Japan Phase 2/3 Clinical Study With BLM-240 (Desflurane)
Completed
Baxter Healthcare Corporation
Phase 2/Phase 3
2008-02-01
The purposes of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of desflurane (BLM-240) as
an anesthetic agent and to demonstrate the non-inferiority of desflurane to sevoflurane in
term of awakening/recovery from anesthesia.
Previous studies on animals suggest that inhalational anesthetics can reduce vascular tension
in vitro resulting in vasodilation and decrease in blood pressure. This role for inhalational
anesthetics has essential clinical implications such as the condition of sepsis or septic
shock or other shock-associated states during which the blood vessel constricts strongly and
leads to circulation dysfunction. The vasodilation property of these anesthetics including
halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane and enflurane enables them to be better
options than other general anesthetics in many clinical conditions needing the vasculature to
be dilated. The investigators hypothesized that these inhalational anesthetics can evoke
vasodilation measured with ultrasonography during general anesthesia in vivo as the in vitro
studies displayed.

The purpose of this study is to establish validated outcome measures for Postoperative
Fatigue and Postoperative nausea, and to compare clinical impact of postanaesthetic symptoms
during first week after Propofol or Desflurane based anaesthesia.
