Trial summary

COPD is often associated with the airflow limitation and the pulmonary hyperinflation. During the one-lung ventilation (OLV), COPD patients' physiologic dead space increases and hypercapnia may develop. Read more about this study

About this study

COPD is often associated with the airflow limitation and the pulmonary hyperinflation. During the one-lung ventilation (OLV), COPD patients' physiologic dead space increases and hypercapnia may develop. In addition, an alveolar overdistention by the pulmonary hyperinflation would divert pulmonary blood flow and impair arterial oxygenation. Dexmedetomidine has both vasoconstricting and vasodilatatory effects on a peripheral vasculature and a smooth muscle but its effects on bronchial smooth muscle is unknown. The investigators will evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine (bolus of 1.0 μg kg-1 over 10 min followed by a continuous infusion at 0.5 μg kg-1 h-1 infusion during one-lung ventilation) as bronchodilator in COPD patients when administered during surgery with the one lung ventilation. If result successfully shows the effect of dexmedetomidine as a predominantly a vasodilator on bronchial tree, the investigators study can support the dexmedetomidine as a vasodilator for pulmonary vessels and bronchial smooth muscle and as an excellent adjunct to anesthetic agents in COPD patients during the OLV.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change of the oxygenation

    PaO2/FiO2 ratio

    Measured: At two-lung ventilation (T1) , 20 min after of one-lung ventilation (T2), 30 mins after Dex or placebo saline infusion (T3), 60 mins after Dex or placebo saline infusion (T4), at the termination of surgery in TLV (T5)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing saline infusion and dexmedetomidine infusion in people with COPD, One Lung Ventilation, run by Yonsei University.

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 5 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 14 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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 change of the oxygenation (time frame: At two-lung ventilation (T1) , 20 min after of one-lung ventilation (T2), 30 mins after Dex or placebo saline infusion (T3), 60 mins after Dex or placebo saline infusion (T4), at the termination of surgery in TLV (T5)). 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 NCT02185430, 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 14 Oct 2015.
