What participants receive

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

  • sevoflurane and 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidineDrug

    Also called DEX1

    After induction of general anesthesia, Group DEX1 received a single dexmedetomidine dose of 0.5 μg/kg over 10 minutes.

  • sevoflurane and 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidineDrug

    Also called DEX2

    After induction of general anesthesia, Group DEX2 received a single dexmedetomidine dose of 1 μg/kg over 10 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Observing the recovery characteristics of patients who were scheduled to undergo endovascular coil embolization.

    The time from termination of the general anesthetic to the time that the patient's eyes opened. Anesthesiologists collected information on emergence agitation, postoperative nausea and vomiting for 24 hours after the surgery.

    Measured: At the end of the operation and 24 hours later

A Phase 4 study testing sevoflurane and 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and sevoflurane and 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine in people with Intracranial Aneurysms, run by China Medical University, China 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?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Observing the recovery characteristics of patients who were scheduled to undergo endovascular coil embolization. (time frame: At the end of the operation and 24 hours later). 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?
