About this study

Official title: Optimal Dose of Dexmedetomidine for Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion During Propofol Induction

The investigators attempted to determine the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine required for the successful insertion of LMA during propofol induction without a neuromuscular blocking agent.

Read the detailed description

After a predetermined bolus dose of dexmedetomidine was injected over 2 min, anesthesia was induced with propofol 2.0 mg/kg. After confirming the loss of eyelash reflex and the bispectral index (BIS) score decreased below 60, the insertion of LMA was attempted.

What participants receive

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

  • dexmedetomidineDrug

    Also called precedex

    The dose of dexmedetomidine was determined by modified Dixon's up-and-down method, starting from 0.5 μg/kg (0.1 μg/kg as a step size).

  • propofolDrug

    Also called 2% fresofol

    Propofol 2.0 mg/kg was administrated

  • laryngeal mask airway (LMA)Device

    The insertion of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) was attempted, after confirming the loss of eyelash reflex,the bispectral index (BIS) score decreased below 60.

dexmedetomidineExperimentalAfter intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine for 2 min, propofol 2.0 mg/kg was administrated. And laryngeal mask airway device was inserted(LMA # 3,4).
Receives: Drug: dexmedetomidine; Drug: propofol; Device: laryngeal mask airway (LMA)

What is being measured

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

  1. successful insertion of LMA

    the response of patients to the insertion of LMA (classified as either 'movement' or 'no movement') during infusion of dexmedetomidine and propofol.

    Measured: from baseline to 2 min after insertion of LMA (participants will be followed for the duration of anesthetic induction, an expected average of 10 min).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing dexmedetomidine, propofol and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in people with Drug Usage, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2014. 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

successful insertion of LMA (time frame: from baseline to 2 min after insertion of LMA (participants will be followed for the duration of anesthetic induction, an expected average of 10 min).). 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 NCT01852539, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2014.
