Active Emergence of From Isoflurane General Anesthesia Induced by Methylphenidate
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Methylphenidate HCl and Placebo for Delayed Emergence From Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 54 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether methylphenidate affects time of emergence from isoflurane general anesthesia. Time to emergence was defined as the time from termination of isoflurane to extubation. After stopping isoflurane infusion, when the patient breaths spontaneously with adequate tidal volume and respiratory rates, the trachea will be extubated and the time will be recorded.
