About this study

Official title: To Determine the Median Effective Dose (ED50) of Dexmedetomidine to Facilitate LMA Insertion During Anaesthesia Induction With Propofol 2.0 mg/kg

Dexmedetomidine can be used as a co-induction agent to facilitate laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion with minimal effect on respiratory function. The purpose of the study was to determine the median effective dose (ED50) of dexmedetomidine to facilitate LMA insertion during anaesthesia induction with propofol 2.0 mg/kg.

Read the detailed description

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α2 receptor agonist, which produces sedative, anxiolytic and analgesic effects without causing clinically significant respiratory depression. Dexmedetomidine also reduces the propofol requirement for sedation and anaesthesia induction. Therefore, dexmedetomidine may be a useful co-induction agent to facilitate LMA insertion with minimal effects on respiratory function. A recent study showed that dexmedetomidine administration prior to propofol induction provided similar conditions for successful LMA insertion, as does fentanyl without respiratory depression. The purpose of this study was to determine the median effective dose (ED50) of dexmedetomidine required for successful LMA insertion during induction with propofol of 2 mg/kg .

What participants receive

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

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    The modified Dixon's up-and-down method was used to determine the bolus dose of dexmedetomidine, starting from 1.0μg/kg (step size; 0.1μg/kg)

What is being measured

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

  1. The assessment of sedation (determine the effect-site dose of dexmedetomidine blunting cardiovascular responses to the insertion of the laryngeal mask airway at the same level of sedation)

    The aim of this study was to determine the effect-site dose of dexmedetomidine blunting cardiovascular responses to the insertion of the laryngeal mask airway at the same level of sedation.

    Measured: 5min after the end of the infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexmedetomidine and Propofol in people with Anesthesia, run by Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2015. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact bo xu (88653387 ext. 020, xubo333@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The assessment of sedation (determine the effect-site dose of dexmedetomidine blunting cardiovascular responses to the insertion of the laryngeal mask airway at the same level of sedation) (time frame: 5min after the end of the infusion). 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 12 Mar 2015.
