Trial summary

The alpha2 agonist dexmedetomidine is a new sedative agent combined with the analgesic qualities and lack of respiratory depression. Patients sedated with dexmedetomidine could be easily roused, these advances shows dexmedetomidine may be a effective and safe sedative agent. Read more about this study

About this study

The alpha2 agonist dexmedetomidine is a new sedative agent combined with the analgesic qualities and lack of respiratory depression. Patients sedated with dexmedetomidine could be easily roused, these advances shows dexmedetomidine may be a effective and safe sedative agent. But some studies showed some adversely effects of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics (such as bradycardia, hypotension), the investigators want to further research the effects of dexmedetomidine on haemodynamics, such as Cardiac Output (CO), Systemic Venous Resistance Index(SVRI), and so on. Propofol is widely used sedative agent in ICU, it also has adversely effects like bradycardia and hypotension, so the investigators want to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine with propofol on haemodynamics after major abdominal surgery. Expect to further research the mechanism of haemodynamics of dexmedetomidine.

Read the detailed description

When the patients can be roused, they will first receive analgesia with bolus of fentanyl 0.03mg, followed by a continuous infusion at a fixed dose of 0.3μg/kg/h during study period. Then patients will be randomly divided into two groups (Dexmedetomidine and Propofol). All of them will receive hemodynamic monitoring through "Vigileo"(Edwards Lifesciences) and cardiogram monitor. The study will continue for 6-24 hours.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • dexmedetomidineDrug

    dexmedetomidine: IV (in the vein)at 1μg/kg in 10 minutes as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.3μg/kg/h.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores.

  • propofolDrug

    propofol: IV (in the vein)at 0.5mg/kg as a loading dose, followed by a continuous infusion at 0.5mg/kg/h.then adjust the infusion dose to maintain the ramsay scale at 3-4 scores.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Tumor and Intestinal Obstruction, run by First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2012. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact mingyin chen, MD (008613925019136, chmy1969@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiac output (time frame: the study will start when the patient can be roused after major abdominal surgery and will continue for 6 to 24hours). 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 22 Aug 2012.
