About this trial

This is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial. Routine perioperative care would be performed in volunteers with primary early lung cancer. The study will enroll approximately 300 volunteers to compare the progression-free or overall survival in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for primary lung tumors between propofol and sevoflurane for the maintenance of anesthesia.

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

eighteen to eighty-year-old

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Propofol

    Drug

    The propofol group was both induced and maintained at an effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.0-4.0 mcg/mL by a target-controlled infusion (TCI) system.

  • Sevoflurane

    Drug

    The sevoflurane group was maintained via sevoflurane vaporizer between 1% and 3% (target minimum alveolar concentration of 0.7-1.3 MAC)

Treatment groups

300 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: SevofluraneExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: PropofolExperimental treatment 1 intervention
