: D - Propofol TIVA


Treatment: Drugs: Sevoflurane
Inhaled anaesthetic used for maintenance of anaesthesia, dosed as per standard practice
