About this study

Official title: A Randomised Controlled Trial of Intranasal Dexmedetomidine as Premedication for Suspension Laryngoscopy

Most patients with preoperative varying degrees of stress, anxiety, which makes the stress response in patients and affect the normal conduct of anesthesia and surgery.The sympathetic system hyperexcitability prone to cause adverse cardiovascular events and affect postoperative recovery. However, phenobarbital, as the traditional premedication, has less sedative, weak anxiolytic and other shortcomings. Midazolam accompanied by inhibition of respiration,excessive sedation, easily induced delirium,prolonged recovery time and so on. Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2-adrenergic receptor agonist, it has sedative, anxiolytic, no inhibition of respiration, and also colorless, odorless, non-mucosal stimulation, nasal drip ease of administration, patient acceptance, comfortable. Therefore, dexmedetomidine as premedication has certain advantages. The purpose of this research is to study sedative effect, safety and the impact of anesthesia recovery period of intranasal dexmedetomidine premedication for suspension laryngoscopy.

Read the detailed description

All patients received intranasal dexmedetomidine (1μg.kg-1) or placebo at approximately 45 min before induction of anesthesia.The study drug was prepared in a 1-ml syringe.An equal volume of dexmedetomidine or placebo was dropped into each nostril by a blinded research assistant in the supine position.Automatic sphygmomanometer measure blood pressure.Oxygen saturation and heart rate were measured by a pulse oximeter. Respiratory rate, sedation score and anxiety levels regularly assessed. Patients with general anesthesia, suspension laryngoscopy surgery and postoperative care, standard monitoring are unified.

What is being measured

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

  1. Extubation Time After Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Premedication

    The times from stopping anesthetic infusions to adequate ventilation, consciousness and extubation after intranasal dexmedetomidine or placebo administration

    Measured: 1 days

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Modified OAA/S Scores of Patients Receiving Intranasal Placebo or Dexmedetomidine

    Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale (OAA/S) scores and 4 point anxiety score of patients receiving intranasal placebo or dexmedetomidine.

    Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale:

    6 Appears alert and awake, responds readily to name spoken in normal tone 5 Appears asleep but responds readily to name spoken in normal tone 4 Lethargic response to name spoken in normal tone 3 Responds only after name is called loudly or repeatedly 2 Responds only after mild prodding or shaking

    1 Does not respond to mild prodding or shaking 0 Does not respond to noxious stimulus.

    Measured: 1 days

  2. Heart Rate (HR) of Patients Receiving Intranasal Placebo or Dexmedetomidine

    Heart rate (HR) of patients receiving intranasal placebo or dexmedetomidine. HR was monitored in the study.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Number of Participants With Anxiety Score >2

    satisfaction using a 3-point satisfaction score (1 = highly satisfactory, 2 = acceptable, and 3 = unacceptable) anxiety levels using a 4-point anxiety score (1 = combative, 2 = anxious, 3 = calm, and 4 = amiable) were collected before intranasal drugs and at pre-induction.

    Anxiety score >2 was considered to be better for the patient.

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Anxiety Score of Patients Receiving Intranasal Placebo or Dexmedetomidine

    4-point anxiety score:

    1. = combative
    2. = anxious
    3. = calm
    4. = amiable. Anxiety score >2 was considered to be better for the preoperative patients.

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Systolic Blood Pressure(SBP)of Patients Receiving Intranasal Placebo or Dexmedetomidine

    Systolic blood pressure(SBP)of Patients Receiving Intranasal Placebo or Dexmedetomidine.

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Number of Participants With Satisfaction Score <2

    Patient satisfaction scores using a 3-point satisfaction score (1 = highly satisfactory, 2 = acceptable, and 3 = unacceptable) were collected when patients were discharged from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).

    Satisfaction score <2 was considered to be better for the patient

    Measured: 1 day

  7. Perioperative Bradycardia Episodes

    Bradycardia was defined as heart rate (HR) <45 bpm for more than 10 s.

    Measured: 1 day

  8. Perioperative Tachycardia Episodes

    Tachycardia was defined as heart rate (HR) >100 bpm for more than 10 s.

    Measured: 1 day

  9. Perioperative Hypotension Episodes

    Hypotension was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) decreased more than 30% of the pre-operative value for more than 1 min.

    Measured: 1 day

  10. Perioperative Hypertonsion Episodes

    Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased 130% of the pre-operative value for more than 1 min.

    Measured: 1 day
