About this study

Official title: The Effect of Prophylactic Dexmedetomidine on Hemodynamic Disturbances During Double Lumen Endotracheal Intubation. A Double-blinded, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic responses during laryngoscopy and double lumen endotracheal intubation and assess the adverse effect related to complications of dexmedetomidine.

Read the detailed description

The cardiovascular responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are mediated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The hemodynamic responses resulting from sympathetic nervous system stimulation are tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, increased intraocular pressure, increased intracranial pressure, bronchospasm and myocardial ischemia. Tachycardia is one of the major predictor of intraoperative myocardial ischemia and causes an imbalance of myocardial oxygen supply and demand. Although hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation is transient, these effect may be harmful to patients suffering from myocardial and cerebrovascular diseases. The placement of double lumen endotracheal tube may produce similar or greater pressor response than endotracheal tube because of larger sizes and greater carinal stimulation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change in systolic blood pressure

    direct arterial pressure monitoring

    Measured: (day 1) before induction, before intubation and every minute for the first 10 minutes after endotracheal intubation

  2. change in diastolic blood pressure

    direct arterial pressure monitoring

    Measured: (day 1) before induction, before intubation and every minute for the first 10 minutes after endotracheal intubation

  3. change in mean arterial pressure

    direct arterial pressure monitoring

    Measured: (day 1) before induction, before intubation and every minute for the first 10 minutes after endotracheal intubation

  4. change in heart rate

    Measured: (day 1) before induction, before intubation and every minute for the first 10 minutes after endotracheal intubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. adverse events related to dexmedetomidine

    bradycardia, hypotension, arrhythmia

    Measured: (day 1) during dexmedetomidine administration until 10 minutes after endotracheal intubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dexmedetomidine in people with Intubation Complication and Tracheal Intubation Morbidity, run by Chiang Mai University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 15 Dec 2011. 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

change in systolic blood pressure (time frame: (day 1) before induction, before intubation and every minute for the first 10 minutes after endotracheal intubation). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01289769, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Dec 2011.
