About this study

Official title: Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Versus Intranasal Midazolam-ketamine Combination for Premedication of Pediatric Patients Undergoing Strabismus Surgery

The aim of this study is using intranasal dexmedetomidine versus intranasal midazolam-ketamine combination for premedication and preventing the oculocardiac reflex of pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery.

Read the detailed description

Preanesthetic medication in pediatrics is very helpful in relieving anxiety, fear and psychological trauma due to maternal deprivation. Midazolam and ketamine are commonly used for this purpose. Dexmedetomidine is an alpha 2 -agonist with a more selective action on the alpha 2 adrenoreceptor when administered via the nasal mucosa bioavailability of dexmedetomidine is too high. Intranasal route is an effective way to administer premedication and sedation to children. The oculocardiac reflex is a major complication of pediatric strabismus surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. the efficacy of premedication on ramsey sedation score

    after drug administration ramsey sedation scale is evaluate every 5 min.

    Measured: 30 min after premedication

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the effects of premedication on oculocardiac reflex

    the heart rate drops the 20% of the resting rate

    Measured: during the surgery

  2. mask acceptance scale

    The subject's ability to accept the anesthesia mask is measured using the mask acceptance scale.

    Measured: 30 min after sedation

  3. the parenteral separation anxiety scale

    The response to the child parent separation is assessed and graded according to a 4 point scale at 30 min.

    Measured: 30 min after sedation

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine in people with Premedication and Oculocardiac Reflex, run by TC Erciyes University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

the efficacy of premedication on ramsey sedation score (time frame: 30 min after premedication). 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 14 Apr 2015.
