About this study

During elective carotid endarterectomy surgery, dexmedetomidine, an FDA approved medication, is now given as part of our standard anesthetic regimen based upon its reported ability to decrease anesthetic requirements and improve the peri-operative hemodynamic profile without compromising the EEG monitoring that is used during these procedures. Although this is consistent with our clinical impression, the effects of dexmedetomidine on the perioperative course and EEG monitoring have not been objectively evaluated at our institution.

Read the detailed description

Fifty sequential patient records will be identified from a search of the OR surgical schedules and reviewed: 25 patients before the introduction of dexmedetomidine and a standard anesthetic protocol and 25 patients after the introduction of the protocol. Data will be collected during an individual review of the pre-operative anesthetic evaluation, the intra-operative anesthetic record and the post-anesthesia care unit record and collated in an Excel spread sheet kept on a secure personal computer in the PI's office. All personal identifiers will be removed and the patients numbered sequentially before and after introduction of the clinical protocol. The data collected will be used to characterize the intraoperative anesthetic requirements, effects on EEG activity and the immediate postoperative recovery period. The review is expected to require 2 months to complete.

This review will be restricted to records that already exist. No therapeutically removed tissues will be collected. There will be no additional tests. No blood samples will be collected. No additional procedures are involved in this study activity. There is no incomplete disclosure.

The resources and personnel are currently available to complete this review. The entire project including data collection, analysis and summarization will be completed by the PI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endarterectomy, Carotid, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Effects of Dexmedetomidine on the Intraoperative Electroencephalogram During Endarterectomy Surgery (time frame: April 2005 - November 2009). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2017.
