About this study

Official title: Dexmedetomidine and Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction in Thoracic Surgical Procedure and One-Lung Ventilation(OLV)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Dexmedetomidine when used during thoracic surgery.

The primary outcome will be changes in oxygenation as measured the PaO2 during one lung ventilation.

Read the detailed description

To collect data on the effects of Dexmedetomidine(DEX)(0.3mcg/kg loading dose followed by an infusion of 0.3mcg/kg/hr)on Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction when administered to patients during surgery with one lung ventilated thoracic procedures. Dexmedetomidine has both vasoconstricting and vasodilatatory effect on peripheral vasculature but its effect on pulmonary vessels is not known. If it is predominantly a vasodilator on pulmonary vessels it can inhibit hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and will increase shunting of venous blood to arterial circulation without oxygenation. If our study proves it to be a vasodilator for pulmonary vessels then it will not be wise to use it in thoracic procedure with one lung ventilation. If our study proves that it is a vasoconstrictor for pulmonary vessels, then it will be an excellent adjunct to other anesthetic agents during one lung ventilation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by University of Missouri-Columbia 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 7 inclusion and 10 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 4 Oct 2016. 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?

The primary outcome will be changes in oxygenation measured by the PaO2 during one lung ventilation (time frame: During thoracic surgical procedure). 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 4 Oct 2016.
